transgender athletes

A cricketer from Australia could be making history this week as the first transgender athlete to play in an international series.

Football’s world governing body FIFA and World Athletics will move to review their transgender policies, after swimming’s decision.

The federation’s decision contradicts a recommendation given by World Rugby last year, that said it did not advise transgender women should play women’s contact rugby “on safety grounds”.

Australia’s biggest sporting bodies have committed to implementing governance that supports inclusion for trans and gender diverse people.

Cricket Australia has made a significant contribution to gender diversity policy by producing a very detailed set of rules and guidelines for cricket.
