There are a lot of interesting contradictions in this debate.
For example, the arguments are aggressive that a transition athlete is equivalent or the same as their other athletes in their new gender. Yet those transitioned athletes still like to use and identify with the term Transgender, a label invented and championed to identify themselves as different!
I read an article a month or two back about an LGBTIA billionaire is funding Chinese researchers to "solve the problem" of transitioned individuals giving birth. In the meantime it's illegal for stem cells to be used to cure illness or re-grow a damaged organ!
It's hard to take the debates seriously when an issue like transitioned athletes playing sport is painted by both sides as a line in the sand! :o
Ironically, to me it would seem fairer to allow Mouncey to play AFL, than it would be to allow Mouncey to play AFLW! I realise it's a simple measure, but it's hard to argue against!
