Guess how many teams only featured biological women before clicking the link.

Seeing Hannah in action really really shows off Hannah's mahooosive arm reach compared with the actual ...... players

The expression on her face is priceless isn't it Vovo?

SophoclesTheFox · 05/12/2018 08:13

I would like to thank Hannah for Hannah's services to feminism.

A picture really is worth a thousand words.

frazzled1 · 05/12/2018 08:20

Hannah tweets about being 'hideously fat', having 'no neck', 'fat cheeks' in recent handball pics.

No Hannah you are taller and larger in every way from the other competitors not because of eating too much etc but because of the simple fact that you ......

So true.

Two pictures actually, the lovely young woman in the hijab being loomed over by a person she hasn't the slightest hope of competing fairly against and the young woman in the photo of Mouncey playing footie whose facial expression frankly speak for all of us.

AngryAttackKittens · 05/12/2018 08:43

And no, Mouncey isn't fat. Mouncey is a solid wall of the kind of muscle that you need a Y chromosome to build. I strongly suspect that Mouncey is perfectly aware of that fact but is sexist enough to think that complaining about feeling fat is a lady thing that ladies do and will thus incline the ladies to feel more sympathetic towards Mouncey's physically imposing self.

It does not.

It's just the best sport there is, isn't it warsaw Smile

I used to play mixed teams once I finished playing properly competitivly and it's not only the size difference. There were so many male players bumping into me because they thought they should play a ball rather than the woman who was in the better position (and the better player). Luckily I can shout very loudly and I'm very happy to do so.

This.

It's no surprise that trans women have taken over the Iranian football team as women in Iran are not even allowed to watch football in the stadium.

Igneo
What the fuck is Australia thinking nominating this person for a national team?
Absolutely.

Policies changed, by stealth, no one challenged it, because the wider public across the world were unaware.
Big, big pots of money to support these changes.
HM has people supporting his actions, they all have.

I would really like to see women and girls boycott all events where it is inappropriate to have these kind of mixed events.

Unfortunately this would also be bad for womens and girls sport.
Seeing the faces of the women shows it all.
I despair.

And omg
I'm angry.

@snowbear66,

Things are slowly changing for the better in Iran

@Freespeecher I have been struggling to substantiate the fact that all of the other teams with the exception of Iran included transwomen. Do you have any other links to this fact?

Freespeecher · 11/12/2018 12:56

ForgivenessIsDivine

Rereading the original tweet it looks like I've overstated it and the tweeter was referring to the Australia - Iran final rather than the tournament as a whole.

Apologies, looks like I need to look before I leap.
