Transgender athlete Francesca Needham has left English soccer club Rossington due to the refusal of players from other teams to play against her, Sky News reported.

The boycott against Rossington matches began with an incident in which a female player at one of the club injured her knee while trying to block Needham's kick.

It's disheartening to acknowledge that this situation contradicts everything in the diversity and inclusion policies, given that I have diligently met every single requirement set out by the Football Association to play.

The athlete is going to appeal to the court with charges of discrimination, because refusal to compete against her violates the code of conduct.
