In the ongoing debate over transgender women and girls participating in women’s sports in the United States, New Zealand is taking a distinct stand.
The country, led by New Zealand First, is considering withholding public funding from sports bodies unless they prohibit transgender women from competing in both professional and amateur women’s sports.
The policy aims to ensure fair competition without compromising gender-related rules, emphasizing the importance of fairness and safety in women’s sports.
This marks a shift from leaving the issue to individual sporting organizations, with the New Zealand government now taking a national stance on the matter.
