Skate Canada won’t host Alberta events due to sports gender law

Skate Canada says it won’t host national and international-level events in Alberta, citing provincial law that restricts transgender athletes from participating in female-only sport divisions.

"Skate Canada says it won’t host national and international-level events in Alberta, citing provincial law that restricts transgender athletes from participating in female-only sports.

The organization said in a statement Tuesday that its decision was made following its assessment of Alberta’s Fairness and Safety in Sport Act.

The law, which came into effect Sept. 1, blocks transgender athletes from Alberta who are 12 and older from competing in female amateur sports."

Biological males should not compete against females. If a boy decides to transition to a girl, fine.... but perhaps it's time for Skate Canada to have a 3rd division specifically for Transgender Athletes. Although I guess a trans girl would still have a significant advantage over a trans boy.

Skate Canada or Canadians has to be in BC, right? They already had one in SK, so we are now the only Western option. Western Alienation, what?
