AFLW has blocked him from playing.
Fair or not fair?
Re: Hannah Mouncey - Thryleon - 10-18-2017
I back the AFL's stance here.
You can't implant two wings on my back and allow me to entertain the idea that I was born a bird in a human's body.
Sure that's an extreme example, but taking into account that people are born homosexual and it's not something you "correct" why would you try and "correct" gender considering you were absolutely born that way??
It speaks more of identity crisis than anything else to me. I would think that we might have thought of a better way to assist people is to accept the status quo, not try and change it, wouldn't it?
Hermaphrodites would be the only exception to this rule IMHO.
Anyway, thats my two bob there.

Is that a soccer ball Hanna is holding, I feel so inadequate!
She's clearly pre-OP.

Perhaps a more recent photograph would provide a better perspective:

I suspect that Hannah has been given an undertaking that she will be registered when her transition is complete.
Re: Hannah Mouncey - madbluboy - 10-18-2017
My take is that men play in the AFL and women play in the AFLW.
Re: Hannah Mouncey - LP - 10-18-2017
As I mentioned earlier, too much asymmetry in all this.
Pretty much every young male sportsmen transitioning to female could get a run in the AFLW, almost no female sportswomen transitioning to male will get a run in even a suburban football team!
The physical differences cannot be ignored, ribs, abdominals, hips, pelvis, knees, shoulders, bone density, it's not Even Steven!
Re: Hannah Mouncey - flyboy77 - 10-18-2017
It's a hand ball (European style).
She played for the Australian handball team.
Re: Hannah Mouncey - Professer E - 10-18-2017
My daughter plays football and neither her nor I want her competing against a person who has the height, weight and muscle density of a man. You can have all the "gender reassignment" PC clap trap till the cows come home - this individual has the physical characteristics of a male and IMO the correct decision was made.
Re: Hannah Mouncey - tonyo - 10-18-2017
I agree with the AFL call on this - some of the girls playing in AFLW are tiny and if we start putting them against bodies that have gone through a male puberty, the imbalance will be very unfair.
Looks like the AFL have declared this to be an 'incorrect disposal of the ball(s)'......
Re: Hannah Mouncey - LP - 10-18-2017
Hannah's coach came out and stated opponents were not scared of her.
On talk-back radio last night another person claiming to be an Ainslie player stated watching Hanna play was like watching Collingwood's Rene Kink play against juniors!
All I know is she allegedly kicked 17 goals in three games, which is a lot in Women's football as many teams wouldn't score 17 goals in three games!
So I have no concerns over the AFLW taking a conservative approach.
