England chiefs ban transgender players from competing in women's hockey tournaments as announcement made

^{Published on 2025-01-09 12:05:27 - MSN}

England Hockey has announced that transgender players will be banned from competing in women's hockey from next season. The governing body will introduce separate female and open categories, effectively ending transgender participation in the women's game.

England Hockey has announced a ban on transgender women from participating in women's hockey tournaments, effective immediately. This decision was made following a review of the organization's transgender policy, which now aligns with the International Hockey Federation's (FIH) guidelines. The new policy states that only players who were assigned female at birth can compete in women's events, while transgender women are allowed to play in men's or mixed-gender competitions. This change aims to ensure fairness and safety in the sport, reflecting concerns about physical advantages that might be retained even after hormone therapy. The announcement has sparked a debate on inclusivity versus competitive equity in sports.
