Hannah Mouncey Biography

Hannah Mouncey is one of the most popular and richest Handball Player who was born on October 21, 1989 in Sydney, Australia. Hannah Mouncey was born Callum Mouncey on 21 October 1989. She is an Australian national team handball player and also plays Australian rules soccer. Mouncey was a representative of Australia in men’shandball before she transitioned. Mouncey has been questioned about her eligibility to compete in women’s handball competitions. Mouncey made her debut with Australia’s women’s handball team at 2018 Asian Women’s Handball Championship.

Mouncey made the decision to change while she was in Qatar for a qualifier tournament for the 2016 Summer Olympics. She began hormone therapy in November 2015 and continued her transition. Mouncey informed her mother of her decision while she was still in Qatar. She then shared the news with her mother and other friends. In May 2016, she was publicly identified as a woman.

The late decision to exclude Mouncey left the AFL open to criticism from the public and the media, and the AFL Players Association called for clarification from the AFL on the eligibility of transgender players. There was confusion about whether the AFL had authority to approve Mouncey to play in other Australian football leagues in 2018, or whether their approval was necessary, contrasting with both the earlier indication that this would be acceptable and Mouncey’s participation in 2017. In December 2017, Mouncey decided to move to Melbourne to advance her football career and her public speaking business called Transform Coaching and Speaking. Fairfax Media listed the denial of Mouncey’s nomination as one of year’s top 10 sports stories in Canberra.

Although the 2018 AFL Women’s season did not start until well beyond the 12 month IOC guideline, Mouncey’s nomination for the 2017 AFL Women’s draft was declined based on the Victorian Equal Opportunity Act allowing gender discrimination “if strength, stamina or physique is relevant.” Mouncey’s testosterone levels had remained far below the IOC limit, and the Australian Football League (AFL) had indicated they would use IOC guidelines on transgender players. Mouncey previously played for the Ainslie Football Club in the 2017 AFL Canberra women’s season. The AFL indicated that she could play for Ainslie in 2018, and could nominate for the 2018 AFL Women’s draft. In response, the Ainslie Football Club coach and president both stated to the media that there had been no concerns about Mouncey’s strength, stamina and physique in the 2017 AFL Canberra women’s competition.

The International Olympic Committee recommends that trans women receive 12 months of hormone therapy before they can participate in women’s competition. However, Mouncey’s testosterone levels had fallen to 10 nmol/L as of July 2016. Mouncey had hoped to participate in the October 2016 women’s handball competition and be selected for the Australian women’s national team. The Australian Handball Federation refused her request to be a representative for the ACT in October 2016. This was due to insurance concerns, as she was still three weeks away from the IOC guidelines of 12 months of hormone therapy.

Mouncey began her handball career in 2009 after she moved to Canberra. She played handball for Canberra Handball Club in Australia’s Capital Territory. She was the past president of Handball ACT.

Mouncey was part of the Australian men’s handball team, playing 22 games as Callum Mouncey. He made his debut in the 2012 Oceania Handball Championship, against New Zealand. After that, he continued to represent Australia at both the 2013 World Men’s Handball Championship, and in a qualifying tournament before the 2016 Summer Olympics.

In a statement on 13 February 2018, the AFL supported Mouncey’s request to play state league Australian rules football, such as VFL Women’s (VFLW), and stated that the decision to deny her entry into the AFL Women’s draft was only for 2017. AFL Victoria later confirmed, after she began training with Darebin Falcons, that Mouncey would play in the 2018 VFL Women’s season. This was the first time that the AFL had agreed for an openly transgender woman to play at that level. Mouncey debuted for Darebin in round 1 of the 2018 VFLW season, kicking a goal while playing in the ruck and at full-forward in a lop-sided loss against the Northern Territory Football Club. Mouncey ended the season second in VFLW goal-kicking behind Darcy Vescio. On 9 September 2018, Mouncey announced that she would not nominate for the 2018 AFL Women’s draft, while publicly releasing health and fitness records as evidence that she was eligible under the AFL’s policies for nomination of trans women.
