Review how the rights of trans athletes are respected in sports

We call on the Government to commission a review into trans athletes’ participation in sports, looking at how to balance fairness and inclusivity, based on scientific research. Trans people face exclusion from sports at various levels. We believe this is a violation of human rights.

We consider that policies often do not reflect the complexities of gender identity and the realities of hormone treatments, leading to unfair bans and restrictions. We would like a review to look at the merits of individual assessments instead of blanket bans.

The United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) includes "rest and leisure" and participation ”in the cultural life of the community" as human rights. We believe that fair play is crucial, but that current policies can unfairly target and exclude trans people, particularly trans women.
