A female skateboarder has vehemently criticized her sponsor company for forcing her to compete against a transgender woman in the Red Stone Cornerstone event.
Taylor Silverman called out Red Bull for allowing Lilian Gallagher (a biological male) to compete in the same division as her. Gallagher took home a grand total of $5,000 dollars in prize money in the qualifying, finals, and best trick categories. Silverman, who finished second in the first two categories, took home $2,750 in total prize money -- which would have been more had Gallagher not been allowed to compete.
Silverman posted her justified displeasure with the situation on Instagram. She also sent an email to Red Bull calling for people like Gallagher to not be allowed to compete against real women anymore. Unsurprisingly, the company still has yet to respond to her.
“This took away the opportunity that was meant for women to place and earn money,” Silverman said in the email. “What happened was unfair and, at the time, I was too uncomfortable to speak up. I understand that in today’s society even some women think this is acceptable, but I believe in doing the right thing, even if it’s not the popular thing. I now realize it’s really important for me to speak up and I’d like to schedule a time to talk.”

Had it twice. Both times it gave me palpitations. Hard pass.
How’d she vote?
Stop saying biological male. There are no other types. Don’t let them control the language. Ridicule is a very potent weapon. We should use it relentlessly.
“RedBull. Never bought it never will.”
I used to watch the Muay Thai matches on Saturday mornings, sponsored by Red Bull in Thailand.
The fizzy stuff they sell here is made under license by a guy in Austria. I’ve never bought it.
Now if you want to sell the Thai stuff, which is syrupy and non-carbonated, in the US, it’s under the Krating Daeng label.
I’m an M-150 fan, myself. Devotion. Courage. Sacrifice
(Australian) Sports drinks company Red Bull has dissolved its so-called “culture teams” and two (U.S.) executives responsible for injecting wokeness into the company’s policies and internal culture in response to pressure to support Black Lives Matter and adopt a progressive political stance.
Seems they may have some more firing to do. Some rogue US execs going off the farm?
The smart thing is to walk away from any competition that has a psycholically disturbed man thinking he’s a woman.
If all women did this.. the problem would go away.
there is a video at the boardr. About 6:45 in you can see the dude:

“how’d she vote” exactly!!!! If she voted against Trump, then she got what she asked for.
All the real women need to refuse to compete against the fake women.
In cycling they nipped it in the bud by refusing to compete against men.

Amen.
Other common cases of letting the left control the language, i.e., part of being “woke”. If you use these terms, you’re being subserviently woke.
Using the term “sexual orientation” instead of “sexual preference” is woke.
Using “gender” instead of “sex” is woke.
Using “Black” instead of “black” is woke”.
Using “Gender affirming surgery” instead of “genital mutilation surgery” is woke.
Using “Undocumented immigrant” instead of “Illegal immigrant” or “Illegal alien” is woke.
Promoting “equity” (equal outcome) instead of “equality” (equal opportunity) is woke.
Affirmative Action = quotas = discrimination = woke.
Referring to Mrs. Bill Clinton using the affectionate term “Hillary” is woke.
Quit your b*tchin’, Chicken Little! The women have demanded equality with men for generations, now. Same pay, and everything else.
You reap what you (your sisters) sow.
Red Bull Gives You Wings !
NOW Red Bull Gives You Balls !
Unsurprisingly, the company still has yet to respond to her.
Just imagine some guy being named greatest female athlete in the world in his chosen sport, without ever playing a single match because every single female competitor walked away at the start of the match and said, “I won’t compete against him. He’s a guy.”
And all of a sudden he’s the greatest female athlete in the world in his chosen sport.
Would people sit up and say there’s a problem? I’m not even sure.
Using “Gender affirming surgery” instead of “genital mutilation surgery” is woke.
—
indeed. “Gender affirming surgery” has to be one of the most Orwellian phrases ever cooked up.
Homeless is now ‘unhoused’. Apparently less hurtful psychologically to those that are in that circumstance. 😕 Add to your wokenista vocabulary. 😂🙌
Skateboarding is a female sport.
If males were doing it it would be like we did it in the 60s - steel wheeled child rollarskates nailed to the bottom of a 2x4
