A Sydney mother has warned that young girls are being put in danger after a boy who claims to be female played on a touch football team in a match involving her daughter.
Katherine Deves, a lawyer and former Liberal Party candidate, said she would be challenging the competition’s decision to let a male child play with females in the game on Thursday afternoon, warning it was unfair and risked the safety of young girls.
Ms Deves added that a controversial far-left bill allowing so-called transgender people to change their birth certificates, which passed the NSW upper house just hours later, would negatively impact women’s sports.
“My daughter plays girls U9 touch footy – contact/collision sport,” Ms Deves wrote on X.
“A boy played on the other girls team this afternoon. The coach tried to gaslight my husband the boy was a girl.
“Now Greenwich’s dastardly Equality Bill is afoot expect more males in female sports at all levels and ages in NSW, the social contract is now broken.
“Obviously I cannot post the footage of the boy playing, so here is a pic of the little girl being put at risk by Alex Greenwich’s shameful bill that is unfair, discriminatory and hateful towards all females.”
“This isn’t a problem”

She later revealed that the boy’s team won 11-1 against her daughter’s side, who topped the competition table last year.
“Girls under the age of 12 have just as much right to fair and safe sport as anyone else,” Ms Deves said in response to an X user who said they did not have a problem with allowing boys to play on girls’ teams until children reached adolescence.
“Lots of kids are experiencing puberty at eight these days. Get these grifting, faking boys out of our daughters’ sports.”
Opponents of the Equality Bill, devised by homosexual independent Sydney MP Alex Greenwich, warned that it would destroy women-only spaces by allowing males to officially define themselves as females at the stroke of a pen, despite this being biologically impossible.
Liberal Party MP Susan Carter said the bill would “create significant issues for single-sex schools, including boarding schools, change rooms, boarding teams, women’s refuges, correctional facilities” and her colleague Rachel Merton described it as “dangerous”.
“We’ve already seen women’s spaces, women’s services, women’s sports eroded under the existing laws,” Ms Merton said.
“This bill will take us further down this road where the rights of women and girls are cast aside.”
But two other Liberal MPs crossed the floor to vote in favour of the legislation – the party’s first openly homosexual female parliamentarian Jacqui Munro on Thursday night where it passed 15 to 12, and Felicity Wilson in the lower house on Wednesday night.
The bill also makes it an offence to “out” a homosexual, and enables the court to make parentage orders for children born via commercial surrogacy even though it is illegal in NSW.
Critics warned the latter change could result in human trafficking and encourage overseas commercial surrogacy.
Mr Greenwich celebrated by sharing a photo of himself hugging controversial radical gender ideology activist Teddy Cook, a member of a UN panel who has pushed for taxpayer-funded “sex change” surgeries for all “transgender” Australians, is into bondage, nudism and drugs, and has had her breasts surgically removed.
Ms Cook earlier this year sparked a dispute between X and Australia’s eSafety Commissioner by complaining about a post by Canadian anti-child mutilation campaigner Billboard Chris calling her a woman, even though she is a biological female.
On Friday Mr Greenwich shared photos of the bill being signed, and said he was “already staring work on the next tranche of LGBTIQA+ reforms with renewed confidence”.
“This bill means every state now has Self-ID laws for trans people, and we lead the nation in recognising non-binary as a sex descriptor, parentage orders for families through overseas commercial surrogacy, and in making threat to ‘out’ someone an offence,” he said.
