"This isn't just about me" - Professional darts player Noa-Lynn Van Leuven has expressed her determination to keep fighting after being banned from competing in women's tournaments. The 29-year-old, who has made history as the first transgender woman to play at the World Darts Championship in 2024, spoke out against the Darts Regulation Authority's decision to bar transgender women from women's events. Van Leuven, who has won six titles on the women's tour since joining in 2022, stated that she is "not done fighting" and will continue to advocate for the rights of the trans community. The DRA's ruling, which was announced on Thursday, has sparked controversy and debate within the sports world. Van Leuven has received support from fellow players, including Michael van Gerwen and Luke Humphries, who have spoken out against the ban. Despite the setback, Van Leuven remains committed to her passion for darts and has vowed to find a way to continue competing.
