The governing body for Irish dancing, CLRG, has ruled that transgender dancers can compete in categories matching their chosen gender identity.

This decision follows considerable internal and external discussion and legal consultation.

The ruling came after a teenage transgender girl from the U.S. qualified for the upcoming Irish Dancing World Championships, sparking controversy and calls from some parents to ban transgender dancers from certain categories.

The new policy reflecting the position on trans competitors will be voted on at the body’s annual meeting in May.
