Second-highest goalkicker in the competition this year, Skids (I'll leave to one side the irony of suggesting that she's not good enough when the main argument against her participation all along has been that she'd be too good).

Mate, if I put on a skirt and grew a pony tail, I'd win the comp B & F.

Skids, you'd pull a hamstring two minutes into your first game and spend the rest of the season in the team mascot costume.

Interesting read. I disagree with her, being recognised legally as a woman for societal purposes is different to competing in sport. Growing up male she would have developed higher levels of muscle mass than same age women. Just reducing testosterone levels (which she doesn't agree with that being monitored) doesn't reduce the physical advantage.
