Why Hannah Mouncey wasn't picked for the world championships

Mouncey says: "I can confirm that yes, I was left out of the team for the World Championships because there was a group of players within the team, supported by the team manager, who did not want me showering or using the change rooms before or after the game."

Good on those women who stood up against being forced to share showers and changing rooms with a male bodied person.

Obviously Hannah is feeling a bit aggrieved but is putting on a brave face: www.starobserver.com.au/opinion/people-will-do-whats-easy-over-whats-right-hannah-mouncey-speaks-out/190555

I'm glad the team and coach have done what's right.

"the reason I’m not liked is because I told our manager, and by extension those players, exactly where he and they could go in trying to tell me where I could change and shower."

You didn't try to think how to 'be kind' as women are often told to be, then?

You didn't try to think of how you and the team could 'all get along'?

Obviously not, from the general tone of the article.

Apparently "you learn not to care" what others think.

Well, we already know that.

I’m really glad to see that the women who didn’t want to change or shower with a male bodied person were supported by their team manager.

I think the tide is turning, and hopefully women can access sex segregated facilities/resources/sports/healthcare etc without being accused of being intolerant bigots because they don’t want male bodies in female spaces.

This article is full of 'statistics' that have been debunked again and again. When will some journalists do their job?

Mouncey is not excluded from sport, Mouncey has been excluded from the women's showers and changing room. Good on ya Aussie women.

TerribleCustomerCervix · 08/12/2019 22:30

Hmm I’d be surprised if the real reason wasn’t that the remainder of the team didn’t want the negative association of having someone with such an unfair weight, height and strength advantage on their side, and having any potential success undermined by that.

Also at the end Mouncey stayed 331 transwomen were murdered last year? In Australia? Seems unlikely.

A group of players who didn’t want a cheat with unfair biological advantages in what should be a single sex competition.

RealityNotEssentialism · 08/12/2019 22:27

Good for them. I wouldn’t want to play against or shower with Hannah either.

Marcipex · 08/12/2019 22:27

Seems like sanity to me.

ICJump · 08/12/2019 22:27

Oh Hannah you ar a bellend and a bully

DeeZastris · 08/12/2019 22:21

Oh, what a shame. The mean girls excluded her.
