Trans women have been banned from women's darts.
Darts.
The ban is based on some English woman's "study". The woman in question is a known TERF.
Again, let me reiterate: darts.
Darts.

@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 Wait. Does this mean I've been playing darts wrong since I could hold a dart?
Am I supposed to use my uterus to wield and throw the dart?? And if I don't have a uterus I can't play darts competitively?
What if I had a hysterectomy - am I no longer able to throw a dart?
Jeebus, this is just the stupidest TERF-y bullshit. The contortions of logic they use to prevent a small number of humans from participating fully is utter nonsense.
Husband: I thought we were going to play darts so you could practice before your women's dart match.
Me: Yeah, I'm ready when you are.
Husband: Uh... that technique is, um, new to me. Doesn't it hurt? *eyeing my crotch*
Me: Yeah, it hurts like a mothertrucker but apparently competitive women's darts requires a vagina and uterus to participate.
Husband: Does that mean I have to throw with my penis for men's darts? How would I grip a dart if I'm cut? *winces*
Me: You got me. *kegels to throw*
@thomholwerda and chess.
That great bastion of physical prowess. Chess.
@quixoticgeek @thomholwerda why is there even a womens league in chess? Honest question
@quixoticgeek @thomholwerda you'll appreciate the raw strength needed to move a proper 1:1 scale rook
/s
@quixoticgeek @thomholwerda Don't make fun of Chess, that's my main exercise when I get to play it three times a year.
