The World Darts Federation has struck out with a new policy, banning trans women from competing in women's darts. This move, exemplified by the ban on rising star Dasha Dolan Van Leuven, isn't about fair play; it's a blatant display of prejudice disguised as policy. Despite darts being a game of precision and skill, not brute physical strength, the federation's decision smacks of scientific denial and an insidious blend of transphobia and misogyny. It's yet another disheartening instance where fear and cultural bias override logic and inclusivity, reminiscent of 'separate but equal' policies. Thankfully, Dasha is refusing to quit, continuing to compete and highlighting how easily bigotry can infiltrate any arena, no matter how absurd the justification.
