A female pool player reportedly refused to compete against a trans-identified male opponent at the Women’s Champions of Champions Final in Denbighshire, Wales, yesterday. Lynne Pinches walked away from the table after being matched to play against Chris "Harriet" Haynes.

Love hearing the crowd cheering for Lynne, the bloke looks stupid holding his pointless, undeserved, trophy.

Good. More female sports athletes need to take the same stance. It isn’t fair. It isn’t inclusive. Start refusing and watch the power shift back to the players, not the policies.

That took balls...in a metaphoric kind of way. I applaud her for walking off. These dudes need to stay out of women's anything - sports, dresses, heels, restrooms, etc.

I applaud her but what is the solution here? He still got rewarded and she was essentially forced out of her own sport. Will we have to make our own everything all over again until the end of time?

I wish all real females would do this. The message will never be sent if they keep letting dudes play. Lynne wins this one.

Great job, Lynne.

Well done, Lynne. Principle before trophy is a far better prize anyway.

Good for her leading the way. This is the only way forward where men are being allowed into women’s sports. All the real women need to walk out en masse and that would be the end of it.

@Riley_Gaines_ Good. More women need to do this, it’s the only way. #TransWomenAreConMen

Harriet you are a cheater and not deserving of a win.
