Firstly, I'd appreciate the source of the quotes.
Interested parties can take the exceptions in any case and try to argue they are the norm, but that is just another example of misleading and deceptive behaviour. Talking about the 1 in 1000 or 1 in 5000 is not discussing the average punter is it?
I'm not sure Turner Syndrome even as a 1 in 5000 example is relevant as they do have X chromosomes but they certainly do not have a Y!
I'm not anti-Mouncey, she can play in the AFL all she likes, she is physically big and strong enough to compete with the men!
I never get a valid answer to a couple of very simple questions;
- Is it fair for Mouncey to be displacing genetically born females from a spot on a AFLW list?
- What sort of advice should someone who has a lightly framed little daughter offer their daughter about her dreams to become an AFLW player?
- Is this Mouncey situation fair on the aspiring genetically female athletes, what are they to be measured against?
- Is there no risk that in the long term Mouncey types will dominate the AFLW?
As a defense to some of the above questions some will come out and claim the female athletes don't mind. But it's clear in the current political environment they are not in a position to be able to publicly oppose it without actual risking their own career and welfare!
