What’s Left for Women in Women’s Pool? Apparently, Not the Finals

Over the weekend in Wigan, England, the Ultimate Pool Women’s Series concluded with a championship match between two transgender women.

Yes, you read that right: the final match of a women’s tournament featured Harriet Haynes and Lucy Smith, two male-born transgender competitors. Haynes took home the title—again—continuing her streak of dominating female opponents ever since transitioning.

Some call this progress. Women who actually train, sweat, and compete in these events might call it something else: erasure.

Let’s be honest—how does a woman succeed in women’s pool today?
Step one: be born male.
Step two: declare yourself female.
Step three: walk away with the prize money.

This isn’t a game anymore—it’s a system rigged by radical gender ideology. And it’s not just unfair; it’s cruel.

Incredibly, Haynes is now suing the English Blackball Pool Federation for daring to suggest that maybe, just maybe, men—regardless of how they identify—shouldn’t be competing in women’s categories. It’s a familiar story: institutions try to protect fairness, and the activists come for their heads.

A competition designed to showcase and celebrate women ended with biological men seizing the trophies, the money, and the spotlight. And the 14 women who trained and competed with integrity? They were left to clap politely from the sidelines, once again robbed of what was meant to be theirs.

This is what the left calls “inclusion.” But it’s not inclusive—it’s predatory.

This isn’t just an isolated incident. It’s the result of a broader movement—championed by liberals—that prioritizes identity politics over biological reality. They’ve replaced fairness with feelings, and in doing so, they’ve pushed women out of their own arenas.

Women’s sports aren’t just under attack—they’re being rewritten. And if this weekend is any sign of what’s to come, the question isn’t who wins—it’s whether women will be allowed to compete at all.
