Female Skateboarder Speaks Out Against Trans Competitor

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.”

Agreed.

We also need to stop using the term “gender”. Gender is a meaningless term, because it is completely subjective.

The government closed down the places they belong.

They were called "Insane Asylums".

Using “Undocumented immigrant” instead of “Illegal immigrant” or “Illegal alien” is woke.

I prefer "illegal alien" or "illegal invader." The term "illegal immigrant" makes it sound like they are staying.

It is my hope that in his second term President Trump, enabled by GOP majorities in the House and Senate, makes illegals a priority. I want to see the wall built, and I want to see the illegals hunted down and deported. Confiscate any possessions they have to pay for the cost of their bus ticket home.

Did she go to the Women’s March to protest ‘sexist” Trump being elected (which were filled with the same people who would have lined up to perform oral sex on Bill Clinton)?

Energy drinks are amongst the worst shyt in the world. Sugar and caffeine and God knows what else. They don’t give energy, they rob it.

Real people would... There’s no such thing as transgender or any other identity, it’s a psychological problem known as gender dysphoria... a physical impossibility.

All of these identity freaks should be institutionalized as well as anyone who supports them or indoctrinated them.

Male, female that’s all there is. Two genders which equivalent to 2 sexes.... That’s it.

There’s an easy fix to all tranny sports issues:

Scrap the Men’s Leagues and the Women’s Leagues and replace them with X Leagues and Y leagues. A simple blood test will decide which league a person competes in.

Science, Baby!

Good Lord! I kind of heard about this this morning on Fox News, but I didn’t catch enough to realize it happened one month ago.
