If you miss out on the AFL these days, I guess you can do a gender swap and still play AFL....kind of.
I can only imagine the reaction if this story popped up around 30 years ago.

It's not right. Still has male DNA.
In Springfield, they're eating the dogs. The people that came in, they're eating the cats. They’re eating – they are eating the pets of the people that live there.

It is ridiculous and dangerous.
Unfortunately the progressive left think that science (particularly biology) is evil and that quaint leftist dogma & idealogy is truth!

Re: Transgender in the AFLW to be drafted?
AFL knocked him or her back anyway due to the physical differences making it unfair that he/she is allowed to play with females.
I'll lose it if this turns into a high court saga that drags on and on.

I highly doubt they decided to turn transgender just so they could play AFL some people on here are pretty archaic acting like it’s such an easy decision to do what they have done.

Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.

Archaic and bigotry at the same time. Really open minded, aren't they!

Re: Transgender in the AFLW to be drafted?
Why doesn't the AFL set up a separate transgender league.
So many at AFL HQ would qualify to play.
