The 28-year-old made headlines in 2017 when she tried to join the AFLW, but was stopped by the league the day before the draft.
She said league officials confirmed she could continue playing in Canberra.
But she noted officials seemed confused about the effects of gender transition and hormone treatment on strength.
This comes as Mouncey revealed on twitter she was drained by all the recent media attention.
‘I only do media because that’s the only time the AFL answers my Q’s,’ she said.
‘Otherwise, I wouldn’t.’
Daily Mail Australia has contracted the AFL for comment.
