Whatever else happens, people will still be punished for violations of The Orthodoxy.

A female footballer with suspected autism has been hit with a six-match ban after asking a “bearded” transgender opponent: “Are you a man?”

The 17-year-old cried as she was found guilty of “discrimination” by a national serious case panel over remarks made during a match against a trans-inclusive club.

Serious case forsooth. About as unserious as it gets, if you ask me. Do I think the bearded opponent was genuinely wounded in his feelings? No I do not.

The panel is understood to have found the young woman repeatedly asked whether the alleged victim was a man after she had already been informed the opponent was transgender.

Yes, and? “The opponent is transgender” doesn’t answer the question, now does it.

That hearing was branded “farcical” by one of those present on the call, who said the alleged victim was repeatedly “misgendered” as “he” by panel members, and was also said to have been asked repeatedly: “How many LGBQT+ players do you have in your team?”

Her parents were outraged both by the hearing and the outcome, with her mother telling Telegraph Sport: “We’ve always taught our daughter to ask questions, and if she doesn’t feel comfortable or she doesn’t feel safe then she should go to somebody in charge and ask the question. In safeguarding training at places of work, you’re always told that you should question everything but she’s been told and effectively sanctioned by the FA for doing so. She asked, ‘Are you a man?’, and she admitted to that. The FA is essentially saying that no woman, when faced with what appears to be a male on the pitch, is entitled to ask a question.”

Yes, the FA is saying that and trans ideology in general is saying that, loudly, angrily, often. Women are not allowed to avoid men in any situation or setting whatsoever.
