A 29-year-old biological male who identifies as a transgender woman beat out a 13-year-old girl for first place in a New York City skateboarding tournament on Saturday.
Ricci Tres, who also goes by Ricci And Tres, took the top title in the women's division of The Boardr Open, taking home $500.
In second place was Shiloh Catori, a 13-year-old girl who is 133 in the Boardr Global Ranks, which are based on performance in skateboarding competitions. Tres, by comparison, sits at 838 in the rankings.
Four of the six competitors in the tournament were under age 17, and the youngest was Juri Iikura, who is only 10 years old, came in fifth place.
Many on social media excoriated the tournament for the biological and age disparities between the competitors, including female skateboarder Taylor Silverman, who spoke out in May after having repeatedly placed second in skateboarding contests against biological males.
"I have been in three different contests with trans women, two of which I placed second," Silverman wrote in an Instagram post on May 17, which met with a barrage of negative comments. She went on to explain that the transgender competitor she lost against in a Redbull Cornerstone skate event took home $1,000 in qualifiers, $3,000 in finals and $1,000 in best trick.
"This totaled $5,000 of the prize money meant for female athletes," Silverman noted.

Man beats teenaged girl
That’s a gay guy stealing small coin by pretending to be a woman. He doesn’t give a rip what people think, because he’s a freaking f@ggot.
Hilariously bad skater. How he won anything is a mystery. Super bonus for the most ironic statement of the year “ Transitions aren’t my thing” LOl!!!
Calling him a trans woman is like calling a Yugo a Trans Am.
Lavender club member fakes it as a woman.
Not really relevant to THIS story, and a curious question: Is skateboarding a sport where the body differences between a man and woman are really THAT different?
I know things like soccer and swimming are dramatically different sports from on sex to the next. But does muscularity and “power” have that much bearing in a skateboard contest?
Mentally ill or merely exploiting a corrupt system for personal financial profit? He sounds like an opportunist.
Third to last paragraph of original article
When I was a kid, any boy who took pride in beating a girl in any physical activity generally dominated by boys was considered a putz.
His mother must be so proud.
A trans woman with nads is a man ... no execptions
liberals turning America more against them with each womens sporting event :)
No. Such. Thing.
I am honestly starting to think all the Trans crap is an attempt to move The Overton window.
Basically how it works is you push something WAAAAY outside the norm really hard in order to make things out of the norm but not at FAR out of the norm seem more acceptable by comparison.
By pushing the Trans things so hard... they are normalizing normal gays and gay marriage etc in the process by making those seem reasonable by comparison.
The theory is, once you have moved the window, it stays moved. Keeping you from losing the progress you have already gained.
They tried near the end to do the same with abortion, pushing for partial birth abortions etc in order to make 1st trimester abortions seem... reasonable by comparison.
