Yet another sloppy title.
Transgender players to be banned from women’s darts events
Male players. The problem is not that they’re transgender but that they’re men. If they’re women who don’t dope then they’re not banned, whatever they claim to be or idennify as.
Noa-Lynn van Leuven, a transgender competitor, has described the decision as ‘huge hit for the trans community’, with the ruling coming into force immediately
A male transgender competitor.
Transgender players have been banned from women’s darts tournaments after the sport’s regulatory authority ruled that only biological females will be allowed to compete.
The new policy, which comes into force immediately, means Noa-Lynn van Leuven, a Dutch transgender player who has won several women’s tournaments, will no longer be able to compete in them. She said the decision by the Darts Regulation Authority (DRA) was “a huge hit for the trans community”.
He said. And it’s not a hit, it’s a reversal of what should never have happened in the first place. If he weren’t a greedy ruthless cheat he would know that.
In a Facebook video reacting to the decision, a tearful Van Leuven, 29, said: “Apparently I am going to have to retire as I’m no longer allowed to compete.”
Wah. Now think about how the women feel.
“I have worked so damn hard for years just to get here. I respected the sport, and now I’m being told I just don’t belong. Every day it is getting harder and harder for trans people to exist.”
Nonsense. Competing in a women’s sport despite being a man is not necessary to anyone’s existence.
