It clearly isn't a minor issue to the ladies involved in the gameCaptain Hobo wrote: βWed Mar 27, 2024 10:15 amHonestly my opinion is that Noa and others who transitioned in adulthood shouldn't be allowed to play the Women's Series.Cooking with Sanchez wrote: βWed Mar 27, 2024 10:10 amFair enough. Careful though, you aren't allowed to have a different opinion on this matter without being called a troll.

How is that relevant?
Everyone who reads this forum knows your opinion on trans women in darts by now. You've spent many more hours posting it than you've ever spent watching women's darts.
All I want is not to read the same opinion, dressed up as indisputable fact, every day for the last 3 months.
But it's such a minor issue, I don't really care. And I don't want to align with the kind of people who want to make it an issue.
They clearly care and this is a thread about it

I would like to think I had a small part in that

I'm sure you would, but there's no chance.
It starts with Ashton, then the PDC giving women spots in the World Championships (and Grand Slam), and then of course Sherrock. But what sealed it really was having both Fattypuff and Thinifer combination so you have two young women darts players with one or both of them throwing good darts. As long as one of them can play well at the Grand Slam or Worlds it'll keep things up. And of course, it would help if the they could meet in the Women's Matchplay and both play their A games.

Appreciate that. I really liked Linehan for a long time, but given he can't restrain himself he can't get work anymore and you don't see him on telly anymore. Simple as that. To like Linehan at this point would be to like this absolute husk of a human who tends to single out some of the most vulnerable people he stumbles across and go "Lol this ugly bloke is dressing up as a woman!" to his thousands of followers. It's just nastiness. He isn't engaging in a debate most of the time he's just being a dick. I judge people on how they treat societies most vulnerable and If the chips had fell a little differently Its not difficult to see him aiming his sights at the disabled.sennafan24 wrote: βTue Mar 26, 2024 4:54 pmIndeed he is, but Deadshot's description of events involving him is accurate.
I do remember that when I played darts socially there was a lady there that without fail every single week gave us an absolute pasting, and have always thought that the current skill gap is purely because historically in womens darts the money hasn't been there. Ergo they never played full time, had to maintain jobs and it showed in the standard. Now the PDC has adopted the womens side the prize money has gone up and is reliably available. Women can play full time (or justify dedicating more time) and the standard is climbing. There are plenty of people in the ladies game that can give Noa a beating on their day. and I wouldn't surprise if this turns out to be a purple patch for her if Sherrock can find consistent form
too long didn't read: I don't think being a man is an inherent advantage in darts. I think women have better fine control of their hands and have the possibility of being better players but until recently they couldn't afford the time that men have been able to. Taylor was a cut above the rest because he practiced like a man possessed. Easy to see

The next controversy is AI where some players have 5 and a half fingers on their throwing hand. An advantage or a disadvantage, do we follow the science or be enslaved by big glove.

The format is due to the ladies being far worse so she is correct.

And rightly so. More darts thrown less legs needed.

Come a long way from her being discriminated against at darts tournaments to being the perpetrator.
