Canadian Women and Sport
Girls and women are underrepresented and underserved in Canadian sport as athletes, leaders, and decision-makers. Our challenge? To harness the power of sport so that girls and women everywhere can benefit, and to build a stronger, more equitable sport system for all Canadians.

New literature review does not support bans on transgender women athletes.
The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport released a new study called “Transgender Women Athletes and Elite Sport: A Scientific Review.”
This report offers an in-depth literature review on trans women athletes’ participation in elite and high-performance sport. It includes a look at the state of literature about the science of testosterone and its impact on sport performance.
It also outlines several key findings, most notably that the research findings in the biomedical sciences are inconclusive. As a result the authors recommend that all reasonable efforts should be made to make sport inclusive and accessible for transgender individuals.
We know that many people have questions about transgender inclusion in the current sport system and a desire to learn more. We encourage you to review this report as a way to further learn about this topic.
