US EditionAlberta's transgender ban in women's sports exempts visiting out-of-province athletes
ALBERTA, CANADA, JUL 12 – Alberta bans transgender athletes aged 12 and older from female amateur sports while exempting out-of-province competitors, part of broader United Conservative Party reforms.
- Starting September 1st, Alberta will implement new rules that prohibit transgender athletes aged 12 and older from participating in women's amateur sports within the province.
- The restrictions, part of a wider range of transgender-related policies implemented in the past year by the United Conservative Party under Premier Danielle Smith, exclude transgender athletes from outside Alberta due to limitations in provincial authority.
- Mark Kosak, who leads the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference, expressed concerns that the new rules could prevent transgender athletes from competing in Alberta, potentially causing the conference to lose the opportunity to host national championships. He also noted that these changes were not requested by the sporting community.
- Transgender athlete Allison Hadley argued that the exemption allowing out-of-province competitors undermines the intended fairness of the legislation and shared that she would likely have left Alberta if relocation had been a feasible option for her. Meanwhile, Bennett Jensen, legal director at Egale, condemned the validation process as a serious invasion of privacy for all women and girls.
- The complaint-driven enforcement approach and planned grants for coed divisions aim at fairness and inclusion, but debate continues with proponents citing protection from biological advantages and detractors warning about stigmatization.
