This week, the Culture Secretary urged sports NGBs to ban trans women from competition
We believe this:
- Goes against the principles of the new IOC Framework
- Is not based on scientific consensus
- Further marginalises trans people in sport & wider society
We say #NoTransBan

We think the blanket exclusions from various international sporting bodies we've seen recently are unfair, unfounded and discriminatory.
If you agree with us, add your name to our open letter: bit.ly/3tZIlNJ

Today's SCEG report is NOT mandatory for NGBs. Trans people have every right to participate in sport at ALL levels without discrimination; we will continue to follow our current policy, which maintains a fair and unbiased approach.

Did this course last night - it's FREE, takes about 20 minutes and it could save someone's life.
We encourage all athletes, parents, officials, coaches, promoters and volunteers to complete this course.
