A female pool player received a round of applause when she forfeited a pool tournament rather than compete against a trans woman in the finals.
Lynne Pinches opted to walk away from the finals of the English Pool Association’s 2023 Champion of Champions Ladies on Sunday rather than play versus Harriet Haynes.
A video of the moment shows that Pinches and Haynes vied to see who would break.
Pinches won and shook hands with Haynes, but then walked toward the tournament official and apparently declared a forfeit.
Pinches proceeded to unscrew her pool cue and pack it up as Haynes raised her hands in disbelief. Realizing what was happening, the crowd loudly cheered and applauded Pinches for walking away.

Pinches’ brother, Barry, applauded his sister’s decision.
“Full credit and great respect to my sister Lynne Pinches yesterday for taking a stand and not playing in the biggest match of her pool playing life because she feels it’s so unfair to have to compete against a trans woman,” Barry Pinches wrote on Facebook, according to Daily Mail.
“I completely agree with her view that it is totally unfair to expect women to compete against trans women in pool or any other sport for that matter.” NOTE: This is borrowed
