"I'm just an ordinary guy who wants to play football, just with slightly different circumstances of how I came to be a guy," he says.

Reporting from The Age (Australia), Jill Stark brings us news of a young man doing what a lot of young men do: playing football.  This young man was born a woman.

He has asked for and received permission from league officials to play football because it is for males only.  He will have a hysterectomy soon, which will allow him to change his birth certificate to indicate his gender as male.  This is important, because the league insurance won't cover him until this task is completed.
