Ro Edge: Save Women's Sport on Government tells Sport NZ to scrap transgender guidelines
Published 9 months, 1 week ago
Description
Hopes the scrapping of guidelines around transgender participation in community sport will pave the way for smaller organisations to follow.
A Government directive from National and New Zealand First has led to Sport New Zealand dumping the principles put in place in 2022
It comes as New Zealand First leader Winston Peters threatens funding cuts for sporting codes of this nature.
Save Women's Sport's Ro Edge told Ryan Bridge many will have been waiting for this decision.
She says most international sporting federations have moved in this direction, which allows national federations to follow suit.
