Denmark: World Outgames 2009: Gender Identity Policy

http://www.copenhagen2009.org/Outgames/Policies/Gender_Identity_Policy.aspx
8/31/2008

Preamble

It is the goal of the Outgames to provide a sport experience where all
athletes are able to compete in a safe and welcoming environment. Our
priority is to find a balance to ensure that no person, regardless of
birth gender, experiences discrimination at the Outgames while at the
same time also ensuring that no person is disadvantaged in athletic
competition.

GLISA and the Outgames have worked together to develop a policy to
reflect this balance. We urge all participants, particularly those who
have identified themselves as 'transgender' in the Outgames
registration process, to become familiar with this policy.
