Professional Darts Player Takes Stand Against Biological Male Competing Against Women | WLT Report

preview

The latest chapter in an ongoing debate over the right of biological males to compete in women’s sports played out recently in Europe.
According to Fox News:
British female darts player Deta Hedman refused to play against a transgender competitor in the Denmark Open over the weekend and removed herself from the competition.
Hedman was set to face Noa-Lynn van Leuven in the quarterfinals of the tournament but opted not to play instead and forefeited. Hedman pushed back on reports she pulled out of the match due to an illness and also declined compensation she may have lost due to her decision.
“No fake illness I said I wouldn’t play a man in a ladies event,” Hedman wrote on X.
She added, “This subject causing much angst in the sport I love . People can be whoever they want in life but I don’t think biological born men should compete in Women’s sport.”
She has spoken out repeatedly in recent weeks to support the protection of women’s sports.
Testosterone if the upper level of a woman is 2.4 nmol/L and the lower level for men is 10mnol/L , why in darts isxit acceptable in darts that a trans can play if 10mnol/L or under , 4 times higher than a woman ?? @sharrond62 #SaveWomensSports pic.twitter.com/4ALsI0eUUT

Novel idea home nations darts actually bothering to canvass women players for their views ! I dont think this has been done by PDC or WDF , at end of the day its us women that governing bodies decisions in womens sports affect . Well done @EDOdarts Scottish and Welsh darts

Virtually all sports orgs agree that a male post puberty has many advantages  , strength , muscle mass , lung capacity etc, suppressants dont drastically reduce these ! Surely this helps a trans in  their mentality/physcholgy in a precision sport.@sharrond62 @SportSEENuk

Of course, she’s far from the only female athlete to miss out on some major opportunities because of the left’s insistence that biological males should be allowed to compete in women’s events.
As the New York Post reported last year:
A female pool player received a round of applause when she forfeited a pool tournament rather than compete against a trans woman in the finals.
Lynne Pinches opted to walk away from the finals of the English Pool Association’s 2023 Champion of Champions Ladies on Sunday rather than play versus Harriet Haynes.
A video of the moment shows that Pinches and Haynes vied to see who would break.
Pinches won and shook hands with Haynes, but then walked toward the tournament official and apparently declared a forfeit.
Swimmer Riley Gaines has been a leading voice on this issue, as evidenced in her congressional testimony:
