a) dominating at the level she is currently playing at.
b) causing physical damage to other players due to her size and strength.
Coaches are using her very strategically, in that respect the circumstance seems to be not a pure test! I suspect this is not necessarily from the concerns I express, but more to do with Mouncey's personal situation or state of mind.
But will things remain like that as AFLW wages grow?
At the moment AFLW is not a living wage, it's barely costs+, but eventually maybe long after Mouncey's time it will be a significant living and I suspect at that time things won't be treated so delicately!
It's obvious the Mouncey decision isn't just about Mouncey, at the moment AFLW is dominated by LGBTIQAP, and so the Mouncey situation has some significant traction. But should that also be the case in determining the rules of a womens competition?
Money does change things, there's fair and reasonable then there is this,

This woman took up college basketball as a 50 year old transitioned player, how is that fair to some girl fighting for a spot in a college basketball team?
Eventually, there will be AFLW equivalents of that, and we should be very concerned about how the public reacts when it sees Mouncey on an AFLW broadcast next to your typical AFLW player. A 52 year old former male able to compete with college age female athletes, even ignoring the size difference that is just not right!
