Hannah Mouncey is preparing to take the AFL to court for the right to play in the Canberra first grade women’s competition.

Under the new policies, there are now three requirements that must be met for trans or non-binary footballers to play in the AFLW.– Testosterone levels to have been at or below five nmol/L for at least two years prior

From a community football standpoint, the new policy states that “transgender women may play in women‘s competitions, transgender men can play in men’s competitions and non-binary people can choose which competition to play in.” “I cannot emphasise enough how much I do not want to take this step. I have no desire to play AFLW, and it is simply my hope that common sense will prevail and that I will be able to play in the AFL Canberra first grade competition rather than having to play second grade.

No.

No play with the men.

Woman have worked way too hard to finally have their own league. Sorry, but this time round it’s a no.

Ffs! You can't have everything if you wanna be a transvegetable that's fine but you cannot expect to be able to play sport against biological women it's just too bad. Someone needs to sit this c*nt down and break the news

That’s Harry not Hannah....

She has the Balls”! I mean !wait a second!

Some woman did play in an all men American grid iron team, and now she is dead, I can't remember what killed her.

Biological woman? Or just a confused man?

Gees she's got some balls

6 feet poo-ofs don't like things don't let him play he is a men just look at him her what a disasters this people are

I am not going to tell her no. She could beat the shit out of me.

The AFL policy for trans women IMO is now worlds best practice in finding the balance between inclusion and exclusion and finding the balance in fairness. I suggest other sports follow suit such as WorldRugby at the elite level.

What does the law say in Australia in regards to trans & gender diverse athletes? Can a trans athlete be legally discriminated against in sport? Yes if an exemption has been applied for and granted.

Hannibal you’re a confused man

Built like a man, is a man... Continues to demand he plays with women. Feminists? Nah, they only want the virtue points.

One can understand the lady's disappointment but the AFL policy is very fair. It's a medically prescribed testosterone limit which no other player can exceed either. They are being very kind by not requiring other female endocrine secretions to be on the mandate list.

HE might like being called a woman but never female. The word has lost its meaning because of mental idiots like HIM. Change all women's comps to FEMALE. fafl instead of wafl etc. Problem solved. HIM and others alike can play in their own league.

That's a fucken dude, i dont give 2 shits what he's taken or cut off to try not to be.....he's a fucken dude.

Go play with the boys! Instead of messing about like this

🤦

Sorry, but you got all the advantages of going through puberty as a man. Height, strength etc. why not try being the first woman to play in the men’s comp.

🤣🤣🤣 obviously not good enough to make mens team trying luck against females

Ewwww

I want to know Bec Judd’s opinion on this!

The rules aren't there to stop trans people from playing, they are there to protect the other players. Males are typically more physical than females, this is why they have such thresholds you must meet.

I have no problem with transgenders but let’s be honest here if u have male testosterone you have a distinct advantage in many sports she can not deny that.

Oh no not another transgender story. Born a man you are a man. Born a woman you are a woman. If you choose to wear different clothes and act differently that’s fine but you are what you are born

Poor Hank needs the rules explained.... Hank. You have a dick. You have to play with other humans that have a dick. Those are the rules of the game Hank. Abide by them, or play something else.

Sad he needs mental help!

This type of dumb culture war shit is why far right buffoons like Trump & the LNP get elected & the .01% get the policies they want to get ever richer. Ms Mouncey has genetic advantages bestowed by XY chromosomes that preclude her from the WAFL, it's DANGEROUS to the other team.

Cleary if it quacks like a duck, it's a dog.

Should ditch AFL and go host bingo on Oxford St.

Because of course biological men should be entitled to play in women's sport - no matter the fact that this then makes the whole notion of women's sport untenable.

The patriarchy trans movement alive and well.

Wonder what would happen, hypothetically if a guy does not make it in the men's division, then takes a few hormones, bla, bla, and then goes to play in the woman's division - would that be fair

Try for the male AFL draft

He’s got some balls trying to pull this shit on.

Built like a man , looks like a man. No place in female team.

This is a joke Hannah! Get real

This bloke better lose or all our daughters will be at a massive disadvantage in any sport. Ludicrous.

There are no chics with dicks only guys with tits

Anyone with eyes can see this is a huge boofy dude crash tackling women. Women are being undermined in their own sport by a man. Trans status or not, this should not be allowed. Common sense should prevail.

We are relying upon science for COVIDSARS2- same principle applies. It is called genetics - that science that says people are XX or XY with a very small number of genetic aberrations. Let the science stand. Emotion has no intellect. Opinion is not genetics

Shouldn't she be sueing the WAFL? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

This stuff is ridiculous. Hannah who hasn't had reassignment surgery, obliterates the women opponents.

I still say no to this a male has no place in a female team

He is a man.... end of story

How is Hannah Mouncey, a transgendered woman, being allowed to play women’s footy any different than a cisgendered woman of her size and strength (yes, they do exist) being allowed to play?

It’s all fun and I demand my rights until a girl gets a spinal injury from being tackled by a man. And believe me that will happen one day and turn this bullshit on its head. It might be a reason why women haven’t played against men all these years.

Its what the world is built on now. EQUALITY. ans INCLUSION. Can't pick and choose equality when you feel like it. Reap what you sow

Shut up fuck me self-absorbed

I’m not really familiar with AFLs policy but what part of the policy is she not happy with?

Disappointed to see this. Women's sport is for women. Trans women are trans women. That trans bit matters. Only a male can be a trans woman. The inability of trans people & allies to acknowledge and respect differences is endlessly frustrating. SaveWomensSport RespectHer ♀️

Form a transleague of no rules what so ever where they just do what they want on the field

....I hope she retires soon.

Go be the first woman to play against men, try that instead.

A dotted line means Jack and Hannah will attend their third-closest state schoolTwenty-two school zones have been redrawn for 2022, with some families designated to a school that is almost twice as far from home as their nearest school. Rule of thumb for politicians and local councillors: if an idea makes sense in the first instance, flip it and implement a policy which has no logic or practical benefit to anyone. Job done Who authorised such stupidity to be implemented. Why is it not as simple as distance from the place of residence to the nearest schools If they are the closest public schools to your house, you can go to them. End of story.
