It comes after World Athletics announced a ban at international level.
UKA said competitions it licenses would be run under the new World Athletics regulations when they come into effect from midnight on 31 March.
It added it "appreciates the efforts" of World Athletics to "protect the female category".
The governing body - which contributed to the formation of World Athletics' policy - said it had received the "required assurances" that the sporting exemption in the Equality Act 2010 applies to the Gender Recognition Act 2004, after previous concerns.
That exemption states sporting organisations can discriminate on grounds of sex in a "gender-affected activity" and discriminate on grounds of gender reassignment where necessary to secure "fair competition" or "the safety of competitors".
UKA said its position is that athletics should "remain an inclusive sport" but it is "fair" that athletes who have gone through male puberty should be excluded from the female category

It's about time! It was ridiculous from the beginning, glad to finally see the first leagues reacting.

Not in the US it won’t. We’ll embrace this sanity in the name of wokeness and political correctness for years to come.

By transwoman you mean a man?
Headline should read: "UK Athletics has banned men from competing in the female category in its competitions and events in the United Kingdom."
I'm tired of this "transwomen" crap. It's a man in drag!

It would be nice to retroactively award women any medals they were cheated out of by these guys.

You missed an important point there-
These fake vaginas need to be kept moist, so they are attached to the bowels to provide them with natural human biological moisture.
Quite literally liquid human #.
