"The DRA announced that it will no longer allow trans women to compete in its women's competitions. Instead, they will have to compete in an 'open' category, which allows players of any gender."
"I just got an email. Apparently, I just got retired, not by choice, but because I'm no longer allowed to compete. The DRA just decided that trans women are no longer allowed in women's events, which basically means I'm out."
"The DRA's policy review commissioned developmental biologist Dr. Emma Hilton, who has published several papers on gender and sports, to examine sex differences in the sport. She concluded that 'multiple, small magnitude sex differences accumulate to generate male advantage over females in darts.'"
The Darts Regulatory Authority has implemented a new policy prohibiting trans women from competing in women's darts events. This decision affects Noa-Lynn van Leuven, a transgender champion, who expressed disappointment over being 'retired' from competition. The policy change follows a review by Dr. Emma Hilton, who identified male advantages in darts. Trans women will now compete in an open category instead. Van Leuven has won six titles in the PDC Women's Series and voiced her frustration over the exclusion from women's competitions.
