Males in women's sports: call for evidence

[Mmmnotsure]

For Women Scotland Sport

@FWSSport

It’s Women & Girls in Sport Week and
@FWSSport
and
@SexMattersOrg
are undertaking some work to map the trans identified males that are competing in women’s sport in the UK.

Please get in contact with us giving details of the teams, leagues, competitions that are allowing males in female sports. You can contact us here or via email at [email protected] and [email protected]

Thanks for posting. I'll get in touch with them tomorrow

Any examples would be useful to the people gathering details. More information about the reach of the problem would help to strengthen their case to protect women's sport - after all, we keep being told that it's "only a few and anyway it doesn't matter".

A current example of the problem is given by Adam Hibbert who has been posting on TwiX about his experience of watching his teenage daughter forced to play against an older male in a women's netball match. He has taken this up with England Netball and says that they "lack much evidence of impact on women and girls. The interim policy, which invites those affected to contact them with their experiences, has had one response: mine."
