Noa-Lynn van Leuven will be banned from competing in any of the Professional Darts Corporation’s women-only events with immediate effect after a ruling from the sport’s regulatory body stated only biological females can now compete in women’s tournaments.
And he accepted this decisiuon with all the bad grace you'd expect:
Van Leuven responded on social media on Thursday afternoon, saying she had been “retired” by the decision. “I just got an email,” the 29-year-old said in a post on Instagram. “Apparently, I just got retired, not by choice, but because I am no longer allowed to compete.”
Untrue, you can still compete - in the men's tournaments.
“I have worked so damn hard for years just to get here. I showed up and I competed. I respected the sport every game and every single day.”
Liar. You competed as a woman, knowing full well you weren't one. The fault lies with those who didn't stop you, true, but you yourself bear at least half of the blame.

There is one easy way of stopping this. In every sport, have a trans category. The level of interest by the competitors should show that they have previously been trying to take advantage in the main categories.I

I would have thought that playing darts would be something that didn't require gender specific competitions. That it does would suggest that, at least at the present time, the standard of the men is higher than the standard for women. If this is indeed the case it would also suggest that this guy isn't good enough to compete against men so he inserts himself into the women's game by pretending that he's a girl.
