00:00 Noeline van Leeuwen has caused plenty of controversy after winning on the PDC
00:07 women's series. The transgendered dance player has spoken out after the backlash
00:11 following the victory in Wigan, beating the likes of Fan and Sherrick on the PDC
00:16 women's series. That has led to two of van Leeuwen's teammates pulling out of
00:21 the Netherlands national team together. Eileen de Graaff and Anke Zylstra took
00:26 issue with van Leeuwen's eligibility to compete against women, adding to the
00:30 outrage that has been taking place on social media. Both de Graaff and Zylstra
00:35 released statements confirming their decision to withdraw from the Dutch team
00:39 for the four nations tournament in early April. This has led to van Leeuwen
00:44 herself responding as she said "I don't really feel the need to go further into
00:48 it. This has been their choice and not mine. I think the only unfortunate thing
00:53 about this issue is that a lot of people forget that I am also a human being."
