HANNAH MOUNCEY

She/Her

“Hannah Mouncey is an Australian handball player who played 22 games with the Australian men’s team before beginning hormone therapy in late 2015. She first publicly identified as a woman the following year. Mouncey hoped to play in the women’s competition for the 2016 Summer Olympics. But her request was denied because she was a few weeks shy of the International Olympic Committee’s requirement of 12 months of hormone therapy.” “Mouncey debuted with the Australia women’s national handball team at the 2018 Asian Women’s Handball Championship and competed again at the 2022 Asian Women’s Championships held in Incheon and Seoul, South Korea. Mouncey is the only athlete in the world to have represented their country both pre– and post–gender transition at senior level in any sport.” [Source, Source]
