Complaints about a TW who plays on a female team in Australia. What is also interesting is the last section which seems to suggest that TW may be allowed to play in the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand in July and August. Does anyone know anything about this?

Not sure how it works. Both NZ & Australia allow males to play in women’s sports. But at elite level some sports have decided against that, like rugby, both countries can’t offer a pathway to elite rugby competition for trans males who are in women’s categories at amateur level. It depends on the rules for football.
