British Cycling
British Cycling has a two-part policy for recreational and competition:
Recreational Activity
British Cycling encourages Transgender and Non-Binary Participants to take part in Recreational Activities in the Gender they identify as. Notwithstanding section 3 of this policy, as there is no competitive element to Recreational Activities, Participants are able to take part in British Cycling sanctioned recreational activities in their Self-Identified Gender, without providing additional evidence.
Competition will follow the IOC policy with a more restrictive 5 nmol/L for at least 12 months threshold for testosterone prior to the member’s first competition.

British Rowing
British Rowing has a transgender and transsexual policy that states trans men may compete as their affirmed gender, and trans women "may compete in their affirmed gender in female or mixed-sex domestic competition by providing evidence that her hormone therapy has brought her blood- measured testosterone levels within the range of her affirmed gender or that she has had a gonadectomy."
British Triathlon
British Triathlon has a transgender that will be in effect through 2022 that allows transgender men to compete with men without restriction and trans women to compete in the women's category if they have undergone "hormonal therapy appropriate for the affirmed gender has been administered in a verifiable manner and for a sufficient length of time to minimise gender-related advantages in sport competitions."
In July 2022 British Triathlon announced a new policy that will go into effect 1/1/23 that says transgender athletes over the age of 12 will have to compete in an “open category” for “all individuals including male, transgender and those non-binary who were male sex at birth”. A second “female category” will apply only “for those who are the female sex at birth”. The policy will apply to any race that is timed or has prizes. The policy applies to the international level, including athletes who represent Great Britain, England, Scotland or Wales, and to grassroots level.

The Football Association (UK)
The Football Association's (FA) policy on trans inclusion in football says "any transsexual or transgender person wishing to play in their affirmed gender can seek to do so by contacting The FA to obtain clearance. The application will take the form of a confidential conversation with the applicant and details of the evidence that The FA would require will be discussed with the person concerned.
"On the FA's website it is stated: 'An individual’s sexual orientation or gender identity should never be a barrier to participating in, and enjoying, our national sport.' In order to meet that requirement The FA has pledged to identify the boundaries that prevent LGBT people from engaging with football and ensure that 'every opportunity is given to enable members of gay, lesbian, bisexual and trans communities to participate and progress within their chosen area of participation in football'."

United Kingdom Roller Derby Association
The United Kingdom Roller Derby Association (UKRDA) announced the appointment of their new Transgender Liaison and the ratification of their Transgender Policy (April 2014).

This includes safeguarding the confidentiality of trans* skaters, and ensuring that they are supported not just by the law, but by UKRDA policies.
The document has great sections and explanations, and is a good model for writing clear policies.

Australia Football League
Australian Football League created a gender diversity policy in August 2018 that uses not only hormones but also factors such as height, weight, vertical jump, bench press max, and more as indicators of eligibility. Because size is a factor in this policy, it is not an ideal policy.

Disability Sports Australia
Disability Sports Australia is the governing body of sports leagues in Australia. The 2014 Member Protection Policy has specific language around gender identity and supports the participation of trans athletes on the basis of the gender with which they identify, but encourages trans* athletes to fill out the appropriate Therapeutic Use Exemptions necessary for competition in leagues which require them.
"Disability Sports Australia is committed to providing a safe, fair and inclusive sporting environment where people of all backgrounds can contribute and participate. People who identify as transgender or transsexual should be treated fairly and with dignity and respect at all times. This includes acting with sensitivity when a person is undergoing gender transition.
"We will not tolerate any unlawful discrimination or harassment of a person who identifies as transgender or transsexual or who is thought to be transgender or transsexual. If a transgender or transsexual person feels he or she has been harassed or discriminated against by another person or organisation bound by this Policy, he or she may make a complaint.
Disability Sports Australia recognises that excluding transgender and transsexual people from participating in sporting events and activities has significant implications for their health, well-being and involvement in community life. In general, we will support their participation in our sport on the basis of the gender with which they identify.

New Zealand
Cycling New Zealand
"Cycling New Zealand and its members must not restrict the participation of a transsexual person in competitive sport unless this is strictly necessary to uphold fair or safe competition; any other restriction would amount to direct discrimination.
Cycling New Zealand and its members should treat a transsexual person as belonging to the sex in which they present (as opposed to the biological sex they were born with) unless this might give the transsexual person an unfair advantage, or would be a risk to the safety of competitors. Any negative effect of restricting the participation of transsexual people must be mitigated as far as possible, to permit as much inclusion as is fair and safe.
Cycling New Zealand recognises that consistency with UCI’s position is appropriate for international and national competition. UCI have adopted the “Guidelines on sex reassignment” adopted by the IOC in November 2015 – see Appendix 2. Cycling New Zealand will therefore adopt the IOC’s statement with regards to transsexual athletes and their status in international competitions."

USA Climbing
USA Climbing's policy allows any competitor to register for a membership as the gender with which the competitor identifies. If that gender is different from the gender reflected on the competitor’s birth certificate or is a different gender from that previously used by the competitor as a USA Climbing member, the competitor must provide to USA Climbing an objective manifestation (documentation or other evidence) that shows the stated gender is sincerely held and reflects the person’s core identity. Documentation satisfying this standard generally may include, without limitation, government-issued documentation or documentation prepared by a health care provider or licensed counselor. The health care provider or licensed counselor must not be the athlete’s first or second-degree relative.
This rule is subject to any superseding rule or policy of any applicable national or international governing body with respect to international competition, meaning USA Climbing will default to IOC policy for international and Olympic competition.

USA Cycling
USA Cycling released an updated policy in March 2018 that has different requirements for elite and non-elite racers.
At non-elite competition levels, a member may self-select his or her gender. Members who transition to a gender different from their gender on file with USA Cycling should contact USA Cycling to be placed in a class and category appropriate for that person’s racing resume and experience. USA Cycling may recategorize a member based on results achieved after a gender identity change. This policy may be used to either downgrade a member who is not able to compete in a higher category, or to upgrade a member who shows exceptional results in a given category outside of normal upgrade regulations.
At elite competition levels members may have the opportunity to represent the United States and participate in international competition. They may therefore be subject to the policies and regulations of the International Cycling Union (UCI) and International Olympic Committee (IOC). Read the full policy below.

However, USA Gymnastics aims to be inclusive of everyone and will strive to support the fair participation of non-binary participants, which includes, for example, allowing non-binary athletes to choose a gender category to compete in for the season. Meet directors should bring concerns to program leadership at USA Gymnastics.
International track athletes: Transgender boys or men are eligible to compete in the male category without restriction. Transgender girls or women who, in the next 12 months, intend to qualify for Junior or Senior National Team, those who may represent USA Gymnastics internationally, or those who qualify to any event where a National Team is selected, must meet the requirements for transgender and non-binary athletes put forth by the International Olympic Committee.

USA Swimming Anti-Discrimination Statement provides protection for transgender athletes. Its Code of Conduct says, “discrimination against any member or participant on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, and gender expression is prohibited (304.3.3),” meaning that trans swimmers can participate in events in the gender with which they identity.
For elite competition, USA Swimming says, "criteria (including medical criteria) will follow current USOC/IOC rules and will be clearly stated in meet information packets." However, the IOC removed its rules and defaults to the National Governing Body, which means USA Swimming has no current policy for elite competition.
