Darts Pro Noa-Lynn Van Leuven Vows to Continue Fighting After Transgender Women 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 won six titles on the women's tour, stated that the decision is not just about her, but also a significant setback for the trans community. Van Leuven had made history by becoming the first transgender woman to play at the World Darts Championship in 2024. The Darts Regulation Authority's ruling allows transgender women to continue competing in open tournaments, but they will no longer be eligible to participate in women's events. 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 sport and has vowed to continue fighting for her right to compete.
