UK says sporting bodies must reserve women’s sport for people born of the female sex

LONDON : Britain's sports minister Nadine Dorries on Tuesday said she expected sporting bodies to reserve women's sports for those born of the female sex, after holding a meeting with a number of governing bodies.

"Asking women and teenage girls to compete against someone who was biologically born a male is inherently unfair," Dorries said on Twitter.

"Today I have made my position absolutely clear: I expect sporting bodies to follow the policy that competitive women’s sport must be reserved for people born of the female sex."
