Former USA Swimming official says trans swimmer is 'destroying' sport

Transgender controversy spills over into another sport...

Skateboarder Taylor Silverman rips trans competitors who win: ‘Unfair’
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 women’s events — saying it’s 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 last year’s Cornerstone competition, which skateboard blogs say was won by trans skater Lillian Gallagher.

Video posted to YouTube shows Gallagher taking home a trophy at the event in Lincoln, Nebraska — with Silverman and another skater on smaller podiums beside her.

The YouTube clip from December’s competition shows Silverman appearing somewhat sullen on the podium before shimmying her award and skateboard for the fans and competitors in attendance.

“A biological man with a clear advantage won the women’s division, best trick, and also won multiple qualifiers,” Silverman wrote in the message.

Gallagher, whom Silverman did not name, took home $5,000 for her performance, which included “Best Trick.”

“This took away the opportunity that was meant for women to place and earn money,” Silverman wrote to Red Bull Senior Sports Marketing Manager Erich Dummer.

“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.

“I’m proud of you for speaking up!” another skateboarder 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.

“‘I’m 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 don’t come forward when biological males enter their sports category.”

“Every hour, 100’s 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 she’s 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.

Neither Gallagher nor Red Bull appear to have responded to the criticism. Red Bull did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
 
So let's see if I got this correct. A transgender athlete who was originally male competes in women's mixed martial arts (MMA). The transgender athlete regularly brags that they enjoy destroying females and sending them to the hospital... and that they viewed all their female opponents as transphobic -- hence these females deserved to be brutally attacked and sent to the hospital with crushed skulls and other similar injuries.

Isn't it time to put an end to this nonsense?

'Should never have been booked' BBC forced to apologise following athlete interview
THE BBC has been forced to apologies following an interview with a transgender athlete who boasted about knocking women out.
https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1...s-athlete-interview-transgender-sports-debate

The broadcaster has been told it “must do better” after it handed a platform to an individual basking in the physical harm committed against their political opponents. One of the corporation’s radio presenters suggested his programme’s producers had not conducted enough research to discover the insulting language used by the athlete.

Fallon Fox, an American former martial arts fighter, announced in 2020 a fondness of severely injuring those accused of “transphobia”.

Fox, a biological male who was the first transgender athlete in MMA history, was so powerful in the ring that opponent Tamikka Brents (a biological female) was sent to hospital with a crushed skill and required surgical staples.

Fox wrote in a post on Twitter: “For the record, I knocked two out. One woman’s skull was fractured, the other not. And just so you know, I enjoyed it.

“See, I love smacking up TEFS [‘trans-exclusionary radical feminist’] in the cage who talk transphobia nonsense.

“It’s bliss! Don’t be mad.”

Fox included a winking and kissing emoji to the post.

Last month, Fox appeared on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.

This followed the decision for trans athletes who had gone through male puberty to be barred from women’s elite races.

Fox’s past comments were not mentioned on the show.

Fox’s appearance prompted a backlash from women’s groups.

Fair Play For Women, a campaign group which focuses on women’s sport, wrote to the BBC: “Fox should never have been booked and an on-air apology is required.”

Dr Nicola Williams, the group’s Director, also told the Telegraph: “If you knew that Fallon Fox was a trans fighter, you'd also know what Fallon Fox had said.

“It's either that the woke producers didn't do the basics with research, or they didn't care. This apology means nothing unless they also issue an on-air clarification.

“They must do due diligence on this topic by bringing on true experts, not just trans people for the sake of it.”

They need to put this "thing" in the ring with a few MMA males in the circuit and we can all watch how much fun he has.
 
I'm an NCAA champion female swimmer and we have to protect girls, women from Biden's destruction of Title IX
Biden would destroy Title IX and opportunities it gives female athletes to be treated as equals
https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/nca...rotect-girls-women-biden-destruction-title-ix

As one of the top swimmers in the county, I know achievement does not happen by accident. It takes work, dedication, perseverance and time. I learned this as a little girl, waking up at 4:30 a.m. to go to swim practice and then returning to the pool that afternoon to pursue my goals. I learned it as a college student who finished my career as a 12-time NCAA All-American, five-time SEC Champion and record holder, and two-time Olympic trial qualifier. Despite this, it was not until the last competition of my collegiate career that I realized how much I had taken for granted the achievements of Title IX.

Fifty years ago, pioneering women and men fought for Title IX’s passage. They knew their efforts would pay off by giving girls and women like me the opportunity to have our own sports category protected under federal law. The results have been profound. An entire youth sports ecosystem for girls has blossomed, giving countless females the same chance to develop skills critical to achieving equality in the workplace with their male counterparts. A recent Ernst & Young study found that fully 94% of female business executives participated in sports as girls — making sports participation the most straightforward path to business success as an adult.

Recently, the woke left has pushed a radical agenda embraced by President Joe Biden that threatens to undermine the entirety of Title IX by allowing males to steal the opportunities reserved for women. For me, this is not a theoretical issue, it is one that was forced in my face at the NCAA Championships. And I mean that literally.

Under Title IX, women are entitled to their own locker rooms so that we can be vulnerable and change in private. Yet at the NCAA Championships, I saw a 6’4" biological male exposing male parts in our women’s locker room. To be perfectly clear, the anatomy I and many other women were forced to view, confirms Thomas is a male. I asked the officials where I should change as I had no intention of undressing in front of a man. They informed me that there were no protections in place for me to change in a space that Thomas did not have access to. To summarize, the NCAA put the onus on the female to avoid undressing in front of a biological man with male biological parts who is sexually attracted to women. Let that sink in.

So, after having the privacy of my locker room taken away from me, I went to my marquee event, the 200-meter freestyle. Considered the most competitive event in swimming, I wanted to showcase my years of work and sacrifice in my final NCAA Championships.

Physiological development as a biological male yields tremendous advantages over biological women in athletic competition. On average, men have over a 10% advantage across the board on strength, agility, and stamina versus women in the same category. The male body is developed from the womb to be the physically stronger and more athletic of the two sexes …yes, there are only two.

To put real numbers on the female-male deficit in my race, 10% of the 102 seconds it takes to swim the race is 10 seconds which, not coincidentally, is exactly the difference between the men’s and women’s world records in the event.

So, with effectively a 10-second biological deficit, I tied Thomas to the hundredth of a second, which is relatively rare. Given this, you would think that the NCAA would recognize this incredible accomplishment and at least equally reward us for tying. Yet instead, they gave Thomas the trophy that day for "photo purposes" and assured me that mine would eventually come in the mail. The University of Pennsylvania and the NCAA then subsequently nominated Thomas for NCAA Woman of the Year, the highest accolade for females in all of college athletics.

I’m not looking for sympathy with this story, I’m looking for action. President Joe Biden has proposed unlawful rule changes to Title IX replacing "sex" with "gender" and ‘gender identity’. This is regressive and will strip away women’s spaces, safety, and opportunities — including legally allowing men who identify as women to participate in and destroy the integrity of women’s sports as Lia Thomas and numerous other male athletes have done. Enough is enough.

It’s time to take back Title IX and stand up and protect our girls and women. I was gifted Title IX by those who came before me, and I will fight relentlessly to give it to the young girls who have dreams to win at an elite level like I once did.
