English FA to ban transgender women playing women's football in England from next season .

It follows a similar move by the Scottish FA this week after a UK Supreme Court ruling in April that a female is defined by biological sex.

In Scotland , only players who were female at birth will be allowed to play in women's sport over the age of 13 .

The new policies for both nations emulate blanket bans on trans women in sport introduced by athletics, cricket and rugby.
