I find it somewhat ironic that people believe doing a transition would be over the top and out of the question for anyone, like humans have some sort of common natural limit to how far they will go!
I'm not claiming this will become widespread, but even one taking a loophole to an extreme is too much in my opinion. It's a situation that can destroy a legitimate athletes whole career!
This isn't a debate about the equality of a bunch of kids playing in a kindergarten sandpit, but that seems analogous to the argument many trans-gender proponents take! The argument that we are all the same, and we should play together nicely! That vision of physical gender equality is Hollywood rubbish, there are no female detectives bashing groups of Hell's Angel in real life for a very good reason!
So I'm assuming that DJC's argument is based on the assumption that if the AFLW girls start earning million dollar wages there will never be a Casboult prepared to make the switch! History as well as common sense laughs at the suggestion that won't happen!
