England women’s friendly against Switzerland will see a second protest against the ban on a teenage girl for asking a “bearded” transgender opponent: “Are you a man?” following a demonstration in front of the Men’s Nations League match against the Republic of Ireland.

More than 200 women and men are estimated to have traveled to Wembley amid growing outrage over a six-match ban imposed last month by a national serious cases committee on a 17-year-old suspected of autism, who cried after being questioned about her comments. .

A group called “Twelve O Five,” which organized Sunday’s protest, is planning a second protest next month. Lionesses friendly at Bramall Lane.

The action at Wembley, halfway along the Olympic Path, also went against the Football Association’s policy of allowing those born male to play in women’s football.

It featured a number of slogans, including “Defend women’s football” and “Boys and girls are not the same.” We don’t want men in our game. On the field or on the court, keep men away from women’s sports.”

Banners held up by protesters read: “SAVE WOMEN’S SPORT”, “NO MEN IN WOMEN’S SPORT” and “The FA Cares About F. EVERYTHING ABOUT WOMEN AND GIRLS”.

The protest was welcomed by the girl’s mother, who missed the first match of her suspension the same day.

She told Telegraph Sport that the whole family was “grateful and grateful” for the support she had received, adding: “Everyone has helped her to know she did the right thing. This action and support mean a lot to her today as well as to other women and girls who are currently forced to accept men in their sports and spaces. Thank you very much everyone, the fight continues.

The girl whose plight sparked Sunday’s protest will miss two of her club’s matches, with the remaining four matches of her ban suspended for a year.

Her identity has been withheld by Telegraph Sport as she is a child and is being assessed for autism.

She was found guilty at a hearing last month based on her own testimony before the panel, which included that she sought advice from the arbitrator on the eligibility of a trans opponent and expressed concerns for his own safety.

This was despite her denying that this constituted transphobia and the referee also failing to notice anything he considered discriminatory.

His ban was condemned in the House of Lords on Wednesday by Lord Triesman, the former FA chairman, who also said of the matter: “I have no intention of leaving this unresolved.”

An FA spokesperson said: “Millions of people play grassroots football every week and we are proud of the many opportunities available to those who want to play and enjoy the game. We understand that there is This is a complex issue and we are very aware and respectful of the strong views of all parties. This particular case was heard by an independent National Serious Cases Committee, who handed down a sanction for breaching FA rules.

“However, given the ongoing public debate – which has included some inaccurate information – it is important to note that the sanction only related to two matches, with a further four matches suspended. Had the details of the case been limited to those currently in the public domain, it is highly likely that no sanctions would have been imposed. We have said previously that this is a complex case, not all the facts are in the public domain and we are unable to release further details due to the age of one of the people involved.
