You are a deadset uneducated, ignorant flog. So anyone who is of a different colour to you and doesn't identify as being straight is therefore ABNORMAL? Getting sledged on the field to put you off your game is completely different to receiving personal attacks from both players AND administration simply because of who you are. I don't feel sorry for you, I feel sorry for your children or future children spreading this totally unacceptable mindset you have.
Ever thought that bullying and harassment may not be on, regardless of whether someone fits your definition of 'normal' or not. This 'harden up' attitude in this country needs to be broken down, for the good of the mental health of all Australians.
AMA stands for Ask Me Anything. These sorts of Q&A sessions are very popular on sites like Reddit.
What sort of comment is that? If that's not representative of your opinion why bring up such a hateful point of view that adds nothing to the conversation?
I'm surprised an ordinary/horrible player who is/has been delisted hasn't come out for the $$$$ they will receive from the interviews about it.
Is that your opinion or is that psychologically proven by an expert?

wow.. how old are you?
It says in the post you just quoted that she's in her 50s.
You group those that are racially or LGBT vilified as attention seekers and use the word "normal" to describe yourself - basically saying that those who are of a different race or sexuality to you are not "normal". Do you not see how wrong that is? This is not about special treatment or putting those who identify as LGBT on a "pedestal" this is about people who are unfairly discriminated against who are speaking up to allow for a better understanding among the community and to achieve equality.
I'm sure by normal he meant the most common demographic in Australian society ie straight Caucasian.
Thankyou Jack for your question, firstly I have never taken and legal action over this vilification incident and have never intended too. I have always insisted I wanted education and better support programs for transgender people. As for Caitlyn Jenner I applaud her courage for being her true self but I do not feel vindicated by her change. Being a person in the lime light like Caitlyn makes transitioning so much harder for her. My first day as my true self I was the Superintendent of the Broken Hill Correctional Centre, walking into that Prison as my true self took every bit of courage I had. I wish Caitlyn well in her transition as I know from personal experience, she has a hard road ahead of her.
I miss read it..cheers
Thankyou borderline for your question, from my personal experience which is vindicated by the Stockholm Consensus, a transgender male to female person has no physical advantage over a genetically born female, my personal experience is that suppression then later on total loss of testosterone on top of estrogen treatment is a performance depressent so top line male to female trans athletes would be the a rarity. Trans athletes that meet the IOC criteria have been able to compete at all Olympic Games since Athens in 2004, to my knowledge I don't know of one transgender athlete that has even been selected to compete at an Olympic Games since the ruling in 2003.
Thankyou Daan fir your question, in my 16 years living as my true self I have never experienced a problem using the female rest or change rooms. I have a female partner and we both lead a very accepting life from the Broken Hill Community for every red neck in Broken Hill their are 10 people that accept people for who they are not what they are. This vilification incident has enabled a paradigm shift in attitudes to take place in the Silver City, I suggest Broken Hill would be better to be called the Rainbow City as acceptance of people of difference has taken a massive shift in the last two years. I get miners, ex inmates, footy players, bikers show their support to myself on a daily basis.
I am proud of people like yourself Young Gun and other people that judge people for who not what they are. I would rather anyone with anger and hate for transgender people to take it out on me not others in a less stable time of their lives. Anyone's brother, sister, mum, dad, son or daughter could be transgender, if I can educate the uneducated and gain more acceptance and tolerance fir people of difference my life would have worth living. I have lost to many transgender friends to self harm one recently a beautiful teenage girl who died for being brave living her life as her true self, RIP Leela.
