Darts Champion Vows to Continue Fighting After Transgender Women Banned from Women's Events

Noa-Lynn Van Leuven has expressed her determination to keep fighting after the Darts Regulation Authority announced a ban on transgender women participating in women's tournaments. The 29-year-old, who has won six titles on the women's tour, stated that this decision is not just about her, but also affects the entire trans community. Van Leuven has been a trailblazer in the sport, becoming the first trans woman to compete in a TV tournament and the World Darts Championship. Despite facing opposition from some players, she has received support from others, including Michael van Gerwen and Luke Humphries. Van Leuven emphasized that she just wants to play darts and have fun, and her message to the LGBTQ+ community is to be themselves and love the game. She has vowed to go back to the drawing board and continue fighting, saying 'this isn't the end.'
