Snooker will review transgender policy

SNOOKER will review its transgender inclusion policy in light of a landmark UK Supreme Court ruling, the sport's world governing body has said.

The sport currently allows trans women to compete in its female category if they can demonstrate their testosterone has been below 10 nmol/L for at least 12 months, and then maintain it below that level.
However, the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association has told the PA news agency that policy will now be reviewed after the Supreme Court offered a clarification on the meaning of the Equality Act.
“Following on from the Supreme Court Ruling published on April 16 2025, the WPBSA is conducting a review of its Trans and Gender Diverse Policy,” the body said in a statement.
“The WPBSA's position has always been that its policy would be subject to immediate review should there be a change in circumstances.
