Transgender bloke thinks he can join girl sports team
The Australian Football League (AFL) has agreed for the first time to allow a transgender footballer to play women's football at state level. So men pretending to be women can now play on a women's team.
Hannah Mouncey, 28, who previously played at local level in Canberra, hopes to take to the field in the state of Victoria this season.
The AFL said it wanted everyone to be able to play Australian rules football. That is a fair statement but 99% of Australians believe male teams and female teams should be separate and that transgender people should not take advantage nor play.
Before he began his gender transition in 2015, Mouncey played for the Australian men's handball team. Why is it fair that a male with more weight, muscle and strength be allowed to play on a womens team. Transgenderism is now recognized as a mental health issue. Not to be celebrated, not to be endorsed, not to be championed but to receive mental health help. The person doesn't know who they are.
The AFL's poor decision means he can now partake in any of its affiliated state leagues during the 2018 season. This decision will ultimatley come back and bite the AFL.
In a statement uploaded to Twitter, she thanked her supporters - but not the AFL itself.
"I think it would be highly inappropriate for me to thank the AFL for allowing me to do something open to every other Australian, which the science and research has supported all along."
Science and research do not support transgenderism as it is an LGBT ideology. The only thing science says about transgenderism is that it is a mental health problem. You cannot change your cell, internal organs, this man cannot have periods nor give birth. This is sadly a mental health issue and the AFL need to take a stronger stand against this incorrect invasive LGBT false ideology
"These are complex issues and we are considering expert opinion, international frameworks and feedback from the communities that are impacted by our decisions," Tanya Hosch, the AFL's inclusion and social policy manager, said on the AFL website.
Australian rules football consists of two teams of 18 players and takes place on an oval-shaped field.
Players can position themselves anywhere on the field and may use any part of their bodies to move the ball, making it a more physical-contact sport, more similar to rugby.
Australian rules football has the highest spectator attendance and highest number of television viewers of all sports in Australia.
