Hannah Mouncey

[LP]

Hannah's plight is significantly compounded by the fact that she was a big bloke. Had she been 165cm and 55kgs as a bloke, or even 178 and 70 there would likely not be the, understandable, outcry that there is. I guess a very crude comparison might be allowing Maxon Cox to play with elevated (above the rest) testosterone levels.

Hannah is not average size for even a man, and that is important.

Ignoring Hannah's specific case, forum posters deride my concerns that if a female sport becomes wealthy enough there will be males willing to transition just for profit. But the naysayers ignore history, East Germany, Russia, and China have proven there are no limits to what people will do even at a state controlled level let alone leaving the decision up to a bunch of capitalists or crooks!

There is no case by case solution to this which is implementable at all levels of the sport. This is why I think Hannah should be permitted to play AFL, VFL or any other adult male level competition. In those competitions she requires no special monitoring of testosterone or other bio-markers, whatever those tests may be even if specifically cherry-picked for her case, she can  to enter the playing field in her natural state whatever that may be! That is implementable at all levels.

In any case I already know of transitioned individuals playing local football, but equality only exists when that occurs in one specific direction!
