LONDON (Reuters) – 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.”
