Alberta's transgender ban in women's sports exempts visiting out-of-province athletes

ALBERTA, CANADA, JUL 12 – The United Conservative Party government aims for fairness by banning transgender athletes aged 12+ in female sports while exempting out-of-province competitors, affecting over 1,000 events annually.

  • Starting Sept. 1, Alberta’s UCP government bans transgender athletes aged 12+ from women’s sports, exempting out-of-province competitors, sparking criticism and relocation threats.
  • Embedded in last year’s suite of transgender health and sport reforms, Alberta’s government introduced a fall 2025 ban on local transgender athletes aged 12+ with an exemption for out-of-province competitors, citing fairness concerns.
  • The rules are enforced through a complaint-driven process requiring female athletes to prove their sex registration at birth.
  • Transgender athlete Allison Hadley warns she may move out of Alberta, criticizing the exemption for out-of-province athletes as evidence the policy isn't truly about fairness or safety.
  • Andrew Boitchenko, Tourism and Sport Minister, states the government aims to promote inclusion by providing grants for coed sports divisions where feasible.
