The Government's changed its tune on transgender people participating in community sports.

A policy in the New Zealand First-National Coalition agreement threatened to withhold public funding if sports bodies didn't separate trans athletes from grassroots competitions.

After feedback from Sport New Zealand, Sport and Recreation Minister Chris Bishop says the government will now take a watching brief.

Save Women's Sport spokesperson Ro Edge told Mike Hosking that she thinks Bishop's been given inaccurate information.

She says a letter she received from Bishop wrongly stated Sport NZ's guidelines have exemptions for fairness and safety in female sport.
