Original Note:
There's no evidence the player, Papua New Guinea's Joanne Lagona, is not a biological female or identifies as trans. Since her country isn't the most LGBTQ progressive place on the planet and the IRL doesn't permit trans players anyway it's extremely unlikely that she's trans. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/jun/21/international-rugby-league-joins-swimming-in-barring-transgender-women-from-competing#:~:text=Transgender%20women%20will%20be%20barred,policy%20on%20the%20polarising%20issue.
