Transgender athlete Hannah Mouncey claims the Australian women's handball team has left her out of the world championships team because her teammates are refusing to share a change room with her.
The 30-year-old was thrust into the spotlight in 2018 after she was blocked from playing in the Women's AFL because she had too much testosterone to qualify for the female league.
Mouncey, who previously represented the nation in men's handball, has since helped the Australian women's handball team qualify for the world championship.
The international competition will be held in Japan this month, but Mouncey wasn't selected to compete.
In an explosive post in the Star Observer this month, Mouncey said she refused a management request to use a separate changeroom because female teammates felt uncomfortable with her presence.
