Rivals and politicians are furious: A team with transsexuals dominated the women’s football tournament.

The fact that the Flying Bats team played in the women’s category caused a wave of resentment throughout Australia. For example, there was also a situation where a thirty-year-old trans woman, who was born as a man, measured her strength in duels with a fifteen-year-old girl. “Some parents threatened not to let their daughters board. The girls did not know what gender they would be playing against. There is a lack of transparency,” complained a member of one of the participating clubs.

According to foreign sources, it was a clear affair in most of the matches. The British Daily Mail reported that in the aforementioned 10-0 win, six goals were scored by a transsexual, who then became the tournament’s top scorer.

“It’s not just about fair play. It is also about the health of players who were really born as women,” believes Australian MP John Ruddick. According to his sources, in addition, the management of the competition threatened to disqualify one of the teams who did not want to play in the match with the Flying Bats.

But the winner of the tournament defends himself. “As a club, we care about inclusion and fair play. We follow the Human Rights Commission regulations regarding the inclusion of transgender people in sports. Transgender women belong in women’s competitions because they identify with that gender,” said Flying Bats President Jennifer Peden.

The governing body for football in the Australian state of New South Wales, where the tournament was held, also speaks similarly. “We are proud to be at the forefront of developing inclusive policies for sport. We continue to comply with the Australian Human Rights Commission’s guidelines that allow players to participate in football based on their gender identity.”
