The author of “Harry Potter”, JK Rowling, criticized a transgender handball player who feared that they could not compete for a place in the Australian Olympic team of Australia, since biological males were forbidden to compete in women’s sports.
Hannah Mouncey, a former Australian rules soccer player, said in the “looted” podcast he hoped to compete in the women’s team at the Los Angeles Games of 2028 and the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games.

Rowling, who has been in favor of maintaining the women’s sports fair, responded on social networks.
“The man fears that he is not allowed to deceive the Olympic Games playing against women,” Rowling wrote in X. “Man says that the anti -cycle feeling is being ‘armed’ against men like him, who cheat. Read more here about why the misleading man is sad and why women who could hurt simply do not matter.”
Mouncey ruled out the notion that transgender athletes had an advantage over women.
“There is the idea that trans athletes have an unfair advantage, but the results do not show that,” said Mounch. “I have always believed in justice and restrictions when necessary, but blanket prohibitions are not the answer.”
The transgender policy of the International Federation of the Federation of Burodipe entered into force in 2022.

The policy declared that the transgender athletes that compete against female athletes “must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the expert panel (on the balance of probabilities), according to clause 4, that the concentration of testosterone in their serum has been less than 5 NMOL/L1 continuously for a period of at least 12 months; of competition.”
In addition, the policy declared that the athlete will need “a result of the proof of at least 12 months, but not before 14 months before the first competence of the athlete that indicates that the total level of testosterone of the transgender athlete in serum below 5 nmol/l” and “an affirmation of a medical professional that indicates that the total level of the athlete of the transgender athlete has been below the total level of the testosterone Under the serum it has been below 5 nmol/L for the minimum of 12 months for Almol of the 12 -month statement for Almol.
