💨 Abstract

New Zealand is updating guidelines on transgender athletes in community sports due to criticism that they ignore the rights of female athletes and compromise fairness and safety. The existing guidelines allow transgender athletes to compete in the gender they identify with without requiring proof or justification of their identity. The update is in response to an open letter from over 50 Olympians, doctors, and sport administrators who called for a review of the guidelines, stating they undermine fairness and safety in sports.
