Basically says James is determined to be a woman and made a sex-change procedure. And Everton keeps it hidden.

Can’t read it it’s blurred.

In the text itself, it says that two years ago, James decided to start taking hormone pills so he could start the transition into being a woman and it was the reason why Real and Zidane stopped playing him and shipped him off to Bayern and eventually sold him to Everton. No other clubs really wanted to deal with it and Everton signed him specifically so they could capitalize off of the kit sales in Colombia. The effects of the treatments are apparently weakening James' body and it's the reason a sub is in after 60 mins. After the game at Anfield, James apparently decided to finalize the procedure and this is why Ancelotti hasn't played him since. Now apparently, the FA will rule James can no longer play as a result of it all.

It is all over twitter right now and I have seen reports that Ancelotti was planning on revealing all of this at the end of the season. Shocking if true and honestly, I could see this really sparking a fierce debate here. Is it right to strip James of all the hard work they have done and not allow them to continue playing professionally with men if a club is interested?

Provided that all of you described above is true, I can understand why Everton has not been playing him if they see him weakening or not performing as optimally as they want as a result of what James has allegedly done to his body. What I don't understand is how could the FA strip James of his qualification to play entirely. That would be very wrong in my opinion.

Agreed. Unless the drugs he takes are banned or on the list of forbidden substances, you don't have grounds to ban him from playing men's football. The problem would be if he wants to play women's football since he'd be by far the best in an unethical way.

Yeah, if it was because of some drugs or substances that he took then that could be legitimate ground for the ban but not just because of what he did.

I am sure James will not be allowed to play women's football until he gets a real sex change and is deemed legally as a woman first.

I don't think that is fair to the women at all, fr.

Hot take here but I am of the opinion that "sex" segregation of sports needs to end soon, especially with how transgenderism is intersecting all of this recently. Like for real, we don't segregate sports by race anymore, this all feels very dated and especially with all of the bullshit the Womens US team spread, I think if anyone is good enough to play at the elite level, they should regardless of what is between their legs. It would sidestep all of this controversy and give everyone the same chance.

Idk, just spitballing here :lol:

I think this is probably going a bit too far.

Still not sure if I believe these rumours or not.

This is not good for the women mate, very unfair to ask them to compete against genetically stronger opponents.
