Based on the IOC Consensus Meeting on Sex Reassignment and Hyperandrogenism (2015)1, on data collected on Skaters, on discussions and exchanges between medical experts, sports physicians and other IFs, the ISU has established this Transgender Policy to define the conditions enabling Transgender Skaters to compete in ISU Championships (Rule 107, paragraph 1) and the International Competitions listed in Rule 107, paragraphs 3-14, in the category of competition that is consistent with their gender identity.
The term “Transgender” is used in this policy to refer to individuals whose gender identity (i.e. how they identify) is different from the sex assigned to them at birth (whether they are pre- or post-puberty, and whether or not they have undergone any form of medical intervention).
All cases arising under this policy, and in particular all Skater information provided to the ISU under this policy, and all results of examinations and assessments conducted under this policy, will be dealt with in strict confidence at all times. All medical information and data relating to a Skater will be treated as sensitive personal information and the ISU will ensure at all times that it is processed as such in accordance with applicable data protection and privacy laws. Such information will not be used for any purpose not contemplated in this policy, and will not be disclosed to any third party save (a) as is strictly necessary for the effective application and enforcement of this policy; or (b) as is required by law.
