These are the UK sporting organisations who begged the UK government in 2004 to be exempted from the forthcoming GRA forcing them to include males in women's sports.

Some sporting bodies asked for anonymity.
Just take a moment to ponder that.

Every single submission opposed males in women's sports.

I shall add some quotes from their 2004 submissions below:

"Competitive badminton would benefit from an exemption from the terms of this bill"

Cycling Time Trials stated:

"Any future legislation MUST contain a clearly defined exception for sport. In the interests of fairness, we need to be able to enforce rules that ensure a level playing-field is maintained for all the competitors in an event, without the risk of being dragged through the courts and other tribunals"
