Stop Male trans athletes unfairly compete in any women's category
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.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
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.
