VFLW Rd 5: Carlton vs Darebin Falcons

[kruddler]

There's merit in this approach but it assumes that the individual will know whether they are male or female before puberty and that may be asking too much.  I have read of cases where little Johnny or little Betty has known that their assigned gender is wrong while they are in their first decade ... but what if they have got it wrong?

It is Pandora's box of worms and I'm glad that I'm not responsible for coming up with a workable solution.  However, the sooner we move on from stereotypical gender classifications the better.

It doesn't assume anything.

If they are aware of it early on in life, no harm no foul.
If they don't know about it until later in life, sorry, sucks to be you, but we can't help you.

That way it is back on them, not on the AFL.

How many cases will this effect over the next decade? Probably none anyway.
