The UK government’s culture secretary said this week that sports leaders should be united in calling for a ban on transgender athletes from competing in top-level women’s sporting events.
British Culture Secretary Lucy Fraser says sporting bodies should ban transgender athletes from participating because biologically male transgender athletes have an “undisputed advantage” over female athletes. He claimed that.
“This week I brought together representatives from major sporting bodies, including the England and Wales Cricket Board and the Football Association, to encourage them to follow the example of other sports in not allowing trans athletes to compete against women at elite level. I did,” Fraser said. I have written inside daily mail. She criticized sports leaders for not implementing government guidance requiring them to consider fairness and safety in such decisions.
“Sports organizations have an obligation to provide clear guidelines and take a clear position towards women involved in sports,” the Culture Secretary asserted.
“Biology matters in competitive sports. And when male strength, size and shape give an athlete an undisputed advantage, this should not be ignored. By protecting the female category , we can keep women’s competitive sports safe and fair and encourage young girls who dream of becoming elite sportswomen one day.”
Fraser said sports bodies could introduce an “open” category for transgender athletes and keep a “female” category reserved for women, so that “everyone can participate and no one gets an unfair advantage.” insisted.

Last month, a BBC survey found more than 100 top British sportswomen did not support competing against transgender athletes, but were unable to speak publicly for fear of being prejudiced. It was revealed that some people were worried about losing their jobs. If they challenge transgender ideology.
Demonstrating the taboo around the issue, the BBC reported that the survey was administered to 615 athletes across 28 sports, but only 143 responded to the survey.
Fraser’s comments make it clear that so-called transgender medicine is built on “shaky foundations” and there is a lack of evidence to justify imposing life-altering puberty blocks on children. The announcement follows the publication of the long-awaited Kass report. drugs and hormones.
Fraser said: “Among the many lessons of the Cass Review, it showed us that inaction is not an option in the face of the challenges we face.” “The situation becomes more pressing each time,” he added. week. ”
The culture secretary cited cycling and running, which have banned transgender athletes from women’s competitions, as examples of “positive progress” on the issue, but there needs to be a culture-wide agreement on the issue. said.
“We have to get back to giving women a level playing field. We need to give women opportunities in sports,” she said.
