“A man tried to enter the women’s division and the American Longboard Association said nope…”
The tide, as they say, appears to be turning against transgender surfers competing in the women’s div of surf contests after American Longboarding founder Todd Messick said no to T-Girls.
“It’s really this simple,” said skateboarder Taylor Silverman. “Contest organizers just say no. Within one day of being made aware of this nonsense it was announced it would not be tolerated. This is the way. This is the future. This is the return to normalcy and sanity.”
Silverman hit the headlines when she lost a skateboarding contest to a transgender woman. She argued that allowing transgender women to compete against biological females in sports is unfair due to potential physical advantages. Silverman’s stance has been met with both support and opposition, with some people applauding her for standing up for women’s rights and others criticizing her for being transphobic.
In a message posted to X, Messick said:
“It was brought to my attention yesterday that there’s a transgender athlete that’s entered into the women’s division and it threw me completely off guard. I didn’t realize I was going to have to address this just this soon, only into our second contest. But I do want to make clear that our policy is very much in line with the ISA. You’re welcome to go online, I’m going to post some things there, but right now we’re going to support biological males and biological females in their divisions respectively. If you were born a female, you enter in the women’s. If you’re born a male, you enter in the men’s.
“You guys can live however and whatever you want to do in life. That’s not for me to decide, but it is for me to decide what’s fair and not fair for the American Longboarding Association. So, that being said, we’re going to stick to our guns. I want to offer an equal playing field for all athletes and that’s the stand we’re taking so I hope that everybody respects that and allows us to just do our thing. This whole thing is about traditional longboard surfing and supporting that so that’s what we’re here to do.”

Just as Rip Curl pivoted heavily into the transgender surfer market a few months back only to panic after a customer backlash and delete a post celebrating inspirational T-girl Sasha Jane Lowerson, women’s sports is following a similar trajectory.
What looked good on paper, tolerance, love, acceptance and so on, delivered unfair outcomes and women quitting their chosen sports instead of competing against biologically superior T-girls.

New studies? This shit was figured out in a cave thousands of years ago. This transvestite bs is just divide and conquer, on steroids.
Is that the cover of the new TransWorld Surf?
Funny, given women’s longboarding is possibly the only sport on the planet where being a bio man has no real advantage. Although she could Hang 11 instead of 10.

The floral moose knuckle. I feel like I have a hair in my throat I cant get out.
You saw moose knuckle? Must have been looking reeeeally closely at Sasha’s crotch.
Moose Hoof perhaps….

Is that Bruce Irons in the yellow tee?
Rehab done him wonders
Can of worms for sure, but I’m imagining it will look cool her paddling out with the men as a woman , who was a man but isn’t anymore,

“Donald…can I please enter your Atlantic City Surf and Beauty Contest?”
Kelli Slater needn’t worry. He can still join the women’s WCT next season.
For the purposes of athletic competition, what you identify as, doesn’t determine what your body is.
The way to solve this is pretty simple. Have a Women’s division and an Open division.
Is the gun shaped hand in the mouth foreshadowing?
He’s such a tease.
No surprise that people who think they still surf in the 50’s also think they live in the 50’s
Semenya was a hermaphrodite. Sasha isn’t.
Are you enjoying the sicksties
Uh, trannies seem to be very attached to 1950s gender stereotypes. That includes the picture at the top the the article.
The rest of us live in a world where clothes, job roles, hairstyles, and other ways people present themselves can be totally gender neutral if they wish. It’s not the normies who think they live in the 50s.
Bar the ‘normies’ that wish that God still existed etc etc.
Even they don’t act out the comical gender stereotypes of 1950s TV the way that trannies do.
A good friend of mine years ago has gender dysphoria long before it was cool. Went through counseling, decided to go all the way through surgery.
It wasn’t performative.
Everyone in the public eye today acting out “trans” is performing, in ways that both look stupid, and that insult the few people who aurally suffer from this painful mental condition.
Aaah cmon, perhaps there is a degree of theatre but good for them for having the balls. Ask your friend, the only thing causing the mental pain are the angry normies who love to hate. It’s proven that kids who go through transition before the hate has a chance to bite are as well adjusted any CIS person could be. That from an Endocrinologist friend who has assisted with dozens of transitions.
Taylor can barely skate. I can’t believe she got on the podium in that contest at all. Here’s an article with some semblance of journalism in it that interviews people who say they were surprised she got second and that she wasn’t upset at all at the time of the contest but only spoke about it six months later. There’s a video highlight where you can see how bad she is: https://www.vice.com/en/art…
Let’s settle this with a cage fight. Traditional American longboarding’s biggest hard man – Joel Tudor versus Sasha! My money is on Sasha!
100%! I’ve witnessed some gay on gay fights @ the Endup after hours club SF. Fakas can scrap!
Always be respectful to the trannies in Thailand even if they gross u out. They are street fighting hell.
Why would anyone want to fight trannies in the streets of Thailand?
A reef cut left untreated killed a guy I knew back in college. Think of what it will do to you if a Thai street tranny breaks skin.
In Pattaya, certain areas they are psycho. Some nights you walk thru, and you just have to fight some of them. Cops will arrest you, just to get you out of there.
Did you just go there to see the fights?
Was where you endup at after the bars close and you’re high on cocaine.
True that
My money is on Joel. And I’d want to watch the pre fight trash talk.
Joel would wrap Sasha up like a pretzel…
Competitive traditional longboarding is fruitier than sucking off your best mate on a long Indo boat trip and thinking that he’s going to return the favour after he has spilled his reserves down your gullet. Best to 69 that stuff like the Mens World Tour.
Xox
Mate, I said I would return the favor and you can throat fuck me all you like, can you just stop fucking hounding me. And remember, cunt… what happens at super suck, stays at super suck.
I have to go through alotta bullshit to comment here (no script b.s mainly)
But it’s worth it for this comment alone. 🤣🤣
Haha fucken hell you went above and beyond!
Xox
Only for you xox
🎹🎤”For your eyes only, only for you..” Sheena Easton…Holey F’ing heck girls. When’s the engagement potty. 😬👨🏼🌾
Let’s look at the positives; traditional longboarding seems to be at the vanguard of something for once. Good on you traditional longboarders!
Whaat trannee traish.
