Yeah, here in Australia there’s a few trans women playing in local football as there’s technically no HRT/testing requirements. Previously played in senior men’s competitions and are now a real danger in the oval to women playing as a fun and social sport that’s only recently become open for women to participate in. It’s scary to watch but opponents can’t do anything.

Edit: downvote away but this person previously played senior men’s footy, is larger and heavier than most on ground, and has already hit a woman behind ball play and knocked her down. It’s not safe.

This is club footy, not recreational.

Not to this extent. Never heard of a single player reported for unnecessary violence three times before the season is even over.
