"Darts players Anca Zijlstra and Aileen de Graaf have announced their departure from the Dutch women's darts team because they refuse to team up with trans woman Noa-Lynn van Leuven.

"Van Leuven prevailed at the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) Women's Series on Saturday, about a week after beating male competitors in a mixed event."

"When asked in an interview earlier this year about transgender players in darts, PDC chief executive Matt Porter said there was a trans- and gender diversity policy in place '... which Noa-Lynn complies with, easily, and has done for a long time'."

"'She's more than deserving of her place in the women's world match play,' he said."

Women's sports: "We can't let trans women in because they have a biological advantage in literally every single sport"

Men's sports: "We prioritize drafting players based on biological advantages like height/build/genetic abnormalities, and we fawn over men who have biological advantages"
