The Government has softened some restrictions impacting trans people in community sports.
As part of National's coalition agreement with New Zealand First, there was a threat to withhold public funding if sports bodies didn't keep trans athletes out of grassroots competitions.
Sport and Recreation Minister Chris Bishop will now take a watching brief, after feedback from Sport NZ.
ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says this sort of thing will be difficult to enforce a blanket ban on.
