Nobody complained when Van Dijk played for France in the last Womens world cup.

To add to that, France didn't even win it in the end so it's really not that big of a deal.

I’d say he’s more a surgeon with the way he cuts off the opposition balls

A player the stature of Dan James is expected to compete against players the stature of Maguire / VVD. I therefore dont see how 1 male to female makes THAT big a difference in football.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, there is a disparity between Dan James and VVD as an example but small in relative terms. Now Imagine VVD went into women's football. Does the disparity grow and does it become way too large that it becomes unfair? I'd say the answer to both those questions is yes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

My point is that there are disparities between size and strength across most sports. Fellaini, Lukaku, Hulk, Maguires size doesnt give them huge advantages.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I know that's your point, that's what I replied to. My reply was that there is a small disparity in relative terms but potentially a massive and extremely unfair disparity if transgenders play in the female game.

Also generally smaller players in the male game make up for their size difference through other means like pace, however males are normally quicker than females, again in relative terms and therefore this 'advantage' against the massive disadvantage is reduced.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So do you believe Dan James or Fellaini would be world class In the female game if they were to transition?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course they would, they would be by miles the best players

Fellaini without doubt. James likely would be also as he would be stronger than the huge majority and also quicker.

He's quicker than all the men too but doesn't stop him running the ball out for a goal kick when he's trying to beat them

Fackinell.

Yes, Fellaini and James would be the best two players in the league if they joined a womens side now then.

Look...I'm all for people deciding to be transgender or gender fluid whatever you want...

But if it becomes compulsory I'm off

People supporting a transgender female (male to female) into sports are just being complete fools and THINK they are doing the right thing supporting that.

It has happen on several occasions where a man has competed as a woman and all its done is reduce the opportunities for women to get scholarships, support and having their records broken.

Complete joke.

Dan James or Fellaini would absolutely annihilate the entire female game.

The best team in women’s football lost to a bunch of U15 boys ffs
