Stop Male trans athletes unfairly compete in any women's category

Petition Details

I would like the government to make Male trans athletes, go into their own specific category, as with a Male physiology, the women simply cannot fairly compete, and this is fundementally wrong.
Even our gold medal winning ladies, will now not be able to challenge for gold anymore. That's not right.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Section 195 of the Equality Act 2010 already allows sports competition organisers to "exclude participation of a transsexual person as a competitor in a gender-affected activity if it is necessary to do so to secure in relation [...] fair competition, or the safety of competitors": www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2010/15/section/195

Deciding who should be eligible to take part in individual sporting events are a matter for the organisers, not the UK Government or Parliament.
