Hannah Mouncey

[Thryleon]

I suspect you might get an argument from the female sportsfolk.

No doubt, but you can bet your bottom dollar that it wouldnt be descriminatory on whom plays.  All players welcome.  You might see a Hannah Mouncey playing forward for St. Kilda this season, but it wouldn't be because Hannah's status, it would be because she is 195cm and built like a house and can take a contested mark and compete physically with the others.

Whenever I start to hear all these arguments about trans women being real women and playing on the same playing field, I immediately think of Karsten Braasch, and the story of him facing off against the Williams sisters.  Ranked at over 200 in the world, and playing against admittedly younger opponents only freshly hitting the open pro tour, he was able to despatch both of them despite smoking durries at the change of ends.

Things might be a bit different today, and that may result in a more balanced match if a competitive male truly faced off against a competitive female, but ultimately it will silence the calls for trans people to play in the sport of the opposite gender.
