Transgender Darts Player Noa-Lynn Van Leuven Vows to Continue Fighting After Ban
Noa-Lynn Van Leuven has expressed her determination to keep fighting after being banned from competing in women's darts tournaments. The 29-year-old transgender woman, who has made history in the sport, stated that the decision is not just about her, but also affects the entire trans community. Van Leuven, known as 'The Duchess', has been a trailblazer in the darts world, becoming the first trans woman to play in a TV tournament and winning several titles on the women's tour. The Darts Regulation Authority's ruling, which only allows biological females to compete in women's tournaments, has sparked controversy and debate. Van Leuven has received support from fellow players, including Michael van Gerwen and Luke Humphries, who have called for her to be allowed to continue competing. Despite the setback, Van Leuven remains committed to her sport and has vowed to keep fighting for her right to participate.
