Welcome to Fair Play For Women

Women get called transphobic for simply asking questions. Women are afraid to speak out and fear for their jobs and reputation if they do.

We are a reliable and authoritative information source on all the key topics in the debate. We are also the platform for women to speak from and we regularly publish new articles written by our supporters.
