Britain's Lawn Tennis Association to ban transgender women from some female events

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.
