E ngland's Football Association will institute a ban on transgender women from competing in the sport at all levels, which will begin on June 1. The decision comes after the U.K.

Transgender women will be banned from playing on women’s soccer teams in England following a U.K. Supreme Court ruling last month, the sport’s governing body said Thursday.

Thousands of transgender people serve in the military, but they represent less than 1% of the total number of active-duty service members.
