"The first time I lost to a trans man, I thought people would recognize it was unfair and speak out. The second time, I thought, ‘Someone has got to do something about this!’ The third time, I realized: I am somebody. And so, I spoke up."

In a May 11 Instagram post, Silverman recounted losing first place in the 2021 Red Bull Cornerstone Contest to Lillian Gallagher, only the latest instance where she had gone up against transgender competitors.

"I am sick of being bullied into silence," Silverman wrote in the post, which also included a screenshot of a concerned email she sent to Red Bull. "A biological man with a clear advantage won the women’s division," Silverman wrote to Red Bull sports marketing manager Erich Drummer. "This took away the opportunity that was meant for women to place and earn money."

Red Bull never responded to her email. But the trolls did.

"This argument is transphobic as fuck and shows what type of person you are," one commenter wrote. "Hopefully you give up on life soon since you’re bad at everything," added another.

Soon, the hateful comments began popping up on Silverman’s other posts.

My feeling on this issue that most republicans AND democrats think this is ridiculous

However, the fraction of democrats that side with this crap are really loud and outspoken.

I could be wrong

She was on Tim Cast a while back. Seemed like a pretty normal uninformed person. Not extreme in anyway, just not political.

You should give her credit for speaking up despite great personal cost when she was confronted with something wrong. I’d take that over all the posts on here bitching but nobody doing anything.

I think this board is 95% tech people working for woke companies. How many of you have said anything to HR when they organize some pride party? How many have asked a co-worker why they are putting their pronouns in their bio? Thought so.

As long as they don't force me to add mine.

He. Him.

Count Biden in that camp that pushes transwomen into women's sports.

Maybe, but she is only speaking up after she was twice kicked out of the running by bio males. Not much to lose here.

As a contractor, I don't care. This is a waste of company resources and simply damages the corporation. I don't care if the company I work for is stupid or not, although it annoys me.

Corporations engaging in this shit are at a disadvantage with respect to companies that do not.

What I DO care about though is when the company enforces polices I did not sign up for on me, for example, requiring me to get a vaccination which doesn't have any efficacy - at best.

The way she explained it on Timcast the first two times she either didn’t actually complete against the tranny or it wasn’t for money. She’s a small time skater who just competes in small regional competitions for prizes of a few thousand. Not rich at all, just doing it for fun.
