Canada voted in favour of world swimming body's transgender policy. In a policy that went into effect Monday, FINA (the international federation recognised by the International Olympic Committee for administering international competitions in water sports) allows only transgender swimmers who transition from male to female before age 12 to compete in women's events. “Canada did vote in favour of FINA's gender inclusion policy,” president Kelly Stark-Anderson told The Canadian Press in an email Tuesday. “The values of inclusion and fairness are fundamental in international sport competition and to us as Canadians. We believe that this policy was thoughtfully developed and protects competitive fairness, especially in the female events at FINA competitions. -CTV News
