I've noticed it's seemingly only men, at least on social media and similar channels, who have an issue with her playing. I'm on Twitter and follow many female football fans and reporters and haven't seen many, if any at all, offer an opinion on this issue. The few I have seen are cheerleaders for women's footy and would rarely go against a narrative of inclusivity. However, most of the male commentary, often in a terrible fashion, have been quite critical.

It’s a decent point. The people that have to be ok with her playing are teammates and opponents

We are all judgemental on here.

I'm basing my opinion with a bit of bias as my 15 year old daughter goes alright at footy and could possibly playing in the AFLW in a few years. Hannah is a solid well built human who would knock my girl into next week, if the floodgates open for Hannah who knows what lies around the corner?

So, you want height and weight restrictions for women's football?

Na, just narrowing it down to playing against women who were born female will suffice.

so if you had a son that was skinny short wingman and he was KO'd by a ruckman whats the differece? would you prevent your son form playing? That same risk is in the male game and is a poor example imo

I highly doubt there is a flood of transgender women wanting to play footy (and it wouldn't surprise me if there already was other transgender women playing that don't have the profile because they aren't built like a brick shithouse)

Dutchy wrote:Exactly, this is quite isolated and don't think any floodgates will open with TS's everywhere playing AFLW

The fact is she has an unfair advantage of having 18 or so years of testosterone developing a males physique.
The other girls dont.
Its similar to an athlete taking steroids competing against one that doesn't in my opinion.
