Darts player Deta Hedman has once again refused to compete against trans woman Noa-Lynn van Leuven 🎯 The 65-year-old pulled out of a PDC Women’s Series quarter-final that was set to take place on Saturday, after being drawn against the transgender Dutch player – having previously done the same in May 2024. At the time of the first forfeit, Hedman told German publication Bild: “I’m not playing against a man in a woman’s body.” It is unclear whether her justification was the same for the more recent forfeit. Van Leuven, who became the first trans woman to compete at the PDC World Darts Championship, recently reflected on her journey in an unrelated post on social media, writing: “To feel free in who you are, who you love, or how you show up in this world, is something we all deserve. We deserve to just be.” #Transgender #darts #NoaLynnvanLeuven #DetaHedman #WorldDartsChampionship #trans #lgbtqia
