Transgender women will not be allowed to compete in the women’s category of British Rowing events, the sport’s UK governing body has announced
Only athletes “assigned female at birth” will be allowed to compete in the women’s category in competitions under its jurisdiction, or be selected to represent Great Britain or England at international events, British Rowing said in a media release published Thursday. Meanwhile, any athletes are eligible to compete in an “Open” category, while competitions can stage “Mixed” events at any level of competition, providing 50% of crew are eligible to compete as women, British Rowing added.
In April 2022, British Cycling banned trans and non-binary riders from competition, while the International Swimming Federation voted in 2022 to approve a new policy that will restrict most transgender athletes from competing in elite women’s aquatics competitions. In March, World Athletics introduced rules that prohibit athletes who have gone through what it called “male puberty” from participating in female world rankings competitions.
