Danielle McGahey has been named to Canada’s squad for a qualifying tournament ahead of the 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup
McGahey’s inclusion in the squad has already drawn criticism from a group called the Women’s Rights Network , whose stated mission is to “defend the sex-based rights of women.”
A spokesperson for WRN said the ICC’s policy to include trans women is “unfair and unsafe,” as they have a “significant advantage” over competitors who were born female. According to the ICC’s regulations, trans women wishing to compete internationally must demonstrate “the concentration of testosterone in her serum has been less than 5 nmol/L1 continuously for a period of at least 12 months, and that she is ready, willing and able to continue to keep it below that level for so long as she continues to compete.
McGahey’s inclusion comes at a time when several other sports’ governing bodies have banned transgender women from competition, with many creating “open” categories for athletes.World Aquatics to debut ’open category’ races for transgender swimmers in Berlin“I can’t recall a single negative experience, particularly on the field or off the field with my team,” she told the news outlet. “Everyone has been incredibly supportive.
“I’m very open about my transitioning and for me it is all about inspiring the next and the next, and going from there.”
