Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to commission research as to whether male performance advantage in competitive sport is retained after gender transition; and if so, what options they recommend, in regard to the funding of men and women’s sport, to include the transgender community in competitive sport and ensure fairness for all competitors.

We have no plans to commission research into male performance advantage in competitive sport after gender transition. We consider this would be a matter for the respective International Federations and/or the International Olympic Committee and the International Paralympic Committee.
