For transgender football player Hannah Mouncey, her dream of playing Aussie Rules is over for now.

The 28-year-old has withdrawn her nomination from the AFLW draft because she believes the sports administrators don’t know how to deal with her physicality.

“The treatment the AFL’s given me has been pretty s---,” Mouncey told 60 Minutes.

“They don’t want me involved, they never wanted me involved and they never wanted me to play.

“I think they would be embarrassed to be associated by me.”

Last year, Mouncey decided she wanted to play in the women’s AFL but she was rejected over concerns she was too big and strong.

She continued to train in the hope she would be reconsidered this year, but is walking away for now.

60 Minutes have approached the AFL about Mouncey’s case, but they’ve declined to comment.

As Mouncey sees it, the problem the AFL had with her is simple: she is a transgender woman.

Hannah was born a boy and spent the first 25 years of her life as Callum.

He was also an elite athlete and played handball for Australia.

In 2015 after years of struggling with gender dysphoria, Callum became Hannah.

In August, the AFL released their Gender Diversity policy, requiring transgender women to maintain and stay below a certain level of testosterone and produce data on physical factors such as their height and weight.

Mouncey says while she doesn’t have a problem with the hormone testing, but believes the focus on strength testing is unfair.

“I think the strength testing and all that, it just sells women short in general,” Mouncey told 60 Minutes.

“They’re essentially saying, “`If you're female, you could not possibly reach this level.’

“When there's so many examples of women doing things far greater than the limits that they're setting on trans athletes.”

Mouncey said not sure what the future holds but there’s one definite – she’s off to Japan in December to represent Australia in handball at the Asian Championships.

For now, she is determined to put her health and wellbeing first.

“I need to prioritise myself and I’d much rather be in a really good place and not playing football than playing football and be miserable and going down a really bad path.”
