Comments on: AFL slammed after blocking trans player from women’s competition /news/national-news/afl-slammed-banning-trans-player/162964 Setting Australia’s LGBTI agenda since 1979 Wed, 18 Oct 2017 10:34:40 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.5 By: Dave /news/national-news/afl-slammed-banning-trans-player/162964#comment-599142 Wed, 18 Oct 2017 10:34:40 +0000 https://starobserver.com.au/?p=162964#comment-599142 There’s a hundred articles about Hannah in the mainstream media and with only one exception from my reading none of them are asking the obvious: does her physique give her a significant advantage on the field? From what I’m reading Hannah has some footy skills but her opponents are not worried that she’s outperforming them in an unfair way. Sure she’s a big lass but she’s not the fastest from what I’m reading, she’s part of the game but she can be beaten around the ball by more highly skilled women.

Like most of her critics, I’ve never seen her play but unlike her critics I’m at least prepared to admit this.

So much for their wanting to promote acceptance and diversity. They dropped the ball at the first opportunity. What a hypocritical sham the AFL’s lgb…T acceptance policy is. First they fold and take down that yes for marriage equality sign on their HQ after a bomb hoax. Now this. You had better not have any lgb…t diversity round this season after this crap.
