The ban is based on some English woman's "study". The woman in question is a known TERF.
Again, let me reiterate: darts.

So, when will we get trans men competing in women's darts?
Because that might actually make someone realize a thing or two
It sucks that it becomes necessary, but it would probably work pretty well.

@thomholwerda always has been.
Binary - #GenderSegregation in #Sports solely exist to protect #FragileMasculinity!
- Because any scientific metric to fair ranking would result in weight- / experience- / ELO- / age-based classifications that would inevitably make a (cisbinary) man loose against women, and that can't be allowed.
@kkarhan @thomholwerda cf skeet shooting?
"The sports where women outperform men"
"In fact, women can outperform or perform similarly to men in a range of competitive events, from sport shooting to ultrarunning."
The sports where women outperform men
From ultrarunning to shooting sports, in some competitions women have the edge.

@thomholwerda That’s crazy, it’s not even a real sport. It’s a pub game, like pool, quizzing and yard of ale.

@thomholwerda First and foremost, we should get rid of gender categories in this sport completely. I don't get it in chess either.

I knew trans women had been banned from chess.
Darts? Probably the same TERFish "study".

@thomholwerda Well, of course. TERFs will use any excuse to discriminate, and cis men jump on the bandwagon because it gives them an ego boost to think that men are better than women at everything. They absolutely love it.

Look, banning trans women from sports is total bullshit, but at the very least you can see why hundreds of years of propaganda and misogyny in sports would make people assume trans women have an unfair advantage. It's bullshit of course, but at least I can follow that flawed logic.
But darts? Motherfucking darts? You're throwing objects weighing 12-32 g (depending on preference) at a board designed specifically to be penetrated by darts. Fucking children play this game.
If you ever needed proof this was never about protecting women, just think of how these nazis are banning trans women from darts.
DARTS.
@thomholwerda don't forget British chess banning trans women too!

@thomholwerda To all those celebrating banning women from something like darts, I dare you to show your mother how proud you are.

@thomholwerda its all the practice peeing standing up
-
@thomholwerda Another one of those sports that shouldn't be segregated by gender in the first place.
@GrahamDowns @thomholwerda this is a very considerable comment
-
@thomholwerda And wasn't it a big story when a woman competed with the men.
edit: typo
@alsvha @thomholwerda Male fragility is a sad tale of men wanting to be in every place even if they aren't welcome but also wanting to keep others out of their groups in case they're humiliated.
-
@thomholwerda and chess.
That great bastion of physical prowess. Chess.
@quixoticgeek @thomholwerda Don't make fun of Chess, that's my main exercise when I get to play it three times a year.

@nini @thomholwerda No doubt, they're afraid of loosing and thus need excuses upfront.
Also having as a gateway argument into other groups and segregation, especially embolden by today's politics.

@thomholwerda
are these trans women with an unfair advantage in the room with us now? are they on the list of winners? -
The Women's organisation isn't the whole of darts.
The Professional Darts Corporation is gender neutral.
@simon_lucy @thomholwerda I was about to say, it's a little weird there are even gender based categories in darts. Seems right away like one of those sports where none should be required.

@thomholwerda it's incredible that darts are gender segregated at all to begin with. and even more incredibly, the lore behind their segregation was that men were too mad when women won over them
