Transgender in the AFLW to be drafted?

If you miss out on the AFL these days, I guess you can do a gender swap and still play AFL....kind of.

I can only imagine the reaction if this story popped up around 30 years ago. :D

It is ridiculous and dangerous.

Unfortunately the progressive left think that science (particularly biology) is evil and that quaint leftist dogma & idealogy is truth!

If you don't at least chop off the meat and two veg, you're not fully committed. Go back to playing where you belong, mate!

AFL knocked him or her back anyway due to the physical differences making it unfair that he/she is allowed to play with females.

I'll lose it if this turns into a high court saga that drags on and on.

I'm afraid you've just done a "Nostradamus", ps. Of course, this is where it's going. He'll have the whole LGBTIQ+ community behind him. Watch the circus this now turns into.

I highly doubt they decided to turn transgender just so they could play AFL some people on here are pretty archaic acting like it’s such an easy decision to do what they have done.

Specially if there's involuntary and awkward movement.


Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.

You need to protect the ball handler to increase posession efficiency

+1

Archaic and bigotry at the same time. Really open minded, aren't they!

I wonder what the rules are if someone punches him/her/it in the nuts in the course of the game.
Play-on.

The more you know, the more you know you don't know.
When I was a young child, I knew that I knew so much about so much.
Now that I am old and know so much more, I know that I know so much about so little, and so little about so much.

Why doesn't the AFL set up a separate transgender league.
So many at AFL HQ would qualify to play.

Not sure why you're making a fuss, she was ruled ineligible for the AFLW draft.
