British Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport Lucy Frazer walks on Downing Street on the day of the last cabinet meeting before the summer recess, in London, Britain, on Jul 18, 2023. Britain's sports minister Lucy Frazer has said all sporting bodies in the country should look carefully at their rules on transgender athletes competing in women's sports to ensure fairness.
Several British sporting bodies, including the Football Association, allow transgender athletes to compete in women's sport if they can show reduced levels of testosterone. In December, a group of British MPs called on England's FA to ban transgender players from participating in women's soccer, while global soccer governing body FIFA is reviewing its eligibility policies.
"A number of sports have looked at this very carefully and come to the decision that it's not appropriate to have women competing against people who are not biologically women." LGBT advocacy groups say excluding trans athletes amounts to discrimination and that not enough research has been done into the impact of transition on athletic performance.
