To ensure a level playing field in all sport at all levels - as simple as that

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.
