最高法院規則跨性別婦女不能參加婦女運動

競選者堅持認為，允許跨性別婦女參加婦女體育賽事的“沒有藉口”

A landmark legal decision in Britain has implications for transgender participation criteria related to women’s sport, campaigners said on Monday.

競選者周一說，英國的一個具有里程碑意義的法律決定對跨性別參與標準的影響與婦女運動有關。

The Supreme Court ruled on April 16 that the legal definition of a “woman” is based on a person’s sex at birth and does not include transgender women who hold a gender recognition certificate.

最高法院於4月16日裁定，“婦女”的法律定義是基於一個人出生時的性別，不包括持有性別認可證書的跨性別婦女。

The decision is a significant victory for gender critical rights campaigners.

該決定是性別關鍵權利運動者的重大勝利。

Fiona McAnena, director of campaigns at the charity Sex Matters, welcomed the ruling, saying that it was crucial for fairness and safety.

慈善性行為事務競選活動主任菲奧娜·麥克納納（Fiona McAnena）歡迎這項裁決，稱這對於公平和安全至關重要。

“There are now no excuses for sports governing bodies that are still letting trans-identifying men into the women’s category,” McAnena told the PA news agency.

McAnena告訴PA新聞社，McAnena告訴PA新聞社：“現在，運動理事機構沒有任何藉口，這些機構仍在讓跨識別男性進入婦女類別。”

“The judges mentioned fairness in sport this morning. The law was always clear that everyone male can be excluded to provide fair, safe sport for women and girls, but some people claimed it was unkind or complicated to do so.

“法官今天早上提到體育運動中的公平性。法律總是很明顯，男性都可以被排除在於為婦女和女孩提供公平，安全的運動，但有些人聲稱這樣做是不友善或複雜的。

“It’s neither of those – it’s essential for fairness and safety for everyone female.”

“這都不是這兩個 - 對於每個女性來說，這對於公平和安全至關重要。”

Transgender participation has become a hot-button issue around the world as different sports try to balance inclusivity with ensuring fair competition at the same time.

隨著不同的體育運動試圖在同時確保公平的競爭中，跨性別者的參與已成為世界各地的熱門問題。

International governing bodies in a number of sports including cycling, swimming and athletics have tightened policies to effectively ban transgender competitors.

包括自行車，游泳和田徑運動在內的許多運動中的國際理事機構已加強了有效禁止變性競爭對手的政策。

US President Donald Trump signed an executive order in February seeking to ban transgender athletes from participating in women’s sports.

美國總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）於2月簽署了一項行政命令，試圖禁止跨性別運動員參加婦女體育。

Former British swimmer Sharron Davies, who won an Olympic silver medal at the Moscow Games in 1980, has been outspoken over the issue, saying transgender athletes should not compete in women’s sport.

前英國游泳選手Sharron Davies在1980年在莫斯科運動會上獲得了奧運會銀牌，他在這個問題上直言不諱，稱跨性別運動員不應該參加女子運動。

“I think it’s just really important that we can define what a woman is,” Davies told the BBC, saying it was time for sports bodies to “protect every female athlete”.

戴維斯對英國廣播公司說：“我認為我們可以定義一個女人是什麼，這一點非常重要。

“It doesn’t mean to say that we can’t respect people across the whole of society, however they wish to present themselves. My position was always one that, biologically, women are very different from men.”

“這並不意味著我們不能尊重整個社會中的人們，但是他們希望自己展示自己。我的立場始終是生物學上，女性與男人有很大不同。”

On the other side of the coin, trans rights campaigners said the ruling had worrying implications.

在硬幣的另一端，跨權利活動家說，該裁決具有令人擔憂的影響。

“Today is a challenging day, and we are deeply concerned at the widespread, harmful implications of today’s Supreme Court ruling,” a consortium of LGBT+ organisations, including prominent group Stonewall, said in a statement.

“今天是充滿挑戰的一天，我們對當今最高法院裁決的廣泛而有害的影響深表關切，” LGBT+組織（包括著名集團Stonewall）的財團在一份聲明中說。

“我們需要花一些時間來消化裁定的全部含義，並了解這對法律和實際層面的含義。”法新社，路透社
