Oxford students have staged a protest against their university boat club's decision to prohibit transgender athletes from participating in women's rowing competitions.The policy shift came after British Rowing amended its regulations to restrict the women's category to individuals assigned female at birth, with transgender and non-binary rowers directed to compete in the Open category instead.College boat clubs have responded with fierce opposition to the new rules.During a recent meeting of the Oxford University Rowing Clubs (OURC), captains held an informal ballot on the policy changes, which produced a result of 49 votes against the new regulations, with just a single vote in support.
