This is one of those stories where you almost want to pound your head into a wall. Is it real, or is this actually happening?
Unfortunately, the answer is yes, as the transgender athlete debacle takes on a whole ‘nother level: a British “women’s” pool championship does not include any competitors who were actually born as females.
Sometimes there are no words to describe the insanity:

Two men will face each other for a women's championship title at the Ultimate Pool Women's Pro Series Event 2 tonight in Wigan, UK.

The transgender athlete craze has gotten to the point where you almost think it’s a late-night comedy skit:
In the 2024 campaign, Haynes ended things as the No. 1-ranked female Ultimate Pool Pro Series player, and it looks like that Haynes is now headed towards winning the championship again in 2025. Haynes also won the title in 2022, while being the runner-up the next year in 2023. (RELATED: Saints’ Khalen Saunders Holding ‘LGBTQ-Friendly’ Football Camp — Is This Really Necessary?)
Per the official website of Ultimate Pool, the champion gets 1,800 pounds, which is around $2,320. The second-place competitor receives 900 pounds, or around $1,160. The remainder of the top placements get 2,700 pounds, and that’s combined with 16 players total being paid. So in this case, the biological males will get the same amount of money as all of the 14 women they placed above.
In other words, this is an absolute travesty.

Like Lia Thomas, Haynes was utterly clueless as to why his involvement in beating female competitors was problematic:
In the interview, Haynes bemoaned that the English Blackball Pool Federation banned males from competing in women's events. Haynes was so taken aback that an organization wouldn't allow males to compete in women's events that Haynes sued the EBPF.
"I’ve never really considered myself a trailblazer. I’m just a woman who is trying to live my life, and all I want to do is just be treated the same as any other woman," Haynes told The Independent.
That all sounds nice, but the cold hard reality is that Haynes is not just another “woman who is trying to live my life”—like the hulking 6’1” Lia Thomas, he was born as a human male, and biology is a reality.
Trump was right with his executive order—appropriately titled, "DEFENDING WOMEN FROM GENDER IDEOLOGY EXTREMISM AND RESTORING BIOLOGICAL TRUTH TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT"—aimed at ridding our country of this noxious ideology, and though he has faced blowback from the usual leftist suspects, his effort to rid athletic competition from extreme—weird—transgender extremism was the right call. It’s obvious, however, that the fight is far from over, and one can’t help wonder if the UK is on its way to becoming a failed, forgotten empire.
Yes, it’s only a pool contest, but it’s emblematic of everything the formerly Great Britain has become. It’s far past time for them to change their script.
