Yes i know this doesn’t belong on the Mens PL forum but this is where what i am writing will get the greatest exposure.
For those who don’t know the name Riley Dennis, “she” was the topic of much discussion last season.
Riley is a 6”4 man who was playing Womens NPL for Inter Lions.
Riley wasn’t the only player who appeared to look different in the NPL competition and Inter Lions had at least a couple of these players.
There was a lot of negativity surrounding these players and artilcles even appeared in the main NSW newspapers.
Facebook’s NSW NPL Banter Page was the main flag bearer campaigning against this lunacy. Many posts are still on their page pertaining to this issue.
FNSW felt the pressure and introduced a new policy regarding testosterone levels in players. The result - Riley Dennis has too much testosterone to play WNPL.
But it’s ok to play against our Associations 16,17,18 year old girls. An absolute JOKE.
It’s only a matter until one of the players gets a serious injury. I hope NWSF lawyer up.
Now, part 2 of this issue.
For those who aren’t aware, there is a club in our Association called The Flying Bats. Self-proclaimed “biggest lesbian club in the world”. As described by themselves, it’s a club for women, trans and non-binary players.
For all i know about being involved in this Association for a while, this is a well run, friendly club.
But obviously there’s a big issue here.
Last season the Flying Bats Premier League squad contained what looked to be 5 or 6 players who were at the very least, trans gender. Some actually just looked exactly like a male.
Not only is this unfair for the rest of the competition but obviously unsafe for the players.
Fast forward to this season’s team and it appears they have recruited a couple of new ones, including Riley Dennis.
So Riley Dennis can knock in the goals for fun and make a complete mockery of the WPL competition.
Seems to me that everyone thinks it is better to pander to the woke brigade than think about the safety and enjoyment of teenage girls and young women.
Is it possible for all other clubs to refuse to play against them? Just forfeit. It keeps a leve playing field for every other team in terms of results and league positions but sends a clear message that the safety and well-being of players is the most important thing here.
In the past I've always thought the idea of the Bats club as somewhere inclusive and a "safe space" for a marginalised section of our society was a good thing but when it crosses the line in terms of allowing players who physiologically have the potential to significantly hurt the opposition then it's just plain wrong.
I'm concerned about the safety and comfort of my 16/17-year-old daughter playing against not one but many 30-year-old men in a women's-only competition.
If he or any of these males wish to participate, they should do so in a mixed competition, not in a women's-only comp. Ensuring my daughter's safety and comfort during her matches against other women is paramount, and I may now need to reconsider the registration we've already paid for.
It happened again today. A North Ryde player injured in a clumsy challenge by one of the transitioned players. Not to mention the goalkeeper would not look out of place in the men's super league competition with their ability level, throwing the ball to near halfway and kicking it 3/4 the length of the field
Its great they want to play, but why are they not playing in the appropriately labelled mixed competition?
There shouldn't be a mixed competition. There is a girl's/women's comp so why isn't there one for the boys/men?
Pathetic virtue signalling pandering.
Its not difficult. You play in the boys/mens or you play in the girls/womens. There are no other genders so there should be no difficulty working out where you should be playing.

They started to become aggressive towards the girls near the end. It seems they get worse every year, I couldn't name one single person who support these 'girls' being in the competition.
Honestly wouldnt have an issue if they were fully transitioned but some of the players look like they havent even started transitioning and are just legit dudes in wigs, the goalkeeper especially, its just unfair. A lot of them are generally assholes as well, seen them play quite a few times.

If so the clubs standing up for commonsense, the protection and safety of its female players will be the beneficiaries of enormous support not just locally but nationally and internationally.
Wonder if Football Australia and Football NSW will try to intimidate and bully these clubs like they tried with participants speaking out against it a year or so ago.

To give you some background as to why this is happening.
Prior to the merge Flying Bats were part of the NWSWF Association.
They weren't even located in the geographical boundaries of the association, however they were permitted to compete as a "Guest" club under the constitution and regulations.
Flying Bats have always had their sympathisers in positions of decision making back in the days of the Women's Association and those same sympathisers are in positions of decision making within NWSF Ltd.
One interesting fact is that the Flying Bats have changed their official registered address to now be within the geographical boundaries of this association but still train out of Tempe Reserve.
Below is the permissible clause in the NWS Football regulations that allows this to happen.
5.2 GENDER ELIGIBILITY 5.2.1 In line with the FA Member Protection Policy, players may register and participate based on their gender identification.

Fuck me what a joke. I play prems, me and the lads may just identify as female now so we can play in the women's comp. Obviously it doesn't matter if you're transitioning or not, based on what you identify yourself as lmao. Let's see the associate knock it back when all of a sudden 5/6 of us say we're female!

It sounds ridiculous but you are absolutely correct. You and your mate just say "im a female" and boom you are playing against my 16 year old daughter. Laughable and an absolute joke

>Correct me if i'm wrong, but flying batts arnt from our area? they are from the city somewhere?
------------------------------------------
you are right they are not from the area but our association is the only one that will let the blokes play in the womens comp so they've changed their home field to be within the boundaries of nwsf.
If you're looking for "gutless" go to the Bats and you'll find a load of blokes who choose to play football against teenage girls because they haven't got the balls - pun intended - to step on a pitch with other men.

The Bats weren't even in top gear against Ravens, cruise mode it was.
One thing that didn't go unnoticed was that in the 2nd half the Bats 1st half goalkeeper was replaced and allowed to play up front on the field and there was one particular slide tackle which was dangerous to say the least and fortunately it didn't make contact with a Ravens player otherwise it could've resulted in injury. The aggression in the air from the same Bats player was completely unnecessary as the result of the game was done and dusted by halftime.
The fact that men are allwoed to play against women in our association is a joke. Puts all women who play in our PL at risk of serious injury. What world are we living in here ? since when was it ok to let men play against women. Its going to take a serious injury for anything to be done. I wonder how the fools that make these decisons at NWSFA would you feel if one of their daughters were injured by one of these gutless men who decide to play against women in our PL. Come play mens PL and see how youd fair against someone of your own gender
I wonder what the regular Bats lesbian players think of this. Their team has almost been hijacked by these men who in essence only pass to themselves and love patting themselves on the back after scoring endless screamers against young women goalkeepers and defencers while winning by double figures. How exciting

Transgender Golfer Booted After Woman's Pro Tour Adopts 'Biological At Birth' Rules
“Effective immediately, I have been removed (banned) from the next 3 NXXT tournaments that I already signed up for and been approved to play,” wrote transgender golfer Hailey Davidson last week.
The message came after he/she was removed from the NXXT Women's Pro Tour, who has now announced that participants must be “a biological female at birth” to participate in its events, according to Fox News and the NY Post.
Davidson expressed his/her discontent because he/she was already crushing the woman's field: “They changed their policy mid season, after me signing up already and being 2nd in Player of the Year race.”
The tour faced massive backlash after Davidson won a tournament earlier this year that attracted significant media attention.
NXXT GOLF CEO Stuart McKinnon said: “As we navigate through the evolving landscape of sports, it is crucial to uphold the competitive integrity that is the cornerstone of women’s sports.”

The concerns on here are real and dare i say, seeing as how its on the Mens PL page, the vast majority on here aren't even directly affected and the feeling is overwhelming. There is a big possibility the whole state/country will have eyes on this issue. Let's see if NWSF have the balls to do something to avoid the competition being an absolute farce
I heard that round 8 in both MPL & WPL will be inclusion "pride round". All teams requested to support and wear rainbow coloured socks. Watch this space.
I go out on a Saturday afternoon to play football with lads at the best level I can. I do it for me first and foremost, then for the other boys and also for the club.
I'm not playing for any bullshit political agenda whatever it is. So no, I won't be wearing any stupid fucking socks.

Teams playing against these sick individuals need to just not turn up on game day. Simple. But has to be all clubs not just one or two. Then the association will get the message. Otherwise it's just going to continue.
if the association does read this then they should hang their heads in shame and whoever allowed it should resign from their position and never be involved in sports again. Particularly as this association "prides itself" on women's football yet allows men to join the women's comp.
as for the rainbow socks, I'm there on a Saturday arvo to play football. Not to make a political statement. Shove your rainbow up your arse
Some real disgusting comments in here. None of you know what it's like to transition, nor be a woman born in a man's body! If you're all so tough, why don't you come down and speak to me in person this weekend!

The association will do nothing simply because their own regulations allow it and these players have paid registration fees and that registration has been duly accepted.
There are 2 courses of action an affected club can take and one is to forfeit against this club and cite the reason of player safety and the club has a duty of care to its members.
Last Sunday at the Ravens vs Flying Bats game, a NWSF Board member was present and a question was put to them on whether there appeared to be any players on the field that could be born a male at birth?
The answer that came back was beyond beggar's belief, "no, nothing looks out of the ordinary".
Of course this person is entitled to their opinion but so is everyone else and despite the concerns of clubs and players alike this will continue on without any disturbance for years to come if that is the way it is.
The day will come when a female player gets injured in a bad challenge and onto the field comes husband or boyfriend and takes matters into his own hands.
Not a case of if, but a case of when.
So competitions should be designed on what gender you are at birth, not how you identify later.
You can identify how you want, but it doesn't override the gender born at birth.

well, you weren't a piece of shit when you were born, but you've decided to become one later on in life so why is that any different ?
If I was the father of a teenage girl who was injured as a result of the association knowingly allowing an individual who was male at birth and therefore physiologically significantly superior to my daughter but still permitted to play in a competition designated for females I might be extremely tempted to raise a court action against that association for negligence or similar.

Clearly Mr COD you didn't appreciate my post relating to a conversation I had last Sunday at Christie Park with a NWS Football Board member.
If anything written was incorrect you are more than welcomed to correct any part or all of my post.
See there are 2 types of people who love to sit on a Board, those who have no idea what they are doing and enjoy the thrill of being able to assert power and dominance over clubs and individuals without the slightest pushback and then we have those who do want progress the code.

If expressing concern over player safety and fairness to biological born females is the definition of a bigot then I ride with that on every occasion.
As for sitting in the minority with this, if you believe I sit on the minority side then you are more delusional than I first thought.
One only has to read the undertone in your comments to see you are a Board Member Bully, name calling and threats of nothing you can do about it.
Probably right on the nothing I can do about it, but member clubs have a course of action they can take, up to them if they take that leap.
Glad to see in the association is in good hands, NOT.
No doubt you'll see me again, so please come up and say hello and we can discuss it further.

If you are so deeply concerned for player safety then why aren't you targeting females who are physically as big, if not bigger, than these transgender players? I've seen some absolute units running around soccer pitches going in studs up and injuring players purely because of their "size". But we don't hear a peep from you because they're women. It's only a problem to you when it's someone not born a female. So your issue was never player safety, it's the fact you don't like transgender people, hence, you're a bigot.

Mr COD,
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
One of the newest wonders of the modern world is if someone doesn't agree with a certain group then that person is labelled a bigot.
Never let the facts get in the way of a good story Mr COD.
Will you be labelling everyone a bigot on Wednesday night at the meeting for Club Presidents who doesn't agree with you or are you saving that honour for me only.
PS: If you aren't who I think you are, then you're certainly a nasty piece of work trying to implicate someone else.
Football NSW set the rules, based on consultation, the law and data. The bigoted opinions of an anonymous troll using five different names to have a chat with himself doesn't do anything except confirm him for a small man, scared of the real world.
Where are these extra injuries caused by transgender players? They don't exist. They never have. Where are the stats showing their inclusion distorts the comp? Which comps have they cheated to win? Surely they have a full trophy cabinet including some club championships? Nup.
The womens comp here is pretty clean and fair. As Cod has pointed out, most of the bad tackles and resulting injuries come from aggresive women at teams/clubs that don't manage this kind of poor behaviour. Bats don't even make the list. Show me the stats if that's wrong, otherwise pull your head in. I'd rather have the Bats in our district than you.

If you are calling me a bigot simply because I don't share your views so be it.
It appears we have 2 NWS Football Board members on here trying to convince others that their way is the right way.

This thread has blown up with originally about 99% of people outraged by whats going on.
Fast forward to the last week or two and board members are attending Bats games and they are also posting on here and are the only ones against everyone else. I know the marlin has a vested interest and is weak as piss at the beat of times so that makes sense.
The proof of this ridiculous situation was right in front of everyones eyes yesterday with a valiant Putney (last seasons Premiers btw) going down to Bats 1-5. Yep, sounds like a fair competition.
allowing Men to play against Women whoever aren't confused and are actually Women.
the Men's comp is mixed, yet they are allowed to play in a Women's only competition because they call themself a woman. How are you going to guarantee safety to our Women????
just wait until one of these blokes makes a dirty challenge or decides to push or shove one of the women, or worse yet young girls????? Because I know how 99% of Men would react if another Man touched his daughter/wife. Let's see you control that NWSF... Big problems incoming just you wait!

You're not a bigot becuase you have opposing views on things. You are bigoted because you unfairly dislike a particular group of people for no good reason purely based on the fact they are different. You refuse to accept the members of this particular group despite there being no evidence behind your claims that it is unsafe.
All you're saying is that it "might" happen or that it "could" be dangerous. yet there are no examples to back up your claims that players are in danger. There is no epidemic of injuries now that transgender people are playing in the association, definitely no more so than the usual amount caused year in year out caused by cis-gendered players.

------------------------------------------
I don't recall saying anywhere on here that I disliked a particular group of people because they are different, now have I.
You are mixing fact with fiction Mr COD.
If I have please direct me to it.
You seem to be intent on saying that because there isn't injuries then it's not a concern.
One of the basic principles of risk assessment I would've thought is to act before it happens.
Forget about what I am saying, surely you've read a number of comments on here from others.
Some comments are insensitive but there are many that have a genuine concern.
Either yourself or St Patrick said I was in the minority of this one.
Surely nobody believes that.
I only know of one person, a parent of a Young Matildas who isn't staunchly against this.
At the end of the day, if it continues on then the best way to decide acceptance is player numbers in local association Women's senior football.
If any clubs chooses to forfeit then that would be a clear indication as to that team's view on the topic.
I also suspect veiled threats by the association could be a deterrent to taking that course of action.
Ok so because YOU only know of one person who isn't staunchly against it then that automatically means you aren't in the minority? I would say the absolute FACT that people are still turning up, supporting, playing games, registering for the next season and shaking their hands at the end of the match means a majority of people have no issue with trans-women participating in their games. So yes, you are in the minority.
In response to the link/video. Firstly anyone getting injured on a soccer pitch is not a nice thing to happen, just want to get that out there so I don't come across as completely harsh to that unfortunate girl.
But seriously, if you believe that video contained an egregious tackle that is leaps and bounds above normal tackles you see literally every week in womens football then YOU are the delerious one.
If that was ANYONE else other than a trans person then we wouldn't have heard a peep. But all of a sudden people loose their minds because they see someone different and think "THAT MUST BE THE REASON SHE WAS HURT" or "THATS WHY WE LOST THE GAME". It's clutchiung at strwas at this point.
>Well if you have access to Dribl you will see that Riley has had no photo id for their 3 games
------------------------------------------
Ahhhh I heard something about photos being removed after last years chaos around them. Assume it's a safety thing because seemed like a real pile on from all over the place!!! But also, there seem to be quite a few people without pics across the board on dribl and other comp apps so not thinking too much on that one. Photo ID I assumed you mean to be a registered person you need to prove you are who you say you are, when I changed my name after marriage I had to show that change in an ID for my rego. So now understand you mean no photo shown on the team list? I just think the policies seem to be a little broad for my liking, why have a policy for NPL but not for lower divisions. Get that this is an 'open comp' but there are still kids on these teams. Also less skill level?

We are all told to check the ids of all opposing players before the game.
She doesn't have one. So how can she take to the field?
>the 'man' got taken out earlier in the clip and then went shoulder to shoulder.

------------------------------------------
The Inter Lions player fell because the St George tried to clear the ball and in doing so the ball actually made contact with the legs of the Inter Lions thus sending them off balance and falling.
Not even close to taking a player out.
On the other hand when the Inter Lions player took out the St George the ball might not even be in the field of play at the time and the force of the tackle which was completely unnecessary propelled the St George player dangerously close to the steel fencing surrounding the ground.
>Let me guess tge clubs have to all bend over to keep one club happy
------------------------------------------
Can't remember if I heard right last night but didn't another Club's President out one of their own players being transgender and playing in the women's competition.
Not the smartest thing to say because all it does is to have people looking and all players now come under consideration.
I wonder if this person really knew that their own Club President would say that.
I agree that trans should not be playing with girls, but not sure why you're attacking certain clubs or associations. The rules are set by Football NSW and in turn by Football Australia and they're pretty clear. https://footballnsw.com.au/2023/10/06/football-nsw-releases-gender-diversity-policy/ If you don't like them, complain to Football NSW rather than trying to bash the clubs or particular players who are playing within the current rules. If you're scared of FNSW and find your local club full of volunteers easier to harrass, maybe you should be wearing a skirt.

You said it yourself. They shouldn't be playing in this league. Some of them are MEN who choose to play against teenage girls. That is why these individuals and their club (for letting this bullshit happen) are being attacked

I had nothing better to do so went to the game. Mac looked pretty young. They played ok and tried really hard. Lots of pushing by bats, some spectacular goals and from where i was near the bats dugout lots of cocky comments. Gonna be an awesome comp this year
What do you mean? There weren't scores of young teenage girls littered all over the field seriously injured from playing against those big, mean man-ladies? How is that possible?! It completely ruins my argument if people aren't injured playing against bats! Rarrr I'm so angry
Anyone else receieve an email from NSWF via Dribl about a reminder of the Social Media Policy?
Never has such an email been sent through to all members of NWSF before and I have a reliable source that the reason why this email was sent was due to the posts coming from this forum and how this forum is tarnishing the reputation of NWSF, it's stance on transgender players and transphobia/homophobia that they appear to be observing from this discussion.
It's very clear that NWSF has a hard-line stance on this and it's frankly disappointing. That email goes to show that there is no room for a counter argument conversation or tolerance for any other opinion that isn't their own.
And it's a bad response in relation to women's safety which they simply don't care about.
More than that, it's sets a dangerous precedent that if you don't agree, you put up or shut up. Bumped into a ref a few weeks ago and he stated he won't referee Bats because of this. But hey, he can't let the powers to be know about that in case there's reprecussions.
That's the world we live in now. Players, coaches, refs all told to get on the Progress Train or else face Tribunal.
Well I'm not registered to any club. I'm not a player, coach or club member. I was in the past but now I just watch the occasional PL game.
So if they don't like my views on this they can kiss my arse because they sure as hell can't sanction me or my club as I don't have one.
If they want to ruin the sporting integrity of the womens competition and put the safety of young girls at risk just so they can be pander to the woke elite they can fuck off.
By the way I thought I'd check out the Bats photo on twitter/X to see who the five blokes were and I've narrowed it down to about a dozen of them.
More free publicity for the NWS Football association this morning with Ben Fordham and Ray Hadley reporting the current situation on transgender players playing in the competitions.
I wonder how some people are going to feel at NWS Football when they are named and quoted on what they said at the Meeting held back on Wednesday 20th March.
Does Mixed meant - men, people identifying as men/women/trans/gay/etc non binary non hexadecimal. For Women - they even labelled it further as female. why?
The reality is there's no good kicking and screaming because we know NWSF won't do anything about this. It's up to players, referees and coaches to come together and end this farce.
It's as simple as that. Nothing will happen otherwise

Completely agree, people outside of football have gone into bat for the clubs, it's now up to the clubs to walk through that door and take up the fight.
If they do they will have enormous backing from many many outside of football which is clearly obvious now by those highlighting this through the media.
10/11 of the WPL team are biological women. Some of them are actually very good players. Take the best 4/5 WOMEN from the AA1 team and you have a strong AA1 team.
The 6 or so transgender players along with im presuming other transgender players throughout their club can play Mixed All-age.
Then everyone would be happy. Or is it simply a case of Bats taking the piss and trying to get an unfair advantage?

Putting aside the transgender player issue, the dialogue at the meeting of the 20th from the NWS Football Chair of the Board is unbecoming of someone in that position and he should resign as to the other Board members who no doubt endorsed his comments.
Reading the news articles, the Bats reckon these blokes should play in the women's league because they identify as women.
Can I suggest that to protect our girls, every Sunday morning our PL lads wake up with a strange feeling that they now identify as women, go out and play against the Bats - remember they are allowed to because it's how they identify at that point in time - and put double figures on them. Maybe even dish out a few tackles as well.
Then on Monday they can wake up and identify as men again.
Seems to meet the criteria the Bats are playing by.....

There is no official word from the referees association around this issue. My days as a PL referee are long gone but this came up on the news and my daughter who was thinking of playing Women’s PL thought of playing this year but has opted out. Thought there would be talk on this place and I wasn’t disappointed.
I cannot be the only referee who feels uncomfortable of this whole debate and I spoke to a referee committee member and he privately admitted that this whole thing is simply ludicrous
I have been told during a referees training session this week that referees had to be mindful of transphobic and homophobic comments made on and off the football field and to sanction it appropriately. There was no official word or position that the referees association has made.
When I then asked this committee member whether there would be repercussions of referees opting out from officiating matches where they don’t feel comfortable refereeing teams like Flying Bats that have majority transgender players, the response I received was ‘there is no official statement about this but I’m sure it will be spoken about at the next referees meeting’.
Referees at the forefront of their roles have to ensure that they protect player safety as an utmost imperative. They simply cannot do this when you have a team like the Flying Bats who have 50% and more of transgender players.
And one cannot simply play the diversity and inclusion card as an excuse to allow this to continue.
If anything it shows that this is not about Inclusion but Flying Bats bending any rule to ensure that they win at all costs.
They can play in the Mixed Comp in the lowest division and still compete without impacting all other women that they come across. But no, this is about sending a message to the rest of the competition that you have to accept us otherwise we will tarnish any reputation you have.
It’s a dangerous line that we are allowing here. What’s to say we don’t simply allow any given person to ‘be transitioning’ and for more women to be hurt in the process.
Clear communication needs to be sent through from the association because at the moment and with the leaked audio, people will forever post anonymously or hold secret conversations so they don’t lose their livelihoods.
I know people will label me an old 1980s skeleton that needs to get with the times but this seems like a running joke that hasn’t been ended yet.
I was at the game last Sunday and if anything it was pretty clear Grant was too lenient towards bats and wasn't pulling up many fouls from them. Maybe he was scared about getting in trouble? One bats player repeated fouled/pushed a Mac player and finally he booked the bats player to ironic cheers from the crown. The Mac player was then substituted. Obviously it was deemed unsafe for her
The list is long as to who recorded and leaked the audio but don't for one minute think that it wasn't by someone on a committee or a Board member itself who isn't in agreement with the policy itself.
So this club and our Association have been dragged through the mud. Ray Hadley, Ben Fordham, Daily Telegraph, numerous Facebook articles and posts, social commentary even from USA.
99.99% in agreement on the issue.
Will anything happen? Nah
1. The Association are in complete denial and are gutless
2 The club appear to actually enjoy winning this way.
P.S. I particularly love the FB post on one of those alphabet sites with rainbow flags where it talks about the success of Bats and notes all the other teams should "train a bit harder"
I love how this thread is the most discussed on the mens forum page and a non discussion on the females.
Is there any evidence that the girls playing have a problem or is it just the blokes winging who would otherwise not give 2 fucks about women's football.
Personally i don't think they should be playing in the comp but what do the girls who are playing actually think?

------------------------------------------
1st Sentence - This has always been the Mens Premier League forum. So up until last year this was 99% men contributing. And even with the Women PL section included from last year, my guesses are that the PL lads that watch their partners play contribute majority wise there.
I do think there are some women who are not happy with the situation but it's the fathers/partners of these girls that have taken the voice to the people. You don't have WPL reps holding secret meetings if the majority of their team were okay with the whole situation.
I coach a team in WPL. 13 of my players don't want to play against Bats. 3 or 4 more clubs have similar feelings. I know this for a fact
------------------------------------------
Another important point to remember is at the meeting of the 20th held at Christie Park, St Pats informed the meeting that as a direct result of transgender players playing for Flying Bats their players do not wish to play against them and have withdrawn both of their nominated teams from the competitions.
Pretty powerful indication that is that their female players don't feel safe.
So the media were reporting that NWSF are going to again hold another meeting about this. Is there any truth to this? because Round 1 is next week and so if you have teams planning to pull out, now is the time for NWSF to address it
>So the media were reporting that NWSF are going to again hold another meeting about this. Is there any truth to this? because Round 1 is next week and so if you have teams planning to pull out, now is the time for NWSF to address it
------------------------------------------
No further meeting, just the one that NWS Football scheduled back on the 20th.
So basically from that meeting on 20th March, there will be no further look into this?
so Bats will play with their 5 players for the rest of the season and nothing more will be said?
Wouldn't be surprised if someone tips the media of where Bats play in their first game of the season and have coverage/talking to spectators on how they feel about it.
Can also see the refs association and someone has already posted about it, start to give more cards for transphobia behaviour that's non existent. Can see refs favour Bats because a wrong decision against them will be considered transphobic. Can see clubs forfeiting games and even last minute requests to be put a division down. Can see this whole thing turn very ugly.
NWSF will hope that this loses attention and everyone moves on.

You bet your arse the media will be at their games. Guaranteed.
They will hound them. At least until the club do the right thing
The association is considering playing all Flying Bats Premier League games at Christie Park with entry to the ground restricted only to players, coaches, managers and immediate family.
With that will come hired security to ensure that is the case.
Last season Inter Lions who had a transgender player playing were responsible for having security guards on the entrance points of Majors Bay Reserve Concord but also had NSW Policers from Burwood Area Local Command present as well.

Wont cost them much. they wont be playing to many games
It's ludicrous! I miss the old days! Remember when women couldn't vote and you could slap an ass without getting told off. Now all these gayboys want to play sport?! What's next?! What a shambles
All member clubs need to take a stand against this assocaition and it's board members... every single one of them needs to go. Most other assosciations are miles ahead of ours and this situation is now turning it into an even bigger circus. It's just embarrasing...
Mens and Womens PL teams as a start must petition the board and threaten to forfeit all games until this blight on our code is removed or just withdraw from the comp all together...
It's imminently clear that 99% of people feel this way but are too scared to speak against it.. Well the good news is that the tide is turning... The woke continue to shoot themselves in the foot and people are becoming less and less tolerant to their non-sensical idealogy.
We need STRONG men, we're going down a dark path. This is not progression, this is REGRESSION... If you're reading this and you are in a position to create influence I must remind you, there's more important things than park football...

If this is true it means the Association is just digging themselves deeper and deeper. So every club loses a home game and Bats get to play every game at CP.
How is that fair. The Association continues to take it up the arse (perhaps literally) from this club. What an embarrassment they all are
There's a couple of things that I've heard is going on
One of the club's knows a high profile lawyer and seeking legal advice about whether there can be legal grounds to gap into if there is solid evidence of increased of injuries directly resulting from teams playing against Bats.
Second bit of legal advice this club is seeking is the counter defence argument when (not if) their club chooses to forfeit their second round of matches against Bats (not just about player safety but essentially cheating).
Third bit of legal advice is around the protection of free speech and the threats NWSF lashed out to club's and members around the whole social media policy.
A reputable referee of the association was brought into the discussion to then talk about the refs associations position which there has been no official word about a particular stance. To quote what was mentioned from the president of the refs association 'referees need to ensure they deal with transphobic comments in the same way as they would with racist and homophobic comments (I.e. send them off for abusive language). There was a discussion around the subjectivity of what constitutes as transphobic and what is abusive as it was noted the terrible inconsistencies we see on a normal week to week basis from referees around what any given ref thinks constitutes abusive.
It was asked whether a player hypothetically said the phrase 'how are we supposed to play against a team like that'; whether such a statement could have a player sent off. The answer to this was highly probable.
The discussion around who could be liable if a class action was taken. Would the referee be held liable due his/her responsibility to protect player safety? No definite answer was given. There have been examples in the early 2000s where a player wore jewellery and lost his finger in an incident and the referee was held liable. This would need to be explored in case NWSF redirect legal action responsibility to the referees association.
As of today, it is of the belief that NWSF will allow Bats to play with possibly 8 transgender players. No club's have yet to pull out altogether from the comp and Bats will be playing at Peel Park on Sunday 3pm against Ravens.
Can someone from the association explain why, whatever number of years ago, a decision was taken to have a men's league and a women's league? On what grounds was this decision taken?
Can someone from the association then explain why the decision was taken for what is essentially the men's league to be called "mixed"? On what grounds was this decision taken?
Thirdly, can someone from the association explain why, having given their response to the first two questions, they now see no issue with a team that is potentially predominantly made up of men playing in the women's league.
Finally, I hope each and every one of you gets dragged through the mud and ripped to pieces by the media for putting your bullshit woke agenda ahead of any concerns about player safety and fairness and integrity of competition. Bunch of fucking virtue signalling weasels.

Let's not forget that Beecroft also has a transgender player playing there if we are to accept what the Beecroft President stated at the meeting of the 20th.
Great job outing one of your own, bet the player in question is thrilled to bits.
As for what was said in an earlier post about the media being at grounds, I have no doubt in the world they will be and will want to film but if the Premier League Flying Bats fixtures are played at Christie Park then access might be a bit more difficult to do so.
This week if Peel Park still remains as the venue, there is plenty of good viewing spots on the western side of the ground and no electric fencing either to keep the unwanted out.
TBH i fear we are veering into dangerous territory trying to out players. The policy is my issue, that it allows them to play in the first place. There are alot of people who just dont agree with trans-ness in and out of sport. So let's not go looking for people and ID'ing them because that's where it does become a safety risk to them as well during and not during games. Let's get the executives to make change, not personal attack? The injury convo seems to fall a little flat, the broken leg mentioned in the audio didnt say the bats player was trans and me tioned a clumsy tackle? I think there are inherent advantages men have over women, but surely a decent policy manages these risks?
I think there are a couple of things that need to be identified:
1. What are the requirements that NWSF have on allowing someone that is transgendered to play in the women's competition? If the rumours were true last season of Riley Dennis not being allowed in the NPL competition due to having too much testosterone levels in his body then are the same measures being used for all transgender players playing for Bats this season? Or is the margin 'that they simply identify as a woman'. If it's the latter then NWSF will need to put measures in place that smart-ass halfwits playing in Men's PL don't go 'identifying as women' to stir the pot for the sake of stirring a pot. However, if it is in relation to testestrone levels - then has Riley managed to keep his levels at an acceptable level? If so, there is a duty of care from medical professionals that need to be thought through to ensure he's not harming himself for the sake of allowing himself to play. And that's not just for Riley, that's for any transgender player.
Everyone is talking about the well-being and safety of all the other girls in other teams but we should also think through what impact these players are putting themselves through to allow themselves to play.
2. What are the clear directives from NWSF and FNSW around how many transgender players can play in a team? If we had a full team that were transgendered (from female to male), is that okay in the eyes of power's to be? Where's the line; if there is a line?
3. Have the Bats taken advantage of the transgender rule to allow themselves to win the premiership by 'stacking the deck'? Is this really about embracing diversity/inclusion?
4. If referees have been asked to clamp down harder on abusive language particularly towards transgender players and more broadly The Bats then what does that look like? If we see discord between two teams arguing about this issue, does the referee abandon the game because the game is in disrepute? Does all crowd chanting get reporting more hard-line for Bat's games because of the sensitive nature of this whole dilemma? What is deemed to be transphobic? How will referee's protect player safety when Bats play?
5. Will there be a Pride Round as rumoured half way through the season? If players and teams don't participate (particularly the direct players/team that plays against Bats), will NWSF sanction heavily? Will referee's be forced to sanction on the pitch (similar to 2022 WC when England were told that they would be sanctioned wearing the armbands).
6. Will clubs, representative's or vested interests in the game continue to leak to the media around the surrounding updates about this dilemma throughout the season? What's the end goal for everyone? Is it simply to get the board to admit they were wrong and to change or are people wanting to use this as an opportunity to wipe the whole board and start over again?
7. Will clubs that are genuinely concerned about women's safety, force their younger players to play in a different division to ensure their safety doesn't get impacted more than the average Jo playing?
8. Can NWSF force only players, coaches/officials and only close family to come to Bats games if they do indeed decide to move all Bats games to Christie Park? How can that legitimately be policed?
9. When will an official communication around this whole dilemma be sent through to all members? Every person and their dog now knows about what is happening and Im sure majority are wondering whether anything is happening from it. Just say something. Even if it is 'we stand by our original decision to allow this to continue and things will proceed as normal for Round 1'. Even that is better than nothing.
10. How big can this become? If nothing happens and media do pester this and this forum continues to engage in this in the way it has, could this be the leading international headline around what western society does with allowing transgender players to play women's sport?
Go woke, go broke...eventually this will backfire on them and have egg on their faces!
If more biological female players and many of the families and supporters of the various clubs make noise of this...good luck NSWF, you can't just shut everyone up if it is a truthful and logical concern being brought to important attention regarding fairness and player safely, then prepare yourselves for mass lawsuits due to negligence and injury compensation.
Matter of time before more of this continues to get attention across the media and it will come back to bite them!
So many people suddenly passionate about safety and the integrity of the wpl comp.
Can anyone else share some other insights on how to improve injury rates or is banning 5 trans athletes from 1 team by far and away the best way to achieve this?
Firstly, they (you) aren't "trans athletes". They (you) are blokes that want to play against women/girls.
Secondly, we are always all about integrity of competition. That's why everyone agrees to having ID cards, so "ringers" can't play. It's why there was an issue a couple of years ago over concerns that NER had a unregistered player who had signed from an NPL club.
Third, are you criticising the fact that people are concerned about women/girls getting injured? Interesting take.... The fact is in a contact sport things happen (still have pins and plates in my leg) but there is an acceptable level of risk that players take into consideration and then a level beyond this which is not acceptable. That seems a reasonable concern.
I'm not sure if banning grown men from playing against teenage girls is "far and away the best way" to improve injury rates. But your attitude is like saying that because speed is the biggest factor in road traffic accidents we shouldn't worry about any other way to reduce the number of accidents and therefore everyone can drink drive, use their phone and doesn't even need a licence.

it's ok couple of the boys will be playing youse anyway Goodluck keen for the game
During the March 20 meeting, which was attended by CEO of Football NSW John Tsatsimas and convened by CEO of NWSF, Matthew Geracitano, attendees were told that a decision to boycott participation by forfeiting matches against The Flying Bats would result in “disciplinary action” being issued.
“If there was a concerted effort by teams to forfeit games against a particular opposition that would be viewed as an act of discrimination,” said Chris Salmon, Chair of the Board of Directors for NWSF. While incidents of discrimination are weighed on a case-by-case basis, possible penalties include suspensions, from as little as two months to two years.
Yesterday at epping, bats beat a valiant ravens 2-0.
It appeared bats played within themselves and bats werent as effective without their 6"4 striker who was nowhere to be seen. Goalkeeper Mattie went upfront and scored both goals. The police and camera crew made it a fantastic spectacle for our association

So there was police and camera crew at the game, for what?! To protect them Bats, pathetic!
Wow this association is a fkn circus - don't have the legitimacy to say it as it is and to do something that should be supportive for female; correction, "biological female" football players, no other association in NSW has this problem and this club is only an invitational out of area into NWSF...they should do what is right for the majority of the association and send them back to Canterbury or whever they originally were
If nothing changes then the participation levels of NWSF Womens Premier League will be dire for not just next season but the flow on seasons to come.
All the work that clubs and the association have been trying to put in to strengthen women's participation in sport and to make the WPL competitive and held as a good standard across the football spectrum, will go all to waste.
But FNSW need to have a good hard look at themselves. I get that it's against the law to discriminate and not allow trans players to play and it's in the FNSW constitution to allow this to go ahead. But if they can't even take the time to consider the impacts that a team like the Bats or any other team that takes advantage of a situation like this (and cover it up by saying 'we are all about inlcusion') then this will be a constant issue for the next decade until society wakes up and realises we have been going backwards and not forwards.

Too Politically Incorrect - "protecting Women Sports". . .Won't get official traction.
Unless you gather all the club's spectators particularly the roudy ones like Normo, Epping Eastwood, West Penno etc. who just jeer at every mistake the players make then nothing's gonna happen during game day.
Watts is right - boycotting is the only way and if the rumours are true (and I know they are), clubs bringing in legal reps is a good start to ensure the right course of action is taken
There won't be a WPL comp next season at least not in its current form. I have it on very good authority a number a clubs simply wont play in a WPL comp against Bats. Two or 3 clubs have already contacted clubs from other associations. NWSF will have noone to blame but themselves. A shitshow is an understatement
Last weekend Gladesville Ravens had the opportunity to take a stand, they didn't.
Despite all the carry on in the lead up to the game about how unfair it is, not being a level playing field and safety concerns, the club went to water.
Frightened and scared of the governing bodies they crumbled when it counted.
Clearly the club needs stronger representation who won't fall to pieces when the going gets touch.
As a club, once you show hesitation and fear, you will always get pushed around and when that happens there is no coming back.
Yesterday I ventured down and watched the Flying Bats play Normanhurst.
The score was listed as 6-0 to the Flying Bats but I thought it was more than that, anyhow the score doesn't really matter as the Flying Bats were in low gear stringing passes together as if it was just a normal night at training.
I do want to single out the Normanhurst keeper, technically she was very good and had very safe hands.
A keeper of lesser ability would've concede far more goals, definitely she was Normanhurst's player of the match in my eyes.
Well done young lady!
I couldn't help notice that a couple of Normanhurst players were a bit tackle shy in the match, possibly due to the imposing size of the Flying Bats transgender players but that was only an observation of mine as I had no others around me to confirm or deny that.
The Flying Bats keeper named as Mattie Noble showed zero respect for the Normanhurst team who were completely outclassed believing it was appropriate to sit down on the ground in the penalty box whilst the ball was down the other end of the field.
The Normanhurst team deserved respect, they fronted up to play your team and you did that.
Extremely poor form.
Normanhurst now through the club management decision to play and not take a stand by forfeiting join the Castle of Cowards with Gladesville Ravens.

It was just something I pointed out, I did also point out that the Normanhurst keeper had an outstanding game and kept the score well below what it could've been.

No, business as usual in Bat Land.
Team is still there and so are the transgender players.
The rules allow for this which is where the problem is, Flying Bats and the players have done nothing wrong, they comply with how the rules are written.
>Some real disgusting comments in here. None of you know what it's like to transition, nor be a woman born in a man's body! If you're all so tough, why don't you come down and speak to me in person this weekend!
Where were you r1???
you had a cop on site and 4 patrol cars going around the area in-case of any drama.

Lots of imbeciles here - can tell none of you have made love to a trans woman!
It will change your life! Plenty of hypocrites in here who will go to Bali for end of season with their team and get an R&T from a transmission but then will happily sit here and abuse these locals!? Make it make sense!
So these 6 or 7 trans players are allowed to play in the Womens competition because they identify as women. That point is well established now.
Did you know this scum team also have a biological woman who is transitioning to a male and identifies as a male. So in that case how can this person play in the Womens comp???
Can't have it both ways hey. Or will the Association just continue to walk around like everything is normal

------------------------------------------
Not at all.
The speed of the WNPL competition is far far quicker than what Flying Bats have been subjected to this season and in local association football there is unlimited interchange unlike Sapphire Cup where there is not.
The fitness and skill level of the WNPL is far far greater as well.
Flying Bats won't be able to maintain the levels required as a WNPL club would.
So from being a big fish in a small pond, they now become a small fish in a big pond.
Looking at Champion of Champions later this year I would be surprised if Flying Bats don't go close to winning that.

Yes i know this doesn’t belong on the Mens PL forum but this is where what i am writing will get the greatest exposure.
For those who don’t know the name Riley Dennis, “she” was the topic of much discussion last season.
Riley is a 6”4 man who was playing Womens NPL for Inter Lions.
Riley wasn’t the only player who appeared to look different in the NPL competition and Inter Lions had at least a couple of these players.
There was a lot of negativity surrounding these players and artilcles even appeared in the main NSW newspapers.
Facebook’s NSW NPL Banter Page was the main flag bearer campaigning against this lunacy. Many posts are still on their page pertaining to this issue.
FNSW felt the pressure and introduced a new policy regarding testosterone levels in players. The result - Riley Dennis has too much testosterone to play WNPL.
But it’s ok to play against our Associations 16,17,18 year old girls. An absolute JOKE.
It’s only a matter until one of the players gets a serious injury. I hope NWSF lawyer up.
Now, part 2 of this issue.
For those who aren’t aware, there is a club in our Association called The Flying Bats. Self-proclaimed “biggest lesbian club in the world”. As described by themselves, it’s a club for women, trans and non-binary players.
For all i know about being involved in this Association for a while, this is a well run, friendly club.
But obviously there’s a big issue here.
Last season the Flying Bats Premier League squad contained what looked to be 5 or 6 players who were at the very least, trans gender. Some actually just looked exactly like a male.
Not only is this unfair for the rest of the competition but obviously unsafe for the players.
Fast forward to this season’s team and it appears they have recruited a couple of new ones, including Riley Dennis.
So Riley Dennis can knock in the goals for fun and make a complete mockery of the WPL competition.

forcing a team to play the bats is far passed a joke, if the players say no back your players Greg. Your opinion trying to reason with them to keep your own reputation is not needed friendy! Grow a backbone and let's the team make the choice if they do or don't okay. They are the ones who could suffer potential injuries not you

Greg friend pull your head in champ, women play in the women's, men play in the men's, keep it simple and easy, do you allow men to use the women's toilets at your club house and women to use the men's? Does that deliver a message of accepting all or just making people uncomfortable you flop

For those who aren’t aware, there is a club in our Association called The Flying Bats. Self-proclaimed “biggest lesbian club in the world”. As described by themselves, it’s a club for women, trans and non-binary players.
For all i know about being involved in this Association for a while, this is a well run, friendly club.
But obviously there’s a big issue here.
Last season the Flying Bats Premier League squad contained what looked to be 5 or 6 players who were at the very least, trans gender. Some actually just looked exactly like a male.
Not only is this unfair for the rest of the competition but obviously unsafe for the players.
Fast forward to this season’s team and it appears they have recruited a couple of new ones, including Riley Dennis.
So Riley Dennis can knock in the goals for fun and make a complete mockery of the WPL competition.
Look, I agree with all the concerns as a mum of girls but what i am seeing here is actually a crime, so let's just take a breath.
We can voice or concerns but unfortunately we agree to the policies which allow this to be occuring. Naming people, attacking administrators for actions in the policies that they are required to enforce by being a part of NSW football and also football australia.
But not recogninising transgender women as a categroy of woman starts to become problematic, especially when we speak on bathroom and changeroom access. That is not part of football or sport, that is law that clubs have no ability to force them out of those areas. That is considered discrimination under the law. I agree transgender women are women, but i think that there are places and spaces that need to be considered for access review like sport.
So let's get back to football. The referee can use red and yellow cards for ANY person who is a part of the game for their actions. Then there are incident reports and the actions that follow. But assuming that all transgender women are dangerous and predators is not helping our legitimate concerns of fairness. We are punishing them before they have hurt anyone or done anything wrong, and assuming who is transgedner and who is not, not every transgender woman is the same like not all men are the same or women biologically; weight, height, musscle mass, reaction speed, agility etc.
Let's be real. The policy change that has been mentioned from last year has in theory (because if we say they can play in the mens comp this would not be recognising them as transgender) forced a transgender woman into this division as for whatever reason (we dont know if it's hormones or their things so thats not my busniness) they have not been able to play in the ones listed in the policy.
Also i'm not gunna lie, but is there really any ack of awareness by this group as to why potential transgender and non-binary people are gravitating to the bats? Why would they join our clubs if we are actively targeting and attacking them for just being transgender and not doing anything wrong under the rules that aloow them to play? Doesnt surprise me that they are in a club that they know will be welcoming and recognise their identity, therefore more transgender women in this club than others? They feel safe. I think that is universal.
I think we need to get smarter and not be the hysterical crying not taken seriously group. Let's work on engagement with those in accordance with our policies on how we can be a part of that change for fairness and safety moving forward.
Side note: by forefiting games that seems to be the reason for the $500 etc fines because if you forefit for any reason that is the outcome. So that is not a penalty for 'standing up for our rights'. Any if you keep forfiting we have allowed them to be top of the ladder because they get the points. Play them, and win.
thanks Karen, the only crime here is letting these mentally ill on the field

And clubs only get fined $500 if they forfeit within 3 business daysof the match so you have zero idea

I'm not going to take this too seriously but what you're describing is what has made this whole dilemma so interesting to engage in. We are talking about legal vs ethics
By the law, this whole boycotting and trying to force trans out of the comp is against the law but there is the ethical dilemma of player safety and what is essentially biological common sense engaging in physical sport and implications that poses.
Have it on good authority that two ner players are considering leaving the squad immediately if the club goes against the teams wishes and doesn't forfeit against bats this weekend.
And a whole bunch will leave at season end. wow these people really know how to run a club!
Worried about there own reputations, where in fact they would get a lot more appreciation by forfeiting
Why do some people want to keep blinders on regarding biological differences and how these trans players themselves don't feel a bit embarrassed, they have to know their bodies are different and they're not just amazing soccer players...they're just playing with physically weaker women, Soccer categories were never divided into male and female because of gender identity, it was always a sex based categories, now society is woke as fck and they've had to bandaid some policy to mention gender identity but it doesn't consider how in order to compete fairly biological women should play biological womn, seems like a no brainer but here we are
The forcing of a presence into a category because of where you identify is absolute garbage, just the same as I'm sure they would have issue playing with biological men like themselves because that would probably make them uncomfortable. Listen to all the clubs around you, they're not comfortable with you.
why don't these flying bats bench their trans women 1 week and see what the score is, would be a pretty good study into what benefit they have, also why doesn't football nsw provide a survey out to registered players that can respond with whether they think teams should be put together based on gender identity or sex, I think the majority would say sex but are too afraid to speak up in open forums because the woke mob want to call everyone with an opposing position transphobic. It's not transhopibic to want to have a fairly competitive game against your same sex and women should have that opportunity in grassroots, they shouldn't have to go to NPL to get away from trans women with sky high testosterone

Hi guys let me introduce myself. My name is Greg. Greg F actually. Im a very important man and i help run a club. Lets just say they wear orange and black. My womens premier league players don't want to play against flying bats. But i would rather do what looks better for me. So im going to make them play. I will run this club into the ground like that piece of shit Jamie M.
Greg your drinking habits and gossiping ways will run you into the ground. Seems to be that your starting to come undone and a little uptight with all the commotion surrounding you. Double the post dinner reds tonight or up the strength of the VB's at the local

Yes i know this doesn’t belong on the Mens PL forum but this is where what i am writing will get the greatest exposure.
For those who don’t know the name Riley Dennis, “she” was the topic of much discussion last season.
Riley is a 6”4 man who was playing Womens NPL for Inter Lions.
Riley wasn’t the only player who appeared to look different in the NPL competition and Inter Lions had at least a couple of these players.
There was a lot of negativity surrounding these players and artilcles even appeared in the main NSW newspapers.
Facebook’s NSW NPL Banter Page was the main flag bearer campaigning against this lunacy. Many posts are still on their page pertaining to this issue.
FNSW felt the pressure and introduced a new policy regarding testosterone levels in players. The result - Riley Dennis has too much testosterone to play WNPL.
But it’s ok to play against our Associations 16,17,18 year old girls. An absolute JOKE.
It’s only a matter until one of the players gets a serious injury. I hope NWSF lawyer up.
Now, part 2 of this issue.
For those who aren’t aware, there is a club in our Association called The Flying Bats. Self-proclaimed “biggest lesbian club in the world”. As described by themselves, it’s a club for women, trans and non-binary players.

------------------------------------------
there is no admin, it's the wild Wild West up in here, also just because some people's view points are different from your own, it doesn't mean something should be deleted, sure there's some comments which are inappropriate but that shouldn't take away from the issue being discussed, it's clearly topical, trans women are increasingly being restricted from participating in sports as sporting authorities increasingly use their brains
It is incredibly frustrating that disagreeing that trans players should play in women's sport is being seen as 'transphobic' and is completely ruining the important debate which needs to be had. It is not transphobic to have concerns and to want to discuss the legitimate issues and issues in male v female anatomy. It does get overshadowed by obvious slurs and homophobes / transphobes with an agenda but as soon as you raise an issue, you get blasted for being discriminatory and transphobic which for the most part, is not the case.
1) By being inclusive to trans players causes exclusions elsewhere. Whether that is exclusion of a player out of a team / to the bench / other teams forfeiting or moving / leaving, is a very real issue.
2) Whilst the rules allow self-identification, the players are doing what the rules allow, hateful comments do not help the debate and it is not their fault Football NSW allows this.
3) There are obvious physiological and biological differences between males and females, to ignore this is as ignorant as those spouting hateful comments.
4) Trans players have a choice play in mixed, to go play 5 a side - other options are not removed, however, opponents are not given other options but are forced to play against their will. Just because a trans player chooses to play according to their gender, doesn't mean opponents consent to playing against their biological sex.
5) it is ignorant and naive to claim there is no biological advantage when you only have to look not only at science, but actually reality of the league. Who is scoring the most goals, how are they scoring, which traits do they have which others generally don't.. you cannot ignore what's in plain sight.
6) for both sides of the argument, trans players have to accept that there are noticeable differences and come to the table with an understanding that not everyone is consenting to playing against you, and opposingly those against need to do this in a kinder manner to have your opinion held a with a bit more understanding.
The starting point, which has been ignored throughout by the trolls, is NWSF and Football NSW have no say in this. It was explained to our clubs at the Presidents' meeting: As it stands, the law prevents discrimination based on gender identification. There's an exemption for elite sport. NPL is considered elite, NWSF is not.
That doesn't mean you can't disagree with having players born biologically male playing against women, or that you're automatically transphobic if that's you're view. Fair enough. But the change will have to come with a change in law, not abusive posts against the players or the local organisers. Call up your MP, start a petition, write to the Federal Minister, etc
Meanwhile, take a moment to consider others' perspective. A handful of trans players want to play with the Batts in a womens' comp because they're playing with their community, with their mates, just like everyone else. As a club, they've hardly won anything over the years, so are they all about using what some call an unfair advantage to win a park football trophy?
If the law is to change, the politicians need to balance some competing interests:
1. removing one aspect that could make a community sporting comp unfair - lots of other factors remain that we don't talk about;or
2. saying inclusion - letting people play sport with their community - is more important.
My guess is this is why there's an exemption for elite sport only in the law currently: For community sport the parliament decided inclusion is more important. I'm ok with that. I'm also ok if there are future changes in law that modify it after more constructive debate, research and consultation.
Most of all, though, this should be a debate led by women, not shouty blokes on a forum. Most of the women I've spoken to who play against the Batts in NWSF have no issue. They don't need blokes to tell them what's good for them.
/// Most of all, though, this should be a debate led by women, not shouty blokes on a forum. Most of the women I've spoken to who play against the Batts in NWSF have no issue. They don't need blokes to tell them what's good for them. /////////
stop trying to dictate who can talks about this.. some of us are parents/fathers
if men are participating in womens sports - why can't other men speak about the issue. YOu dont own this issue do you?
if the Assoc is fair dinkum - they would let any female teams opt out without a/any penalties.
And ,why can't these semi-men play in the MIXED competitions?

Lots of points you made in that post, but in relation to this specificially. I go back to my point that the inclusion is to the exclusion of others. If there are 5 trans players in the Premier League team, there could / would be 5 players in a league below who may have made the Prems if trans players werent there. When Riley Dennis was at Inter Lions, how many players were on the bench when she was on the pitch dominating the goal scoring table for a team bottom of the league.
From knowledge, Bats have won the league when Riley was there prior to her stint in the NPL. This is such a nuanced issue that too many groups (males, females, trans, non-trans, players, non-players) are trying to gate keep the topic without allowing a fair discussion on both sides. I am not sure if women leading the chat is the answer, it should be led with expertise and science / biology, whoever that is, but whatever it is, should be fair.
Ultimately whatever the outcome going forward, there will be people unhappy, so that is why the discussion and decisions should be done with the equality and fairness of MOST players at the forefront, whether that is allowing them to play or not.
Other NGO's have banned trans people from participating and whilst the trans and allies have called this transphobic (when its likely not) football should be looking at this with a similar lens. Why is it allowed in some sports and not others if there wasnt an unfairness?!

There is no point in having a female division if males can play in it. It is making a mockery of the word female. Males have plenty of options, leave the girls alone.

>That doesn't mean you can't disagree with having players born biologically male playing against women, or that you're automatically transphobic if that's you're view. Fair enough. But the change will have to come with a change in law, not abusive posts against the players or the local organisers. Call up your MP, start a petition, write to the Federal Minister, etc
>Meanwhile, take a moment to consider others' perspective. A handful of trans players want to play with the Batts in a womens' comp because they're playing with their community, with their mates, just like everyone else. As a club, they've hardly won anything over the years, so are they all about using what some call an unfair advantage to win a park football trophy?
>If the law is to change, the politicians need to balance some competing interests:
>1. removing one aspect that could make a community sporting comp unfair - lots of other factors remain that we don't talk about;or
>2. saying inclusion - letting people play sport with their community - is more important.
>My guess is this is why there's an exemption for elite sport only in the law currently: For community sport the parliament decided inclusion is more important. I'm ok with that. I'm also ok if there are future changes in law that modify it after more constructive debate, research and consultation.
>Most of all, though, this should be a debate led by women, not shouty blokes on a forum. Most of the women I've spoken to who play against the Batts in NWSF have no issue. They don't need blokes to tell them what's good for them.
------------------------------------------
The trans identified males a re male, not female. They have plenty of options to play - but they are not female. Heaps of female players signed up to play in a female comp, not a mixed division. Either do away with the "female" division and make everything open, or sotp making a mockery of the word female.
I think we are all forgetting or not aware that literally EVERY sport in australia has the same non-elite policy on trangsender participation, and most are still in the workd for elite policies too! So boycotting and protesting is not going to have the desired outcome. The way the rules/laws etc allow them to play, we are the people breaking them by what we are saying and doing (Seems mostly online? would you say these words to a transperson to their face?!), and also tbh putting those people we dont want to play a game with at risk because some people just dont like transpeople in general, not because they play a game with our daughters.
I dont think they should be allowed to play in the same team as my daughter as i think some transpeople may only be socially tranitioned not medically which really is like playing a CIS man, but also maybe some more limitations on under 18s playing in over teams? I am all for opinion and debate, but this forum has gone way over the line of concern and conversation.

Not forgetting that at all. But it has to start somewhere and it should start with us. Males are not female and it is a dangerous and unfair policy. Everyone is up in arms re domestic violence yet girls are being forced to play against males in sport! Stop making excuses. It is time to do theright thing and object to this nonsense before someone gets seriously hurt.

See, domestic violence and transpeople play sport are very different things.... Let's not confuse the issue we are apparently wanting to discuss in this forum. We are talking about fairness and potential risk of safety for size of some transpeople against women, not femicide by what the media is reporting is not by transwomen. Transphobia no, concern of fairness, and a tackle with potnetial for injury yes.
Tonight Flying Bats played Sydney University in Round 3 of the Sapphire Cup.
Sydney University ran out 8-2 winners which to those who are familiar with the standard of the FNSW WNPL competition wouldn't have been surprised at all with the score.
4-0 halftime.
8-2 full time.
Sydney University a team that plays in the FNSW WNPL competition who trains 3 times a week and has all the facilities available at their fingertips takes on a team who trains probably once a week and that is probably dependant a lot of the times on the weather.
What was seen tonight is Flying Bats stretched for the whole game and had to give it all from start to finish unlike when playing local association football teams they can take their foot off the pedal which they do.
Seeing what I saw tonight Flying Bats will be a very serious contender for Champion of Champions.
So who came out tonight on top, well the score says Sydney University but with Flying Bats slotting in 2 goals and having some other excellent opportunities I'd be a bit disappointed if I was Sydney University because Flying Bats did give a very good account of themselves and weren't in any way disgraced.
What tonight did clearly show without any doubt is how much better Flying Bats are than other team in plays in the NWS Football local association premier league competition.

The flying bats struggled the entire 90, it's fairly obvious they rely on other things besides good football during the normal league, I haven't seen the other Sunday games but I suspect it's a lob it from the back to the front situation.
one goal from the flying bats was a penalty and the other was because a trans player managed to outpace one of the Sydney uni players - which apparently it takes training 3x per week to even provide some level of competition to that factor (something the Sunday league doesn't do)
The flying bats were out paced, out skilled and weak on the ball. Sydney uni were strong and relentless and the scoreline reflected that with stunning goals and beautiful football on their part. It was very obvious from watching that aside from 3 trans players the other players in the flying bats don't even belong in premier league from a technical POV

As the previous post is getting too long I want to address specifically to the comments about last nights cup game.
Mole seemed to be quite generous in their comments about the game, not sure what they saw but it was totally different to what anyone with a bit of a football brain saw.
Bats clearly did not have the coaching, understanding or tactical awareness to be set up against a very organised NPL team who looked throughout like this was just a warm up for them. Bats had no shape, no structure and it seems like their tactics was to use the strength and speed of the trans players to outwit the Sydney team.
This would work against other Prem teams, but Bats generally are not a team with much skill. They couldnt control the ball, dived in, their passes were often given away, or hitting and hoping for the best. They do not appear to be a 'team' dominating a league. Even a dominating team in a league below should look like a team, they are a team of individuals, with the reliance on the individuals of the trans to get by. They need a lot of good coaching to be a team top of the league, which says a lot. Even Riley Dennis provides nothing to the team apart from the physical traits that training 3x a week cannot compete with. She stands up top waiting for her team mates to pass so she can run half the pitch, but when the players cant pass, she does not even help regain possession. They are a one (or 4) trick pony. Only the trans players in their team, which there were 4 playing, had the majority of their ball.
This does not work when playing against a good opponent. Their goals were a penalty (scored by a trans) and their second goal also scored by the trans player who 1) was able to outpace the defenders across half the pitch and 2) each time made contact with the opponent, looked like they were going to cause an injury. When this player celebrated the goal, they behaved like they won the world cup. At 8-2 it was fairly embarrasing.
I heard they thought they played well, Im not sure this result humbled them or if they just generally do not understand football, because if you do, you would not say that they played well or with any skill whatsoever.
So where does that leave the league, a team who arent good at football, not winning because they are any good, because of a few individuals.

I'm saying their team isn't NWSF prem league standard, most of their players aren't very good - we all know why they are doing as well as they are and it's not based on skill.

at least Marconi and Rockdale have the same number of cocks between the teams
Congrats to my mate Dave for scoring off a well put together set piece to win his first trophy since his under 7s participation trophy, might have had to cut his cock off to get it but a small price to pay. Go Bats.
Here's a good news feel story that the NWS Football Silverbacks will embrace.
Yesterday Flying Bats played Leichhardt Saints in Champion of Champions and got the chocolates despite being reduced to 10 players going into extra time.
In the end the "Pride" of the association prevailed by winning 3-2.
Leichardt Saints I believe were undefeated this season in the Canterbury Association and do boast a number of ex WNPL players in their squad.
Only a matter of time before the NWSF Board commissions a statute to be made for the Flying Bats to sit at the entrance to Christie Park outhouse.

Problem
wrote on 03-Mar-24 19:26Yes i know this doesn’t belong on the Mens PL forum but this is where what i am writing will get the greatest exposure.
For those who don’t know the name Riley Dennis, “she” was the topic of much discussion last season.
Riley is a 6”4 man who was playing Womens NPL for Inter Lions.
Riley wasn’t the only player who appeared to look different in the NPL competition and Inter Lions had at least a couple of these players.
There was a lot of negativity surrounding these players and artilcles even appeared in the main NSW newspapers.
Facebook’s NSW NPL Banter Page was the main flag bearer campaigning against this lunacy. Many posts are still on their page pertaining to this issue.
FNSW felt the pressure and introduced a new policy regarding testosterone levels in players. The result - Riley Dennis has too much testosterone to play WNPL.
But it’s ok to play against our Associations 16,17,18 year old girls. An absolute JOKE.
It’s only a matter until one of the players gets a serious injury. I hope NWSF lawyer up.
Now, part 2 of this issue.
For those who aren’t aware, there is a club in our Association called The Flying Bats. Self-proclaimed “biggest lesbian club in the world”. As described by themselves, it’s a club for women, trans and non-binary players.
For all i know about being involved in this Association for a while, this is a well run, friendly club.
But obviously there’s a big issue here.
Last season the Flying Bats Premier League squad contained what looked to be 5 or 6 players who were at the very least, trans gender. Some actually just looked exactly like a male.
Not only is this unfair for the rest of the competition but obviously unsafe for the players.
Fast forward to this season’s team and it appears they have recruited a couple of new ones, including Riley Dennis.
So Riley Dennis can knock in the goals for fun and make a complete mockery of the WPL competition.
It appears it’s all good as far as NWSF goes.
Where do we go from here?
Woke joke
wrote on 03-Mar-24 19:57Seems to me that everyone thinks it is better to pander to the woke brigade than think about the safety and enjoyment of teenage girls and young women.
Is it possible for all other clubs to refuse to play against them? Just forfeit. It keeps a leve playing field for every other team in terms of results and league positions but sends a clear message that the safety and well-being of players is the most important thing here.
In the past I've always thought the idea of the Bats club as somewhere inclusive and a "safe space" for a marginalised section of our society was a good thing but when it crosses the line in terms of allowing players who physiologically have the potential to significantly hurt the opposition then it's just plain wrong.

wrote on 03-Mar-24 20:30Why is NWSF permitting this while FNSW is not?
I'm concerned about the safety and comfort of my 16/17-year-old daughter playing against not one but many 30-year-old men in a women's-only competition.
If he or any of these males wish to participate, they should do so in a mixed competition, not in a women's-only comp.
Ensuring my daughter's safety and comfort during her matches against other women is paramount, and I may now need to reconsider the registration we've already paid for.

Not to mention the goalkeeper would not look out of place in the men's super league competition with their ability level, throwing the ball to near halfway and kicking it 3/4 the length of the field
Its great they want to play, but why are they not playing in the appropriately labelled mixed competition?
Mixed
wrote on 03-Mar-24 21:22There shouldn't be a mixed competition. There is a girl's/women's comp so why isn't there one for the boys/men?
Pathetic virtue signalling pandering.
Its not difficult. You play in the boys/mens or you play in the girls/womens. There are no other genders so there should be no difficulty working out where you should be playing.
Absolute bullshit.

They started to become aggressive towards the girls near the end. It seems they get worse every year, I couldn't name one single person who support these 'girls' being in the competition.
Honestly wouldnt have an issue if they were fully transitioned but some of the players look like they havent even started transitioning and are just legit dudes in wigs, the goalkeeper especially, its just unfair. A lot of them are generally assholes as well, seen them play quite a few times.

To give you some background as to why this is happening.
Prior to the merge Flying Bats were part of the NWSWF Association.
They weren't even located in the geographical boundaries of the association, however they were permitted to compete as a "Guest" club under the constitution and regulations.
Flying Bats have always had their sympathisers in positions of decision making back in the days of the Women's Association and those same sympathisers are in positions of decision making within NWSF Ltd.
One interesting fact is that the Flying Bats have changed their official registered address to now be within the geographical boundaries of this association but still train out of Tempe Reserve.
Below is the permissible clause in the NWS Football regulations that allows this to happen.
5.2 GENDER ELIGIBILITY
5.2.1 In line with the FA Member Protection Policy, players may register and participate based on their gender identification.

>Just the casual 6 goals for "Ryan" Dennis this morning in a 10-0 drubbing of Ravens PL side
------------------------------------------
The Bats weren't even in top gear against Ravens, cruise mode it was.
One thing that didn't go unnoticed was that in the 2nd half the Bats 1st half goalkeeper was replaced and allowed to play up front on the field and there was one particular slide tackle which was dangerous to say the least and fortunately it didn't make contact with a Ravens player otherwise it could've resulted in injury. The aggression in the air from the same Bats player was completely unnecessary as the result of the game was done and dusted by halftime.
Unbelievable
wrote on 11-Mar-24 09:45The fact that men are allwoed to play against women in our association is a joke. Puts all women who play in our PL at risk of serious injury. What world are we living in here ? since when was it ok to let men play against women. Its going to take a serious injury for anything to be done. I wonder how the fools that make these decisons at NWSFA would you feel if one of their daughters were injured by one of these gutless men who decide to play against women in our PL. Come play mens PL and see how youd fair against someone of your own gender
Wonder
wrote on 11-Mar-24 10:55I wonder what the regular Bats lesbian players think of this.
Their team has almost been hijacked by these men who in essence only pass to themselves and love patting themselves on the back after scoring endless screamers against young women goalkeepers and defencers while winning by double figures.
How exciting

“Effective immediately, I have been removed (banned) from the next 3 NXXT tournaments that I already signed up for and been approved to play,” wrote transgender golfer Hailey Davidson last week.
The message came after he/she was removed from the NXXT Women's Pro Tour, who has now announced that participants must be “a biological female at birth” to participate in its events, according to Fox News and the NY Post.
Davidson expressed his/her discontent because he/she was already crushing the woman's field: “They changed their policy mid season, after me signing up already and being 2nd in Player of the Year race.”
The tour faced massive backlash after Davidson won a tournament earlier this year that attracted significant media attention.
NXXT GOLF CEO Stuart McKinnon said: “As we navigate through the evolving landscape of sports, it is crucial to uphold the competitive integrity that is the cornerstone of women’s sports.”

wrote on 12-Mar-24 15:44The concerns on here are real and dare i say, seeing as how its on the Mens PL page, the vast majority on here aren't even directly affected and the feeling is overwhelming.
There is a big possibility the whole state/country will have eyes on this issue.
Let's see if NWSF have the balls to do something to avoid the competition being an absolute farce

if the association does read this then they should hang their heads in shame and whoever allowed it should resign from their position and never be involved in sports again. Particularly as this association "prides itself" on women's football yet allows men to join the women's comp.
as for the rainbow socks, I'm there on a Saturday arvo to play football. Not to make a political statement. Shove your rainbow up your arse

Some people don't realise that AA and PL comps are not called "Mens" - they are called "mixed".
They should play Mixed AA4 or whatever where they would be competitive.
They have no place in the Womens comp.

wrote on 15-Mar-24 11:28The association will do nothing simply because their own regulations allow it and these players have paid registration fees and that registration has been duly accepted.
There are 2 courses of action an affected club can take and one is to forfeit against this club and cite the reason of player safety and the club has a duty of care to its members.
The other is to jump associations.
The Mole
wrote on 15-Mar-24 12:51Last Sunday at the Ravens vs Flying Bats game, a NWSF Board member was present and a question was put to them on whether there appeared to be any players on the field that could be born a male at birth?
The answer that came back was beyond beggar's belief, "no, nothing looks out of the ordinary".
Of course this person is entitled to their opinion but so is everyone else and despite the concerns of clubs and players alike this will continue on without any disturbance for years to come if that is the way it is.
The day will come when a female player gets injured in a bad challenge and onto the field comes husband or boyfriend and takes matters into his own hands.
Not a case of if, but a case of when.
So competitions should be designed on what gender you are at birth, not how you identify later.
You can identify how you want, but it doesn't override the gender born at birth.
Its either female or male and that's it.

If expressing concern over player safety and fairness to biological born females is the definition of a bigot then I ride with that on every occasion.
As for sitting in the minority with this, if you believe I sit on the minority side then you are more delusional than I first thought.
One only has to read the undertone in your comments to see you are a Board Member Bully, name calling and threats of nothing you can do about it.
Probably right on the nothing I can do about it, but member clubs have a course of action they can take, up to them if they take that leap.
Glad to see in the association is in good hands, NOT.

If you are so deeply concerned for player safety then why aren't you targeting females who are physically as big, if not bigger, than these transgender players? I've seen some absolute units running around soccer pitches going in studs up and injuring players purely because of their "size". But we don't hear a peep from you because they're women. It's only a problem to you when it's someone not born a female.
So your issue was never player safety, it's the fact you don't like transgender people, hence, you're a bigot.

If expressing concern over player safety and fairness to biological born females is the definition of a bigot then I ride with that on every occasion.
As for sitting in the minority with this, if you believe I sit on the minority side then you are more delusional than I first thought.
One only has to read the undertone in your comments to see you are a Board Member Bully, name calling and threats of nothing you can do about it.
Probably right on the nothing I can do about it, but member clubs have a course of action they can take, up to them if they take that leap.
Glad to see in the association is in good hands, NOT.
No doubt you'll see me again, so please come up and say hello and we can discuss it further.
Until then.

>If you are so deeply concerned for player safety then why aren't you targeting females who are physically as big, if not bigger, than these transgender players? I've seen some absolute units running around soccer pitches going in studs up and injuring players purely because of their "size". But we don't hear a peep from you because they're women. It's only a problem to you when it's someone not born a female.
So your issue was never player safety, it's the fact you don't like transgender people, hence, you're a bigot.
------------------------------------------
Mr COD,
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
One of the newest wonders of the modern world is if someone doesn't agree with a certain group then that person is labelled a bigot.
Never let the facts get in the way of a good story Mr COD.
Will you be labelling everyone a bigot on Wednesday night at the meeting for Club Presidents who doesn't agree with you or are you saving that honour for me only.
PS: If you aren't who I think you are, then you're certainly a nasty piece of work trying to implicate someone else.

Where are these extra injuries caused by transgender players? They don't exist. They never have. Where are the stats showing their inclusion distorts the comp? Which comps have they cheated to win? Surely they have a full trophy cabinet including some club championships? Nup.
The womens comp here is pretty clean and fair. As Cod has pointed out, most of the bad tackles and resulting injuries come from aggresive women at teams/clubs that don't manage this kind of poor behaviour. Bats don't even make the list. Show me the stats if that's wrong, otherwise pull your head in. I'd rather have the Bats in our district than you.

just wait until one of these blokes makes a dirty challenge or decides to push or shove one of the women, or worse yet young girls????? Because I know how 99% of Men would react if another Man touched his daughter/wife. Let's see you control that NWSF... Big problems incoming just you wait!

You're not a bigot becuase you have opposing views on things. You are bigoted because you unfairly dislike a particular group of people for no good reason purely based on the fact they are different. You refuse to accept the members of this particular group despite there being no evidence behind your claims that it is unsafe.
All you're saying is that it "might" happen or that it "could" be dangerous. yet there are no examples to back up your claims that players are in danger. There is no epidemic of injuries now that transgender people are playing in the association, definitely no more so than the usual amount caused year in year out caused by cis-gendered players.

------------------------------------------
I don't recall saying anywhere on here that I disliked a particular group of people because they are different, now have I.
You are mixing fact with fiction Mr COD.
If I have please direct me to it.
You seem to be intent on saying that because there isn't injuries then it's not a concern.
One of the basic principles of risk assessment I would've thought is to act before it happens.
Forget about what I am saying, surely you've read a number of comments on here from others.
Some comments are insensitive but there are many that have a genuine concern.
Either yourself or St Patrick said I was in the minority of this one.
Surely nobody believes that.
I only know of one person, a parent of a Young Matildas who isn't staunchly against this.
At the end of the day, if it continues on then the best way to decide acceptance is player numbers in local association Women's senior football.
If any clubs chooses to forfeit then that would be a clear indication as to that team's view on the topic.
I also suspect veiled threats by the association could be a deterrent to taking that course of action.

Cod
wrote on 18-Mar-24 15:39Ok so because YOU only know of one person who isn't staunchly against it then that automatically means you aren't in the minority? I would say the absolute FACT that people are still turning up, supporting, playing games, registering for the next season and shaking their hands at the end of the match means a majority of people have no issue with trans-women participating in their games. So yes, you are in the minority.
In response to the link/video. Firstly anyone getting injured on a soccer pitch is not a nice thing to happen, just want to get that out there so I don't come across as completely harsh to that unfortunate girl.
But seriously, if you believe that video contained an egregious tackle that is leaps and bounds above normal tackles you see literally every week in womens football then YOU are the delerious one.
If that was ANYONE else other than a trans person then we wouldn't have heard a peep. But all of a sudden people loose their minds because they see someone different and think "THAT MUST BE THE REASON SHE WAS HURT" or "THATS WHY WE LOST THE GAME". It's clutchiung at strwas at this point.

Ahhhh I heard something about photos being removed after last years chaos around them. Assume it's a safety thing because seemed like a real pile on from all over the place!!! But also, there seem to be quite a few people without pics across the board on dribl and other comp apps so not thinking too much on that one. Photo ID I assumed you mean to be a registered person you need to prove you are who you say you are, when I changed my name after marriage I had to show that change in an ID for my rego. So now understand you mean no photo shown on the team list? I just think the policies seem to be a little broad for my liking, why have a policy for NPL but not for lower divisions. Get that this is an 'open comp' but there are still kids on these teams. Also less skill level?

The Inter Lions player fell because the St George tried to clear the ball and in doing so the ball actually made contact with the legs of the Inter Lions thus sending them off balance and falling.
Not even close to taking a player out.
On the other hand when the Inter Lions player took out the St George the ball might not even be in the field of play at the time and the force of the tackle which was completely unnecessary propelled the St George player dangerously close to the steel fencing surrounding the ground.

Can't remember if I heard right last night but didn't another Club's President out one of their own players being transgender and playing in the women's competition.
Not the smartest thing to say because all it does is to have people looking and all players now come under consideration.
I wonder if this person really knew that their own Club President would say that.

You said it yourself. They shouldn't be playing in this league.
Some of them are MEN who choose to play against teenage girls.
That is why these individuals and their club (for letting this bullshit happen) are being attacked

not to mention an unfair advantage?
It is most definitely far from over, wait and see the backlash if teams actually do decide to play and not forfeit, and god forbid something happens!
And what will NWSF do, fine every team every week for forfeiting to protect their players???? Let's wait and see..
The point is, you have MEN playing against young girls and females who don't want to want play against men.
I'm yet to hear from a team besides Bats who is for it?
what is so hard to understand????
Why don't you create a mixed devision where people register to play against both males and females and leave the WOMENS competition alone?

Lots of pushing by bats, some spectacular goals and from where i was near the bats dugout lots of cocky comments.
Gonna be an awesome comp this year

Email?
wrote on 27-Mar-24 22:14Anyone else receieve an email from NSWF via Dribl about a reminder of the Social Media Policy?
Never has such an email been sent through to all members of NWSF before and I have a reliable source that the reason why this email was sent was due to the posts coming from this forum and how this forum is tarnishing the reputation of NWSF, it's stance on transgender players and transphobia/homophobia that they appear to be observing from this discussion.
It's very clear that NWSF has a hard-line stance on this and it's frankly disappointing. That email goes to show that there is no room for a counter argument conversation or tolerance for any other opinion that isn't their own.
And it's a bad response in relation to women's safety which they simply don't care about.
More than that, it's sets a dangerous precedent that if you don't agree, you put up or shut up. Bumped into a ref a few weeks ago and he stated he won't referee Bats because of this. But hey, he can't let the powers to be know about that in case there's reprecussions.
That's the world we live in now. Players, coaches, refs all told to get on the Progress Train or else face Tribunal.
Park Football has lost it's mind.
Fuck NWSF
wrote on 28-Mar-24 06:48Well I'm not registered to any club. I'm not a player, coach or club member. I was in the past but now I just watch the occasional PL game.
So if they don't like my views on this they can kiss my arse because they sure as hell can't sanction me or my club as I don't have one.
If they want to ruin the sporting integrity of the womens competition and put the safety of young girls at risk just so they can be pander to the woke elite they can fuck off.
By the way I thought I'd check out the Bats photo on twitter/X to see who the five blokes were and I've narrowed it down to about a dozen of them.

Completely agree, people outside of football have gone into bat for the clubs, it's now up to the clubs to walk through that door and take up the fight.
If they do they will have enormous backing from many many outside of football which is clearly obvious now by those highlighting this through the media.

They have a WPL team and an AA1 team.
10/11 of the WPL team are biological women.
Some of them are actually very good players.
Take the best 4/5 WOMEN from the AA1 team and you have a strong AA1 team.
The 6 or so transgender players along with im presuming other transgender players throughout their club can play Mixed All-age.
Then everyone would be happy.
Or is it simply a case of Bats taking the piss and trying to get an unfair advantage?

Concerned Referee
wrote on 29-Mar-24 19:00There is no official word from the referees association around this issue. My days as a PL referee are long gone but this came up on the news and my daughter who was thinking of playing Women’s PL thought of playing this year but has opted out. Thought there would be talk on this place and I wasn’t disappointed.
I cannot be the only referee who feels uncomfortable of this whole debate and I spoke to a referee committee member and he privately admitted that this whole thing is simply ludicrous
I have been told during a referees training session this week that referees had to be mindful of transphobic and homophobic comments made on and off the football field and to sanction it appropriately. There was no official word or position that the referees association has made.
When I then asked this committee member whether there would be repercussions of referees opting out from officiating matches where they don’t feel comfortable refereeing teams like Flying Bats that have majority transgender players, the response I received was ‘there is no official statement about this but I’m sure it will be spoken about at the next referees meeting’.
Referees at the forefront of their roles have to ensure that they protect player safety as an utmost imperative. They simply cannot do this when you have a team like the Flying Bats who have 50% and more of transgender players.
And one cannot simply play the diversity and inclusion card as an excuse to allow this to continue.
If anything it shows that this is not about Inclusion but Flying Bats bending any rule to ensure that they win at all costs.
They can play in the Mixed Comp in the lowest division and still compete without impacting all other women that they come across. But no, this is about sending a message to the rest of the competition that you have to accept us otherwise we will tarnish any reputation you have.
It’s a dangerous line that we are allowing here. What’s to say we don’t simply allow any given person to ‘be transitioning’ and for more women to be hurt in the process.
Clear communication needs to be sent through from the association because at the moment and with the leaked audio, people will forever post anonymously or hold secret conversations so they don’t lose their livelihoods.
I know people will label me an old 1980s skeleton that needs to get with the times but this seems like a running joke that hasn’t been ended yet.

wrote on 29-Mar-24 21:02I was at the game last Sunday and if anything it was pretty clear Grant was too lenient towards bats and wasn't pulling up many fouls from them. Maybe he was scared about getting in trouble?
One bats player repeated fouled/pushed a Mac player and finally he booked the bats player to ironic cheers from the crown.
The Mac player was then substituted. Obviously it was deemed unsafe for her

------------------------------------------
1st Sentence - This has always been the Mens Premier League forum. So up until last year this was 99% men contributing. And even with the Women PL section included from last year, my guesses are that the PL lads that watch their partners play contribute majority wise there.
I do think there are some women who are not happy with the situation but it's the fathers/partners of these girls that have taken the voice to the people. You don't have WPL reps holding secret meetings if the majority of their team were okay with the whole situation.

Another important point to remember is at the meeting of the 20th held at Christie Park, St Pats informed the meeting that as a direct result of transgender players playing for Flying Bats their players do not wish to play against them and have withdrawn both of their nominated teams from the competitions.
Pretty powerful indication that is that their female players don't feel safe.

No further meeting, just the one that NWS Football scheduled back on the 20th.

wrote on 30-Mar-24 16:05So basically from that meeting on 20th March, there will be no further look into this?
so Bats will play with their 5 players for the rest of the season and nothing more will be said?
Wouldn't be surprised if someone tips the media of where Bats play in their first game of the season and have coverage/talking to spectators on how they feel about it.
Can also see the refs association and someone has already posted about it, start to give more cards for transphobia behaviour that's non existent. Can see refs favour Bats because a wrong decision against them will be considered transphobic. Can see clubs forfeiting games and even last minute requests to be put a division down.
Can see this whole thing turn very ugly.
NWSF will hope that this loses attention and everyone moves on.

If this is true it means the Association is just digging themselves deeper and deeper.
So every club loses a home game and Bats get to play every game at CP.
How is that fair. The Association continues to take it up the arse (perhaps literally) from this club.
What an embarrassment they all are
Legal
wrote on 31-Mar-24 10:15There's a couple of things that I've heard is going on
One of the club's knows a high profile lawyer and seeking legal advice about whether there can be legal grounds to gap into if there is solid evidence of increased of injuries directly resulting from teams playing against Bats.
Second bit of legal advice this club is seeking is the counter defence argument when (not if) their club chooses to forfeit their second round of matches against Bats (not just about player safety but essentially cheating).
Third bit of legal advice is around the protection of free speech and the threats NWSF lashed out to club's and members around the whole social media policy.
A reputable referee of the association was brought into the discussion to then talk about the refs associations position which there has been no official word about a particular stance. To quote what was mentioned from the president of the refs association 'referees need to ensure they deal with transphobic comments in the same way as they would with racist and homophobic comments (I.e. send them off for abusive language). There was a discussion around the subjectivity of what constitutes as transphobic and what is abusive as it was noted the terrible inconsistencies we see on a normal week to week basis from referees around what any given ref thinks constitutes abusive.
It was asked whether a player hypothetically said the phrase 'how are we supposed to play against a team like that'; whether such a statement could have a player sent off. The answer to this was highly probable.
The discussion around who could be liable if a class action was taken. Would the referee be held liable due his/her responsibility to protect player safety? No definite answer was given. There have been examples in the early 2000s where a player wore jewellery and lost his finger in an incident and the referee was held liable. This would need to be explored in case NWSF redirect legal action responsibility to the referees association.
As of today, it is of the belief that NWSF will allow Bats to play with possibly 8 transgender players. No club's have yet to pull out altogether from the comp and Bats will be playing at Peel Park on Sunday 3pm against Ravens.
Question for NWSF
wrote on 31-Mar-24 11:24Can someone from the association explain why, whatever number of years ago, a decision was taken to have a men's league and a women's league? On what grounds was this decision taken?
Can someone from the association then explain why the decision was taken for what is essentially the men's league to be called "mixed"? On what grounds was this decision taken?
Thirdly, can someone from the association explain why, having given their response to the first two questions, they now see no issue with a team that is potentially predominantly made up of men playing in the women's league.
Finally, I hope each and every one of you gets dragged through the mud and ripped to pieces by the media for putting your bullshit woke agenda ahead of any concerns about player safety and fairness and integrity of competition. Bunch of fucking virtue signalling weasels.

Great job outing one of your own, bet the player in question is thrilled to bits.
As for what was said in an earlier post about the media being at grounds, I have no doubt in the world they will be and will want to film but if the Premier League Flying Bats fixtures are played at Christie Park then access might be a bit more difficult to do so.
This week if Peel Park still remains as the venue, there is plenty of good viewing spots on the western side of the ground and no electric fencing either to keep the unwanted out.
Hunting Concern
wrote on 31-Mar-24 16:13TBH i fear we are veering into dangerous territory trying to out players. The policy is my issue, that it allows them to play in the first place. There are alot of people who just dont agree with trans-ness in and out of sport. So let's not go looking for people and ID'ing them because that's where it does become a safety risk to them as well during and not during games. Let's get the executives to make change, not personal attack? The injury convo seems to fall a little flat, the broken leg mentioned in the audio didnt say the bats player was trans and me tioned a clumsy tackle? I think there are inherent advantages men have over women, but surely a decent policy manages these risks?
Questions
wrote on 31-Mar-24 16:59I think there are a couple of things that need to be identified:
1. What are the requirements that NWSF have on allowing someone that is transgendered to play in the women's competition? If the rumours were true last season of Riley Dennis not being allowed in the NPL competition due to having too much testosterone levels in his body then are the same measures being used for all transgender players playing for Bats this season? Or is the margin 'that they simply identify as a woman'. If it's the latter then NWSF will need to put measures in place that smart-ass halfwits playing in Men's PL don't go 'identifying as women' to stir the pot for the sake of stirring a pot. However, if it is in relation to testestrone levels - then has Riley managed to keep his levels at an acceptable level? If so, there is a duty of care from medical professionals that need to be thought through to ensure he's not harming himself for the sake of allowing himself to play. And that's not just for Riley, that's for any transgender player.
Everyone is talking about the well-being and safety of all the other girls in other teams but we should also think through what impact these players are putting themselves through to allow themselves to play.
2. What are the clear directives from NWSF and FNSW around how many transgender players can play in a team? If we had a full team that were transgendered (from female to male), is that okay in the eyes of power's to be? Where's the line; if there is a line?
3. Have the Bats taken advantage of the transgender rule to allow themselves to win the premiership by 'stacking the deck'? Is this really about embracing diversity/inclusion?
4. If referees have been asked to clamp down harder on abusive language particularly towards transgender players and more broadly The Bats then what does that look like? If we see discord between two teams arguing about this issue, does the referee abandon the game because the game is in disrepute? Does all crowd chanting get reporting more hard-line for Bat's games because of the sensitive nature of this whole dilemma? What is deemed to be transphobic? How will referee's protect player safety when Bats play?
5. Will there be a Pride Round as rumoured half way through the season? If players and teams don't participate (particularly the direct players/team that plays against Bats), will NWSF sanction heavily? Will referee's be forced to sanction on the pitch (similar to 2022 WC when England were told that they would be sanctioned wearing the armbands).
6. Will clubs, representative's or vested interests in the game continue to leak to the media around the surrounding updates about this dilemma throughout the season? What's the end goal for everyone? Is it simply to get the board to admit they were wrong and to change or are people wanting to use this as an opportunity to wipe the whole board and start over again?
7. Will clubs that are genuinely concerned about women's safety, force their younger players to play in a different division to ensure their safety doesn't get impacted more than the average Jo playing?
8. Can NWSF force only players, coaches/officials and only close family to come to Bats games if they do indeed decide to move all Bats games to Christie Park? How can that legitimately be policed?
9. When will an official communication around this whole dilemma be sent through to all members? Every person and their dog now knows about what is happening and Im sure majority are wondering whether anything is happening from it. Just say something. Even if it is 'we stand by our original decision to allow this to continue and things will proceed as normal for Round 1'. Even that is better than nothing.
10. How big can this become? If nothing happens and media do pester this and this forum continues to engage in this in the way it has, could this be the leading international headline around what western society does with allowing transgender players to play women's sport?

Matter of time before more of this continues to get attention across the media and it will come back to bite them!

You're probably one of those blokes!
how about go play in the men's comp and leave the women to it
Facts for waaahh
wrote on 01-Apr-24 18:26Firstly, they (you) aren't "trans athletes". They (you) are blokes that want to play against women/girls.
Secondly, we are always all about integrity of competition. That's why everyone agrees to having ID cards, so "ringers" can't play. It's why there was an issue a couple of years ago over concerns that NER had a unregistered player who had signed from an NPL club.
Third, are you criticising the fact that people are concerned about women/girls getting injured? Interesting take.... The fact is in a contact sport things happen (still have pins and plates in my leg) but there is an acceptable level of risk that players take into consideration and then a level beyond this which is not acceptable. That seems a reasonable concern.
I'm not sure if banning grown men from playing against teenage girls is "far and away the best way" to improve injury rates. But your attitude is like saying that because speed is the biggest factor in road traffic accidents we shouldn't worry about any other way to reduce the number of accidents and therefore everyone can drink drive, use their phone and doesn't even need a licence.
Why not just play against other men?

During the March 20 meeting, which was attended by CEO of Football NSW John Tsatsimas and convened by CEO of NWSF, Matthew Geracitano, attendees were told that a decision to boycott participation by forfeiting matches against The Flying Bats would result in “disciplinary action” being issued.
“If there was a concerted effort by teams to forfeit games against a particular opposition that would be viewed as an act of discrimination,” said Chris Salmon, Chair of the Board of Directors for NWSF. While incidents of discrimination are weighed on a case-by-case basis, possible penalties include suspensions, from as little as two months to two years.

Make or Break
wrote on 08-Apr-24 09:26This is going to be make or break for NWSF.
If nothing changes then the participation levels of NWSF Womens Premier League will be dire for not just next season but the flow on seasons to come.
All the work that clubs and the association have been trying to put in to strengthen women's participation in sport and to make the WPL competitive and held as a good standard across the football spectrum, will go all to waste.
But FNSW need to have a good hard look at themselves. I get that it's against the law to discriminate and not allow trans players to play and it's in the FNSW constitution to allow this to go ahead. But if they can't even take the time to consider the impacts that a team like the Bats or any other team that takes advantage of a situation like this (and cover it up by saying 'we are all about inlcusion') then this will be a constant issue for the next decade until society wakes up and realises we have been going backwards and not forwards.

Despite all the carry on in the lead up to the game about how unfair it is, not being a level playing field and safety concerns, the club went to water.
Frightened and scared of the governing bodies they crumbled when it counted.
Clearly the club needs stronger representation who won't fall to pieces when the going gets touch.
As a club, once you show hesitation and fear, you will always get pushed around and when that happens there is no coming back.

If not they can join Gladesville Ravens in the Castle of Cowards.
The Mole
wrote on 15-Apr-24 06:39Yesterday I ventured down and watched the Flying Bats play Normanhurst.
The score was listed as 6-0 to the Flying Bats but I thought it was more than that, anyhow the score doesn't really matter as the Flying Bats were in low gear stringing passes together as if it was just a normal night at training.
I do want to single out the Normanhurst keeper, technically she was very good and had very safe hands.
A keeper of lesser ability would've concede far more goals, definitely she was Normanhurst's player of the match in my eyes.
Well done young lady!
I couldn't help notice that a couple of Normanhurst players were a bit tackle shy in the match, possibly due to the imposing size of the Flying Bats transgender players but that was only an observation of mine as I had no others around me to confirm or deny that.
The Flying Bats keeper named as Mattie Noble showed zero respect for the Normanhurst team who were completely outclassed believing it was appropriate to sit down on the ground in the penalty box whilst the ball was down the other end of the field.
The Normanhurst team deserved respect, they fronted up to play your team and you did that.
Extremely poor form.
Normanhurst now through the club management decision to play and not take a stand by forfeiting join the Castle of Cowards with Gladesville Ravens.

No, business as usual in Bat Land.
Team is still there and so are the transgender players.
The rules allow for this which is where the problem is, Flying Bats and the players have done nothing wrong, they comply with how the rules are written.

Not at all.
The speed of the WNPL competition is far far quicker than what Flying Bats have been subjected to this season and in local association football there is unlimited interchange unlike Sapphire Cup where there is not.
The fitness and skill level of the WNPL is far far greater as well.
Flying Bats won't be able to maintain the levels required as a WNPL club would.
So from being a big fish in a small pond, they now become a small fish in a big pond.
Looking at Champion of Champions later this year I would be surprised if Flying Bats don't go close to winning that.

Yes i know this doesn’t belong on the Mens PL forum but this is where what i am writing will get the greatest exposure.
For those who don’t know the name Riley Dennis, “she” was the topic of much discussion last season.
Riley is a 6”4 man who was playing Womens NPL for Inter Lions.
Riley wasn’t the only player who appeared to look different in the NPL competition and Inter Lions had at least a couple of these players.
There was a lot of negativity surrounding these players and artilcles even appeared in the main NSW newspapers.
Facebook’s NSW NPL Banter Page was the main flag bearer campaigning against this lunacy. Many posts are still on their page pertaining to this issue.
FNSW felt the pressure and introduced a new policy regarding testosterone levels in players. The result - Riley Dennis has too much testosterone to play WNPL.
But it’s ok to play against our Associations 16,17,18 year old girls. An absolute JOKE.
It’s only a matter until one of the players gets a serious injury. I hope NWSF lawyer up.
Now, part 2 of this issue.
For those who aren’t aware, there is a club in our Association called The Flying Bats. Self-proclaimed “biggest lesbian club in the world”. As described by themselves, it’s a club for women, trans and non-binary players.
For all i know about being involved in this Association for a while, this is a well run, friendly club.
But obviously there’s a big issue here.
Last season the Flying Bats Premier League squad contained what looked to be 5 or 6 players who were at the very least, trans gender. Some actually just looked exactly like a male.
Not only is this unfair for the rest of the competition but obviously unsafe for the players.
Fast forward to this season’s team and it appears they have recruited a couple of new ones, including Riley Dennis.
So Riley Dennis can knock in the goals for fun and make a complete mockery of the WPL competition.
It appears it’s all good as far as NWSF goes.
Where do we go from here?

wrote on 06-May-24 12:04Look, I agree with all the concerns as a mum of girls but what i am seeing here is actually a crime, so let's just take a breath.
We can voice or concerns but unfortunately we agree to the policies which allow this to be occuring. Naming people, attacking administrators for actions in the policies that they are required to enforce by being a part of NSW football and also football australia.
But not recogninising transgender women as a categroy of woman starts to become problematic, especially when we speak on bathroom and changeroom access. That is not part of football or sport, that is law that clubs have no ability to force them out of those areas. That is considered discrimination under the law. I agree transgender women are women, but i think that there are places and spaces that need to be considered for access review like sport.
So let's get back to football. The referee can use red and yellow cards for ANY person who is a part of the game for their actions. Then there are incident reports and the actions that follow. But assuming that all transgender women are dangerous and predators is not helping our legitimate concerns of fairness. We are punishing them before they have hurt anyone or done anything wrong, and assuming who is transgedner and who is not, not every transgender woman is the same like not all men are the same or women biologically; weight, height, musscle mass, reaction speed, agility etc.
Let's be real. The policy change that has been mentioned from last year has in theory (because if we say they can play in the mens comp this would not be recognising them as transgender) forced a transgender woman into this division as for whatever reason (we dont know if it's hormones or their things so thats not my busniness) they have not been able to play in the ones listed in the policy.
Also i'm not gunna lie, but is there really any ack of awareness by this group as to why potential transgender and non-binary people are gravitating to the bats? Why would they join our clubs if we are actively targeting and attacking them for just being transgender and not doing anything wrong under the rules that aloow them to play? Doesnt surprise me that they are in a club that they know will be welcoming and recognise their identity, therefore more transgender women in this club than others? They feel safe. I think that is universal.
I think we need to get smarter and not be the hysterical crying not taken seriously group. Let's work on engagement with those in accordance with our policies on how we can be a part of that change for fairness and safety moving forward.
Side note: by forefiting games that seems to be the reason for the $500 etc fines because if you forefit for any reason that is the outcome. So that is not a penalty for 'standing up for our rights'. Any if you keep forfiting we have allowed them to be top of the ladder because they get the points. Play them, and win.

I'm not going to take this too seriously but what you're describing is what has made this whole dilemma so interesting to engage in. We are talking about legal vs ethics
By the law, this whole boycotting and trying to force trans out of the comp is against the law but there is the ethical dilemma of player safety and what is essentially biological common sense engaging in physical sport and implications that poses.

wrote on 08-May-24 01:19Why do some people want to keep blinders on regarding biological differences and how these trans players themselves don't feel a bit embarrassed, they have to know their bodies are different and they're not just amazing soccer players...they're just playing with physically weaker women, Soccer categories were never divided into male and female because of gender identity, it was always a sex based categories, now society is woke as fck and they've had to bandaid some policy to mention gender identity but it doesn't consider how in order to compete fairly biological women should play biological womn, seems like a no brainer but here we are
The forcing of a presence into a category because of where you identify is absolute garbage, just the same as I'm sure they would have issue playing with biological men like themselves because that would probably make them uncomfortable. Listen to all the clubs around you, they're not comfortable with you.
why don't these flying bats bench their trans women 1 week and see what the score is, would be a pretty good study into what benefit they have, also why doesn't football nsw provide a survey out to registered players that can respond with whether they think teams should be put together based on gender identity or sex, I think the majority would say sex but are too afraid to speak up in open forums because the woke mob want to call everyone with an opposing position transphobic. It's not transhopibic to want to have a fairly competitive game against your same sex and women should have that opportunity in grassroots, they shouldn't have to go to NPL to get away from trans women with sky high testosterone

Yes i know this doesn’t belong on the Mens PL forum but this is where what i am writing will get the greatest exposure.
For those who don’t know the name Riley Dennis, “she” was the topic of much discussion last season.
Riley is a 6”4 man who was playing Womens NPL for Inter Lions.
Riley wasn’t the only player who appeared to look different in the NPL competition and Inter Lions had at least a couple of these players.
There was a lot of negativity surrounding these players and artilcles even appeared in the main NSW newspapers.
Facebook’s NSW NPL Banter Page was the main flag bearer campaigning against this lunacy. Many posts are still on their page pertaining to this issue.
FNSW felt the pressure and introduced a new policy regarding testosterone levels in players. The result - Riley Dennis has too much testosterone to play WNPL.
But it’s ok to play against our Associations 16,17,18 year old girls. An absolute JOKE.
It’s only a matter until one of the players gets a serious injury. I hope NWSF lawyer up.
Now, part 2 of this issue.
For those who aren’t aware, there is a club in our Association called The Flying Bats. Self-proclaimed “biggest lesbian club in the world”. As described by themselves, it’s a club for women, trans and non-binary players.
For all i know about being involved in this Association for a while, this is a well run, friendly club.
But obviously there’s a big issue here.
Last season the Flying Bats Premier League squad contained what looked to be 5 or 6 players who were at the very least, trans gender. Some actually just looked exactly like a male.
Not only is this unfair for the rest of the competition but obviously unsafe for the players.
Fast forward to this season’s team and it appears they have recruited a couple of new ones, including Riley Dennis.
So Riley Dennis can knock in the goals for fun and make a complete mockery of the WPL competition.
It appears it’s all good as far as NWSF goes.
Where do we go from here?

So Riley Dennis can knock in the goals for fun and make a complete mockery of the WPL competition.
It appears it’s all good as far as NWSF goes.
Where do we go from here?

Yes i know this doesn’t belong on the Mens PL forum but this is where what i am writing will get the greatest exposure.
For those who don’t know the name Riley Dennis, “she” was the topic of much discussion last season.
Riley is a 6”4 man who was playing Womens NPL for Inter Lions.
Riley wasn’t the only player who appeared to look different in the NPL competition and Inter Lions had at least a couple of these players.
There was a lot of negativity surrounding these players and artilcles even appeared in the main NSW newspapers.
Facebook’s NSW NPL Banter Page was the main flag bearer campaigning against this lunacy. Many posts are still on their page pertaining to this issue.
FNSW felt the pressure and introduced a new policy regarding testosterone levels in players. The result - Riley Dennis has too much testosterone to play WNPL.
But it’s ok to play against our Associations 16,17,18 year old girls. An absolute JOKE.
It’s only a matter until one of the players gets a serious injury. I hope NWSF lawyer up.
Now, part 2 of this issue.
For those who aren’t aware, there is a club in our Association called The Flying Bats. Self-proclaimed “biggest lesbian club in the world”. As described by themselves, it’s a club for women, trans and non-binary players.
For all i know about being involved in this Association for a while, this is a well run, friendly club.
But obviously there’s a big issue here.
Last season the Flying Bats Premier League squad contained what looked to be 5 or 6 players who were at the very least, trans gender. Some actually just looked exactly like a male.
Not only is this unfair for the rest of the competition but obviously unsafe for the players.

-FNSW banned it for NPL
-NWSF have allowed it.
The real question is, do you have a special league for people in between girls and boys or is this considered too descriminating?
The bodies are obvioulsy treading really gently as they will end up in court.

there is no admin, it's the wild Wild West up in here, also just because some people's view points are different from your own, it doesn't mean something should be deleted, sure there's some comments which are inappropriate but that shouldn't take away from the issue being discussed, it's clearly topical, trans women are increasingly being restricted from participating in sports as sporting authorities increasingly use their brains
Goals Aloud
wrote on 10-May-24 19:21It is incredibly frustrating that disagreeing that trans players should play in women's sport is being seen as 'transphobic' and is completely ruining the important debate which needs to be had. It is not transphobic to have concerns and to want to discuss the legitimate issues and issues in male v female anatomy. It does get overshadowed by obvious slurs and homophobes / transphobes with an agenda but as soon as you raise an issue, you get blasted for being discriminatory and transphobic which for the most part, is not the case.
1) By being inclusive to trans players causes exclusions elsewhere. Whether that is exclusion of a player out of a team / to the bench / other teams forfeiting or moving / leaving, is a very real issue.
2) Whilst the rules allow self-identification, the players are doing what the rules allow, hateful comments do not help the debate and it is not their fault Football NSW allows this.
3) There are obvious physiological and biological differences between males and females, to ignore this is as ignorant as those spouting hateful comments.
4) Trans players have a choice play in mixed, to go play 5 a side - other options are not removed, however, opponents are not given other options but are forced to play against their will. Just because a trans player chooses to play according to their gender, doesn't mean opponents consent to playing against their biological sex.
5) it is ignorant and naive to claim there is no biological advantage when you only have to look not only at science, but actually reality of the league. Who is scoring the most goals, how are they scoring, which traits do they have which others generally don't.. you cannot ignore what's in plain sight.
6) for both sides of the argument, trans players have to accept that there are noticeable differences and come to the table with an understanding that not everyone is consenting to playing against you, and opposingly those against need to do this in a kinder manner to have your opinion held a with a bit more understanding.

wrote on 11-May-24 14:21A fair and rationale perspective, Goals Allowed.
The starting point, which has been ignored throughout by the trolls, is NWSF and Football NSW have no say in this. It was explained to our clubs at the Presidents' meeting: As it stands, the law prevents discrimination based on gender identification. There's an exemption for elite sport. NPL is considered elite, NWSF is not.
That doesn't mean you can't disagree with having players born biologically male playing against women, or that you're automatically transphobic if that's you're view. Fair enough. But the change will have to come with a change in law, not abusive posts against the players or the local organisers. Call up your MP, start a petition, write to the Federal Minister, etc
Meanwhile, take a moment to consider others' perspective. A handful of trans players want to play with the Batts in a womens' comp because they're playing with their community, with their mates, just like everyone else. As a club, they've hardly won anything over the years, so are they all about using what some call an unfair advantage to win a park football trophy?
If the law is to change, the politicians need to balance some competing interests:
1. removing one aspect that could make a community sporting comp unfair - lots of other factors remain that we don't talk about;or
2. saying inclusion - letting people play sport with their community - is more important.
My guess is this is why there's an exemption for elite sport only in the law currently: For community sport the parliament decided inclusion is more important. I'm ok with that. I'm also ok if there are future changes in law that modify it after more constructive debate, research and consultation.
Most of all, though, this should be a debate led by women, not shouty blokes on a forum. Most of the women I've spoken to who play against the Batts in NWSF have no issue. They don't need blokes to tell them what's good for them.

stop trying to dictate who can talks about this.. some of us are parents/fathers
if men are participating in womens sports - why can't other men speak about the issue. YOu dont own this issue do you?
if the Assoc is fair dinkum - they would let any female teams opt out without a/any penalties.
And ,why can't these semi-men play in the MIXED competitions?

Lots of points you made in that post, but in relation to this specificially. I go back to my point that the inclusion is to the exclusion of others. If there are 5 trans players in the Premier League team, there could / would be 5 players in a league below who may have made the Prems if trans players werent there. When Riley Dennis was at Inter Lions, how many players were on the bench when she was on the pitch dominating the goal scoring table for a team bottom of the league.
From knowledge, Bats have won the league when Riley was there prior to her stint in the NPL. This is such a nuanced issue that too many groups (males, females, trans, non-trans, players, non-players) are trying to gate keep the topic without allowing a fair discussion on both sides. I am not sure if women leading the chat is the answer, it should be led with expertise and science / biology, whoever that is, but whatever it is, should be fair.
Ultimately whatever the outcome going forward, there will be people unhappy, so that is why the discussion and decisions should be done with the equality and fairness of MOST players at the forefront, whether that is allowing them to play or not.
Other NGO's have banned trans people from participating and whilst the trans and allies have called this transphobic (when its likely not) football should be looking at this with a similar lens. Why is it allowed in some sports and not others if there wasnt an unfairness?!

The trans identified males a re male, not female. They have plenty of options to play - but they are not female. Heaps of female players signed up to play in a female comp, not a mixed division. Either do away with the "female" division and make everything open, or sotp making a mockery of the word female.

Not forgetting that at all. But it has to start somewhere and it should start with us. Males are not female and it is a dangerous and unfair policy. Everyone is up in arms re domestic violence yet girls are being forced to play against males in sport! Stop making excuses. It is time to do theright thing and object to this nonsense before someone gets seriously hurt.

See, domestic violence and transpeople play sport are very different things.... Let's not confuse the issue we are apparently wanting to discuss in this forum. We are talking about fairness and potential risk of safety for size of some transpeople against women, not femicide by what the media is reporting is not by transwomen. Transphobia no, concern of fairness, and a tackle with potnetial for injury yes.

wrote on 14-May-24 23:24Tonight Flying Bats played Sydney University in Round 3 of the Sapphire Cup.
Sydney University ran out 8-2 winners which to those who are familiar with the standard of the FNSW WNPL competition wouldn't have been surprised at all with the score.
4-0 halftime.
8-2 full time.
Sydney University a team that plays in the FNSW WNPL competition who trains 3 times a week and has all the facilities available at their fingertips takes on a team who trains probably once a week and that is probably dependant a lot of the times on the weather.
What was seen tonight is Flying Bats stretched for the whole game and had to give it all from start to finish unlike when playing local association football teams they can take their foot off the pedal which they do.
Seeing what I saw tonight Flying Bats will be a very serious contender for Champion of Champions.
So who came out tonight on top, well the score says Sydney University but with Flying Bats slotting in 2 goals and having some other excellent opportunities I'd be a bit disappointed if I was Sydney University because Flying Bats did give a very good account of themselves and weren't in any way disgraced.
What tonight did clearly show without any doubt is how much better Flying Bats are than other team in plays in the NWS Football local association premier league competition.
Huh?

The flying bats struggled the entire 90, it's fairly obvious they rely on other things besides good football during the normal league, I haven't seen the other Sunday games but I suspect it's a lob it from the back to the front situation.
one goal from the flying bats was a penalty and the other was because a trans player managed to outpace one of the Sydney uni players - which apparently it takes training 3x per week to even provide some level of competition to that factor (something the Sunday league doesn't do)
The flying bats were out paced, out skilled and weak on the ball. Sydney uni were strong and relentless and the scoreline reflected that with stunning goals and beautiful football on their part. It was very obvious from watching that aside from 3 trans players the other players in the flying bats don't even belong in premier league from a technical POV

wrote on 15-May-24 11:29As the previous post is getting too long I want to address specifically to the comments about last nights cup game.
Mole seemed to be quite generous in their comments about the game, not sure what they saw but it was totally different to what anyone with a bit of a football brain saw.
Bats clearly did not have the coaching, understanding or tactical awareness to be set up against a very organised NPL team who looked throughout like this was just a warm up for them. Bats had no shape, no structure and it seems like their tactics was to use the strength and speed of the trans players to outwit the Sydney team.
This would work against other Prem teams, but Bats generally are not a team with much skill. They couldnt control the ball, dived in, their passes were often given away, or hitting and hoping for the best. They do not appear to be a 'team' dominating a league. Even a dominating team in a league below should look like a team, they are a team of individuals, with the reliance on the individuals of the trans to get by. They need a lot of good coaching to be a team top of the league, which says a lot. Even Riley Dennis provides nothing to the team apart from the physical traits that training 3x a week cannot compete with. She stands up top waiting for her team mates to pass so she can run half the pitch, but when the players cant pass, she does not even help regain possession. They are a one (or 4) trick pony. Only the trans players in their team, which there were 4 playing, had the majority of their ball.
This does not work when playing against a good opponent. Their goals were a penalty (scored by a trans) and their second goal also scored by the trans player who 1) was able to outpace the defenders across half the pitch and 2) each time made contact with the opponent, looked like they were going to cause an injury. When this player celebrated the goal, they behaved like they won the world cup. At 8-2 it was fairly embarrasing.
I heard they thought they played well, Im not sure this result humbled them or if they just generally do not understand football, because if you do, you would not say that they played well or with any skill whatsoever.
So where does that leave the league, a team who arent good at football, not winning because they are any good, because of a few individuals.

I'm saying their team isn't NWSF prem league standard, most of their players aren't very good - we all know why they are doing as well as they are and it's not based on skill.

wrote on 23-Sep-24 05:50Here's a good news feel story that the NWS Football Silverbacks will embrace.
Yesterday Flying Bats played Leichhardt Saints in Champion of Champions and got the chocolates despite being reduced to 10 players going into extra time.
In the end the "Pride" of the association prevailed by winning 3-2.
Leichardt Saints I believe were undefeated this season in the Canterbury Association and do boast a number of ex WNPL players in their squad.
Only a matter of time before the NWSF Board commissions a statute to be made for the Flying Bats to sit at the entrance to Christie Park outhouse.
