Description

The debate over transgender inclusion in sport is heading to court. Auckland Pride is seeking a judicial review after the Minister for Sport and Recreated ordered the removal of the guidelines for transgender inclusion in community sport. First published in 2022, the document asked sporting bodies to consider a set of "guiding principles" to make participating in community sport more inclusive for transgender people. But Sport NZ ditched the guidelines after direction from the government in July this year, also removing the document from its website. Victor Waters reports.
