More wonderful news. Women are getting our own sports back, one by one. I've always been very poor at more physical sports, but I was a decent darts player back in my student days.

Transgender players have not been banned, men have. Presumably women who identify as men and are not doping can still compete. Men banned from women's sports should be the headline. Imagine where we would be if they all stopped lying.

Good news.

Fantastic news!!

They've completely changed their policy - in fact, they've done a 180..

I'll get my coat

Good.
They should not be taking women's prizes.

Yesss!

"As a result of its review, the DRA is satisfied that to achieve fair competition in darts, only biological females should be eligible to compete in women’s tournaments regulated by DRA rules"

I once actually threw 180, and count it amongst my finest achievements! I was good pool player too, but hated the way that men would muscle in to our games / matches any way they could and completely change the vibe, let alone try to dominate.

Happy to play with female players who say they identify as living in a masculine gendered style, though.

Very good 😂

also very good news. As it should be.

That's great news

Shout out to the amazing Dr Emma Hilton💚💜

Good news.

Oh yes. Thank you, Dr Em for all your work.

Male-as-default, right? Women not worth notice, hence the ease with which women’s sports was handed over to men.

"Every day it is getting harder and harder for trans people identifying males to exist steal women's stuff.”

Fixed that for him.

I genuinely don't understand why he can't play in the men's events. Perhaps one of this week's ploppers will explain

Because he can't be guaranteed to win. Being defeated by another man in his first round match in the World Championship shows that clearly.

Again with the headline…. It’s not hard is it - transgender people aren’t banned from anything are they MEN are banned from women’s darts

(good news though - the headline just pissed me off)

Well he just needs to train harder then.

r/transgenderUK are taking it well

"Cunts wont break us , the tide will shift not soon but eventually"

Fantastic news! It's really gathering momentum now, isn't it.

Agree with the frustration around the headlines though. Trans players haven't been banned at all - they just need to play in the right sex category.

In vase anyone is wandering why woman need Darts tournanents of tbeir own...

A few weeks ago DDs school started a Darts club. About 25 turned up... of which 4 were girls.
DD was the most experienced girl... she has her own dart board, but isnt that good yet. The other three had never played

All the boys knew what they were doing. They had all been taught by male family members.

About bloody time - thinking of Deta Hedman and her strong stance on this in the face of PDC cowardice

also thinking of the ppl running the PDC X account who can now turn their replies on (every time noa lyn played they turned off replies)

editing to add the very low key notice on their X account https://x.com/officialpdc/status/2042244626887630868?s=46

and that they've turned off replies for it 🤪🤪🤪

Brilliant!

Along with: "reframe your trauma about not being able to play in women's tournaments"

I'm sure I'll think of more
