  • Britain's Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) has updated its rules to prevent transgender women from competing in national and inter-club female competitions, the governing body announced on Wednesday.

The Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) in Britain has decided to ban transgender women from participating in female events at its tournaments, aligning with the policies of the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and the Women's Tennis Association (WTA). This decision, effective immediately, means transgender women cannot compete in the women's category at LTA tournaments, including the Rothesay events, but they are allowed to play in the men's category. The LTA's move follows similar restrictions by other sports bodies like World Athletics and World Aquatics, aiming to ensure fair competition. The policy change has sparked a debate on inclusivity versus competitive fairness in sports.
