Lebronwon 05/20/22 12:26:45 PM #1:	https://nypost.com/2022/05/20/skateboarder-taylor-silverman-rips-trans-competitors-who-win/ A female skateboarder is flipping out at transgender athletes who are allowed to compete in womens events saying its costing her thousands of dollars in prize money. I am sick of being bullied into silence, Taylor Silverman, 27, complained on Instagram Wednesday, already landing more than 17,000 likes, as well as a flurry of attacks accusing her of being transphobic. Silverman, from Kalamazoo, Michigan, complained that she has competed in three different contests with trans women, two of which I placed second. She shared a letter she wrote to Red Bull complaining about the unfair competition she faced at its Cornerstone competition, which skateboard blogs say was won by trans skater Lilian Gallagher. A biological man with a clear advantage won the womens division, best trick, and also won multiple qualifiers, Silverman wrote in the message. This took away the opportunity that was meant for women to place and earn money, she wrote to Red Bull Senior Sports Marketing Manager Erich Dummer. In her post, Silverman detailed how Gallagher whom she did not name took home a total of $5,000 of the prize money meant for the female athletes. I deserved to place first, be acknowledged for my win, and get paid, she said, complaining that she was ignored by Red Bull. Silverman received a steady stream of supportive messages, with some calling for boycotts of events where trans skaters competed. Im proud of you for speaking up! another sketboarder told her. Live your truth, and always stand for what you believe in, just as everyone else should. However, she was also thrashed in a flood of angry messages accusing her of being a sore loser and transphobic. Im not a transphobe says transphobe, after tagging every transphobe they can think of in their transphobic post, one person wrote. Piers Morgan who interviewed Silverman on his new TV show Thursday said that the abuse that she got from the trans community was appalling. Blogger Christina Buttons tweeted that the amount of vitriol Taylor Silverman has received is exactly why more women dont come forward when biological males enter their sports category. Every hour, 100s of abusive comments come in for every few offering support, she noted. She called Silverman incredibly brave for speaking up to defend her sports category. Not many can tolerate the onslaught of abuse shes endured. Some of the support she did get, however, should help her with blogger Tim Pool saying his Timcast will gladly cover the difference and grant Taylor Silverman the $2250 difference lost. We will also be willing to cover the total lost revenue for the female athletes who would have placed higher were it not for the male athlete, Pool tweeted. --- Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7 <cite>Lebronwon posted [p:965178574] in Skateboard...

They dont really care either. The question is fairness. Since not everyone has reached an agreement on if trans women competing in womans sports (a category that was already created to give them a shot to win things, mind you), people will react differently. If you dont think its unfair, you probably would just say the lady in OP was outperformed. If you think its unfair, then youd be empathetic to her situation. This isnt a Everyone is Evil! thing.
