Another stunning and brave woman feted by the Guardian, obvs. They are so progressive!

Last I read Mouncey had returned to hand ball. Having previously represented Australia as a male, Mouncey is now playing in the female league in Victoria and has been selected to play for the Australian Women’s handball team.

Take pity on Hannah, she can't even open a jar of pickles these days.

Because of course the hormones will remove her biologically male heart, lungs, skeleton and muscles.

And replace them with sugar and spice and all things nice.

It reminds me of boys' rugby - there's often some outlier - a big pubescent lad who looks like they drove the minibus.

Clearly not fair. Yet who are we to deny Hannah her human right to hopscotch over the many actual women who would have been in her place were it not for their unfortunate biological disadvantage? Who are we to deny her her right to hurt a member of the opposition?

Also, it might be an unfortunate angle but look where the player in the black and white strip is being held, that will hurt.

It looks like the illustrations in kids' books of humans fighting titans or something

I bet the women on the other team laugh when they see her. She's clearly no competition at all

Look at their hands in that one shot in comparison to the other player.

I am a massive rugby fan and there is a huge risk of serious injury to those players in a tackle situation.

NotTerfNorCis · 31/08/2018 22:40

Shameful.

C0untDucku1a · 31/08/2018 22:39

Yes looks like an equal match to me

How very brave and stunning she is. Smile

I hope she wins Glamour's 'Woman of the Year' award. I can't think of anyone more worthy.

I'd love to get her on for a Mumsnet webchat to gossip about clothes, make-up, and kittens.

OlennasWimple · 31/08/2018 22:36

That's correct. Practically weak as a kitten now, obv
