Why Hannah Mouncey wasn't picked for the world championships

I thought it was interesting that the report slid over the "crippling social anxiety" Mouncey experienced.

I've no doubt that Mouncey's sense of some sort of dysphoria and anxiety is genuine and kudos (in Australia) to Mouncey for admitting that they have a mental health issue - masculinity in Australia can be extremely toxic and misogynistic (in my experience of living there for 20 years in my youth). But I'd have thought a really intense lot of therapy might have helped Mouncey better than taking all sort of artificial hormones, which clearly seem to make the dysphoria more pronounced, rather than less.

But the interview seemed to demonstrate a level of arrogance that suggests that any amount of artificial hrmones doesn't outdo social conditioning ...

Has not had. Ffs.

Jesus he is built like a brick shit house and had a penis...is he getting off on this?

He shouldn't be playing on a women's team full stop. What about women's safety....is that less important than the feelings of a confused man in a dress...?

Hemsworth is also able to laugh at himself, a trait that Mouncey rather notably lacks.

I haven't heard anyone talk about "chicks" irl in about 20 years. That's some vintage misogynistic bollocks, that is.

@CatandtheFiddle I thought he look like a sullen, out of condition, plain Hemsworth.

I've got admit, though, I don't want to insult the Hemsworths, because they all seem lovely.

That video. At the age of 25 years old "Hannah took drugs and went back into puberty but this time as a girl"

Ah, no. That really isn't what happened.

I’m not suspected of having photoshopping skills so I dunno. But, but, but. The deep voice. The reference to of course, always and exclusively attracted to “chicks”. It’s all so Titania McGrath.

I do find that if you share a story about women’s sport that includes Hannah Mouncey with her team, regardless of how Hannah is posed or the text of the article, people would think you are circulating a fake and anti-LGBT article.

That's hilarious. Do they think someone has photoshopped Mouncey to look more massive, or that they've just taken a random male athlete and photoshopped them into a pic of a women's game?

Those Little Britain sketches wouldn’t happen now, because those unlikely scenes are On The News.

I do find that if you share a story about women’s sport that includes Hannah Mouncey with her team, regardless of how Hannah is posed or the text of the article, people would think you are circulating a fake and anti-LGBT article. Including Hannah is just so obviously, obviously unfair to women wishing to take part, people can’t believe it’s really happening. It’s really happening. This is not a drill.

They wouldn’t be allowed nowadays though would they? The ‘boys’ could dress up in any hideous drag or blackface and get away it but the ‘ahhh am a laudeeeee’ sketch wouldn’t happen.

Bring back Little Britain. Or should they remake it as Big Australia?

This is just so bizarre. I have shown pictures of Hannah to colleagues, and they are just discombobulated - they thought I was joking and just couldn't get that IS actually happening.

Mouncey is welcome to wear dress/make-up, but remains a straight guy with a fetish (and a bad case of male entitlement)

Hats off to the real women in that team

Wrong emoji -😮

Woah she’s a big girl isn’t she 😭

Those images make me picture my own bones snapping like dry spaghetti if the lovely Hannah were to slam into me during a game. Hannah may fancy women, but obviously doesn't like us very much to be willing to do that to us.

Those images give me such cognitive dissonance. Mouncey looks like some of the surfer dudes I grew up with on the Central Coast (NSW). They did mushrooms rather than dresses though

I've just found the video where Mouncey talks about Mouncey's orientation, from 2017. I got the wording slightly wrong :) And Mouncey goes on to say that people don't understand that orientation is different from identity, so of course Mouncey still fancies girls.

From about 04:25

No, the "folded like a deck chair" was the transwoman who plays rugby for Porth (player in question also broke male coach's arm in training).

But Mouncey has broken an opponent's leg while playing Aussie rules football.

But all perfectly fair, safe, level playing field for all, inclusive, rainbows, twinkles and glitter all round, nothing to see here...

Mouncey shouldn't be playing against women. This is about safety and fairness on the pitch, not just safety and dignity in the changing rooms

Yes - is this the player who has injured several other players - wasn't one of them "folded up like a deck chair" by Mouncey?

Poor wee lad.

Not.

Thank you @stella47 I knew I had seen a video somewhere of Hannah making it very clear they still fancied the girls, very quick with the no homo.

I also remember Hannah tweeting praise for Iran for being inclusive and progressive with regard to transgenderism compared to Australia. Three cheers for Iran! (Gay men being persecuted for being gay not withstanding, eh Hannah)

Good for those women for standing their ground.

Anyone who thinks male people have the right to force women to shower with them and risk their lives playing contact sports with them is nothing short of a BIGOT.

How d'ya like them apples, Han?

I saw a lovely video of Mouncey wearing a dress, being interviewed about Mouncey's transition. The interviewer asked - so now are you into guys or girls. "Aoww, chicks, absolutely the chicks" replied Mouncey, like any woman would.
