But not everyone thrilled, "A biological man with a clear advantage won."
A little over a week ago, surfing’s first-ever transgender competitor Sasha Jane Lowerson mowed through the women’s division of the Western Australian longboard titles, winning the open gal’s crown easily.
A West Oz title wasn’t new for Lowerson; three years earlier she’d won the men’s division as Ryan Egan.
The triumph was a sweet return for Lowerson, howevs, who said she had been real close to killing herself and had considered giving up surfing entirely.
Inspiration, terrific etc.
Now, video of a Red Bull skate event from last year has surfaced showing transgender skater Lillian Gallagher giving hell to all comers, winning the qualifiers, the women’s event as well as best trick.
At the Red Bull Cornerstone skate contest in Nebraska, Gallagher won a total of five thousand dollars, a thousand bucks for winning the qualifiers, three gees in the final and another grand for the best trick.
A triumph of the will as well as a much needed kick in the brains to the CIS normative patriarchy and so on.
Not everyone was thrilled, howevs.
“I am done being silent… a biological man with a clear advantage won,” Silverman wrote, later posting on IG.
The issue of biological advantage aside, a question: why do men who transition always look a million times better as gals than men?
For no better example see the switcharoo of Bruce Jenner from feeble old man to sexy in candy-striped shorts Caitlyn Jenner, able to snare even the straightest CIS man with that bony behind and melon-red tongue.
Close your eyes and see it, doggy! Oooeee, I can see it daddy!

They keep trying to say everything is equal. If that even remotely true, why doesn’t anyone hear of a trans girl winning a men competition. Because they can’t. The trannies need to have their own competition.
Ovaries, the ability to get Pregnant and give birth are reasons why they shouldn’t compete in a female gender division.. it ain’t rocket science.
Also: fuck Beach Grit for posting pictures of Lillian Gallagher.
She was called out by some kooky sore loser and didn’t ask for, nor deserves, becoming worldwide news because some girl who can’t ollie up a curb feels she’s owed several more thousand dollars on top of the $3,000 she already received for her absolute beginner-level skills.
She’s not commenting on it and has gone private on Instagram so maybe media outlets and dumpster fires like this place has become should respect her right to privacy?
Taylor Silverman has video on her instagram page of her doing some pretty poor skateboarding. Seems like she should practice more or not complete.
Oh, and she also has a photo on her Instagram proudly showing off her 2nd place result in the men’s intermediate division.
From what I understand, the comp series was promoted as being inclusive, and Taylor knew ahead of time (by her own admission) that she was competing against a trans competitor.
If she was unhappy with the situation she shouldn’t have even showed up, but I guess she’s all for inclusivity until it affects her personally, but even that’s not the case, because she entered and competed, so she’s all for inclusivity until it means she loses.
If she cared at all, she would have refused the prize money, or taken that money and donated it to some bullshit TERF cause, but she didn’t. She emailed Red Bull a bunch of dollar amounts that every single person won and asked that in future can they not allow people to compete that are likely to beat her.

From now on, I want you to call me Loretta!
Taylor identifies as an athlete (see her IG profile), despite being 27, and there being hundreds upon thousands of young girls around the world that skate WAY better than her. She should be careful about who she’s throwing stones at, identity-wise. As I said to White Snark, anyone that sucks up to the right-wing culture war orchestrators (she tagged Ben Shapiro(!) amongst others), can tell their story, and take their fucken grift, walking.
chaturbate?
You’re very crook DR,…pft! Better looking as women than men ya say? Have a look at yourself in the mirror and say that sentence again
Still holds true!
Did my time with them yrs ago, def not paying for it now
choke og
From the Chicks with Dicks Department brought to you by Transgrit…
You know given all the current transgender bruhaha, I think its timely someone pointed out that Derek Hynde has been looking like someone’s lesbian Auntie for years.
You don’t have a newbie badge, meaning you know how this place works. DR and Chas are just getting started on transitioning into these types of articles.
So what does Laird have to say about transgender women in the water, and them not having periods? Wouldn’t he see this as a way to protect from shark attacks?
Before the surgery do they sit down to pee?
I’m just curious, but is there a CSI normative patriarchy also?
Only straight white males can solve crimes?
Horatio Kane?
*cis know your pronoums bitch!
Surprised she didn’t play the suicide card. Seemed to work well for Sasha. Maybe she’s saving it for the next event when the anger really ‘ramps’ up.
CIS gotta check our privledge?
Cheating plain and simple. Banned from all competitions with actual women in is the judgement call. Get your own fuggy event or bog off back to whence you came. There will be a free counselling service available at the back of the courtroom for those of you that can not face up to this decision and to help you deal with the uncomfortable truth. Cut.
someone needs to have a chill, just sayin’
Don’t go ahead with your transition Dezza, you’d make a fuckin’ ugly woman, all boofy and beardy, more Bluto than Olive Oyl, with a jaw so square you’d have Clutch Cargo shaking at the knees in a back alley…
Nice tan skin tho
the bikini mark *sigh*
I would be the exception to the rule, yes.
You could win the CT Women’s tour DR…. go for it.
Winner- Lillian Gallagher *
…used to be Gallaghim.
I see what u did there, clever
