Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer is urging sports leaders to prohibit transgender athletes from competing in elite women’s sports events.

In her statement, Frazer talks about the importance of sporting organisations providing clear guidance and taking a firm stance on the inclusion of transgender athletes.

While current policies of organisations like the Football Association and the England and Wales Cricket Board allow transgender women to compete in female competitions under specific conditions, they are currently under review.

Frazer says that the issue significantly impacts the fairness of women’s sports and stresses the significance of biological factors in sports.
