Sports and healthy lifestyles as contributing factors to the right to health 2016, para. 58
Paragraphe
Paragraph text
Participation in professional sport is often deliberately or effectively denied to transgender people, and people of non-binary gender. There remains uncertainty regarding "classification" by sports bodies of persons as male or female within sex-segregated sport - for those undergoing gender transition through clinical treatment and for those who are not - as well as concerns with regard to the arbitrary nature of such classifications. The barriers that this presents to participation are unwarranted and unfair.
