New Zealand鈥檚 new bill is finding support from a women鈥檚 sport advocacy group.
The new bill wants to codify sex-based language, defining a woman as an 鈥渁dult human biological female鈥 and a man as an 鈥渁dult human biological male鈥.
It comes as Britain鈥檚 Highest Court ruled that only biological women 鈥攏ot trans women鈥 meet a definition of a woman under equity laws.
Save Women鈥檚 Sport Australasia NZ Spokeswoman Ro Edge told Francesca Rudkin the bill is a protection for the sex-based rights of women.
She says all it does is reinforce the urgent need for the likes of Sport New Zealand to prioritise and protect safety and fairness for biological women.
Edge says they play sports with their bodies, not their identities.
