In an extraordinary turn of events, the UK’s Ultimate Pool Women’s Pro Series Event 2 concluded with a final match that had no women.
The all-male final between Harriet Haynes and Lucy Smith, both “transgender-identified male”s, marked yet another grim milestone in the unravelling of women’s sports under the weight of trans ideology.
Haynes and Smith each eliminated four female opponents on their path to the championship, which Haynes ultimately claimed. But this wasn’t a triumph of talent, it was the predictable outcome of allowing biological men to compete in women’s leagues.
“Cheating bulls***”
Piers Morgan’s response was swift. He branded the match-up “cheating bulls***”, while former Olympic swimmer Sharron Davies called it “grossly wrong in every way.”
Not only is fairness compromised, but so is the very integrity of women’s sport. The public saw a final that was meant to showcase top-tier female talent reduced to a mockery of the division it claimed to represent.
To add insult to injury, Haynes is no stranger to winning by default. In 2023, he was handed the Women’s Champion of Champions title after female player Lynne Pinches walked away from the table in protest. Her powerful words still ring: “Even if you win against a trans player, in your heart you know it’s unfair.”
With male height, reach, and physical leverage — all derived from male puberty — the field is skewed before the first ball is even struck.
When biological men are allowed to dominate women’s categories, women’s sport ceases to be what it was built to be: a level playing field for women.
Legal weaponisation of ‘gender identity’
Mr Haynes’ dominance in women’s pool is not just physical, it is also legal. After the English Blackball Pool Federation (EBPF) restricted its women’s division to biological females following the 2023 debacle, Haynes responded not with introspection, but with a lawsuit. He accused the federation of violating his rights under the UK’s Equality Act, citing discrimination against his “protected characteristic” as a transgender person.
Therein lies the tension: legal protections designed to prevent genuine discrimination are now being weaponised to dismantle the very concept of sex-based categories.
While Haynes bemoaned the loss of his “hobby and passion”, he showed no regard for the women displaced from their rightful spots. Women who have spent years training, funding themselves, and battling gender-based barriers — only to face a new form of exclusion.
The threat of legal action has had a chilling effect. While EBPF held firm, the Ultimate Pool Group and the World Blackball Pool Federation buckled, lifting their restrictions on “trans-identifying males”. This gave Haynes a green light to continue steamrolling through the women’s division, unchecked and unchallenged by those too afraid to defend fairness.
If a man can identify into a women’s category and then use anti-discrimination law to shut down opposition, we are not protecting minorities — we are silencing women. In what world is that progress, let alone righteous?

Disc Golf Protest
Across the Atlantic, another woman decided she’d had enough. At the Music City Open in Tennessee, disc golfer Abigail Wilson took a dramatic and public stand. Faced with competing against a “transgender” opponent, Natalie Ryan, Wilson mimed her opening throw, then turned to the crowd and declared, “Females must be protected in our division. This is unfair. I refuse to play.”
Her walkout, met with applause, echoed past protests in other women’s sports. On Instagram, she posted: “Today I most likely ended my career and that is OK because this is bigger than me.” Her words were not for clout. They were a raw, personal sacrifice to preserve what little fairness remains for women in sport.
Wilson described how she worked long, dirty hours as a tile mason to afford her spot on the Disc Golf Pro Tour, only to be ignored when she voiced safety concerns about playing with a male athlete who now claim to be a woman (trans). No security, no accommodations, no care. Just another woman expected to endure anxiety, discomfort, and danger to avoid offending the status quo.
The Disc Golf Pro Tour praised her right to protest but rejected her safety claims. No rule was broken, they said. But that’s the problem: the rules themselves are broken. And until they’re fixed, women like Wilson will keep walking away from a sport they love.
‘Disc Golf’
Disc golf—sometimes called frisbee golf, is a sport where players throw a flying disc (similar to a frisbee) at a target, usually a metal basket with hanging chains that catch the disc. The goal is to complete each hole in the fewest number of throws, much like traditional golf.
Instead of golf clubs and balls, players use different types of discs for driving, approaching, and putting. The game is typically played on outdoor courses with 9 or 18 holes, and players follow fairways and “par” like in regular golf.

Women Walking Out to Be Heard
Abigail Wilson is not alone. In recent years, walkouts by female athletes have become a desperate but necessary tactic to draw attention to their erasure. In American fencing, a female athlete was disqualified after ‘taking a knee’ rather than compete against a trans opponent. In pool, Lynne Pinches chose to forfeit a championship. In powerlifting, swimming, and cycling, similar acts of protest are mounting.
These are not women afraid to lose. These are women who know they cannot win — not in a game rigged from the start. And so they walk, because staying would mean endorsing a lie: that male and female bodies are interchangeable, that feelings override facts.
The backlash to these protests is telling. Female athletes are called transphobic, accused of bigotry, and shunned by their governing bodies. They are punished for asking for what every male athlete takes for granted — a fair competition.
Protests like Wilson’s are a warning shot. If sports bodies do not listen to the women in their ranks, they will lose them. And when women stop showing up, what’s left of women’s sport?
In pool, women are now competing for second place before they even chalk their cues. In disc golf, they enter tournaments under the shadow of unfairness and fear. In athletics, records are being shattered by biological males — and the women who speak up are punished while the system shrugs.
For decades, women fought for protected categories to ensure fair competition and opportunity. Now, those safeguards are being dismantled, not by better female players — but by men who claim to be women.
Sports are not just games. They are cultural mirrors. And right now, that mirror is cracking, showing us a reflection that no longer includes women.
What Comes Next?
The final in Wigan should have been a celebration of female excellence. Instead, it was a spectacle of ideological overreach. But moments like these are waking people up. The backlash, from the public and former athletes, shows a growing demand for change.
Women must be heard. Governing bodies must draw a clear line: sex matters. Self-identification cannot and must not override biological reality in sex-segregated sport. Legal frameworks need to be clarified to protect fairness — not just feelings.
Abigail Wilson’s stand, Lynne Pinches’ walkout, and the uproar in pool halls across the UK are not isolated. They are the early tremors of a movement reclaiming the ground women once won. The question now is whether sporting authorities will listen — or whether women will have to keep walking off the field to make their point.
Because the endgame of trans ideology in sport is clear: if left unchecked, it won’t just rewrite the rulebook — it will write women out of it completely.
