Competitive contest girl skateboarder Taylor Silverman is still not done fighting after losing to a trans skater in a competition. She is using her platform to speak up for women competing in skate contests and sports in general.
Silverman is flipping out again - calling out Exposure Skate for allowing transgender skateboarders to compete in women's skateboarding events.
The "she/her/they/them" non-profit skateboarding event aims to empower women, trans, and non-binary individuals through skateboarding but Silverman is not having it.
Silverman states. "Exposure Skate setting a terrible example by allowing and encouraging males to compete in a contest that was supposedly created to empower women."
Ricci Tres, a transgender woman who faced backlash last time she beat a thirteen-year-old, placed third, winning a $2,000 cash prize in the current Exposure Skate event.
Tres appeared unbothered by the scrutiny of her victory, telling the Daily Mail back in July that she didn't hesitate to apply competitive pressure to her younger rivals.
"I'm not going to go and be easy on them because they're kids," the Navy veteran said.
Although the regular-footed girl skater received praise for fighting for her right as an athlete and a woman, her opposition calls her a sore loser and transphobic.
