A female female football player with ADHD and learning difficulties received a ban after he had wondered if some of her opponents were men.
The six-match ban of the 18-year-old comes only a few months after a 17-year-old girl with presumably autism was reprimanded in comparable circumstances.
In the last incident, the teenager would have asked the referee if all players were eligible to play and the player described with a number 10 on their shirt as 'clearly a man'.
She is also said to have asked the opposition players the same question after she claimed that she did not receive any clarity from the referee about the 'extremely aggressive' players.
Transgender female players aged 16 or older are allowed to play against girls and women according to the rules of the football club, although the 2007 policy has been criticized and revised.
The indictment was submitted against the teenager under the same rules.
A national serious case panel forbade the teenager for six games, two of whom were suspended, and required them to follow an online education course, while her club received seven disciplinary points, the Telegraph reports.
The panel decision was not made public.

In November, a 17-year-old girl with presumably autism was exiled for six games and found guilty of 'discrimination' after he had asked a transgender player with a 'beard': “Are you a man?”
A national serious case panel issued the verdict after the girl's comments during a friendly against a trans-inclusive football club in July, although they denied being transphobic.
The club complained to kick it out, an organization that stands against discrimination in football, and the provincial FA has sued her by saying, “Are you a man?”, “That's a man,” “don't come here again 'Or similar comments.
According to the girl, she had asked the referee about the suitability of her opponent because she was worried about her safety after several 'exaggerated physical challenges', while the civil servant heard nothing he considered discriminatory.
In a statement as part of her defense, the seventeen -year -old claimed that she was 'confused' because her opponent did not wear the kit of the opposition and was dressed in 'jewelry and sunglasses'.
That statement continued: 'The moment the player clarified that they were transgender, I fully respected their answer, dropped the situation and immediately shifted my focus back to the game before he sought guidance from the referee.
'At no time my question was meant to be offensive or malignant, because I was only planning to seek clarity in an unknown situation. Knowing now that the player was transgender, I understand that there were better ways to approach this question. '
The girl added that she had expressed concern about the risk of a serious injury as a 17-year-old girl who played against a biological man who was much bigger than me and a very physical player, which might have been a safety problem if I was me Did not want to be dangerously injured just before the start of a new season '.
Fiona Mcaanena, director of campaigns in sexual affairs, described the decision to ban the teenager as 'shameful'
Of the latter case, Fiona Mcaanena, director of campaigns in sexupports, said: 'It is shameful that another teenage girl was suspended because he has challenged the presence of a male player in a women's game.
“The FA has punished her for asking a question that is important for her own safety, and for honesty for all girls.”
The current transgender policy of the FA is based on a Testosterone-Ondruintkhodel and uses the final discretion about whether a transgender woman can register or not, so that they can manage them on a case-by-case basis
Blood testosterone levels must be within a specified range and annual hormone treatment must have been verified.
There are no transgender women who are currently playing in professional football, or on the path for the professional game of one of the home countries.
Former culture secretary Lucy Frazer argued that the FA should consider banning transgender players to remove 'unfair' competitiveness benefits.
“I think it is very important that women are able to compete against women and there is an inherent unfairness, that if you are not a biological woman, you have a competitive advantage,” she said.
'And I think a number of sports have looked at this very carefully and until the decision that it is not appropriate to make women compete against people who are not biological women.
“We saw that in rowing. We saw that in swimming. And I would encourage other sporting bodies to look at it very carefully. '
In a statement about this latest 'complex' case, a spokesperson for the FA said: “We regularly judge our processes in this area and we will always look to take the right steps to challenge incorrect behavior in our game.”
