Navratilova: Trans ban means the ‘world is finally waking up’

The news that World Athletics has excluded transgender women from competing in the female category at international events is certainly a step in the right direction.

I have long been vocal on this matter, as I have educated myself on what the realities are for trans women competing against biological females.

The Women’s Sport Policy Working Group, of which I am a member, has looked at how best to include trans women and girls in sport without creating a disadvantage to females by forcing them to compete against trans athletes who have advantages associated with being born male.
