    Stupid Los Angeles 29-year-old trans woman beats 13-year-old girl to first place in NYC women's skateboarding contest

    By Jon Brown | Fox News


    A 29-year-old biological male who identifies as a transgender woman beat out a 13-year-old girl for first place in a New York City skateboarding tournament on Saturday.

    Ricci Tres, who also goes by Ricci And Tres, took the top title in the women's division of The Boardr Open, taking home $500.

    In second place was Shiloh Catori, a 13-year-old girl who is 133 in the Boardr Global Ranks, which are based on performance in skateboarding competitions. Tres, by comparison, sits at 838 in the rankings.

    Four of the six competitors in the tournament were under age 17, and the youngest was Juri Iikura, who is only 10 years old, came in fifth place.

    Many on social media excoriated the tournament for the biological and age disparities between the competitors, including female skateboarder Taylor Silverman, who spoke out in May after having repeatedly placed second in skateboarding contests against biological males.

    "I have been in three different contests with trans women, two of which I placed second," Silverman wrote in an Instagram post on May 17, which met with a barrage of negative comments. She went on to explain that the transgender competitor she lost against in a Redbull Cornerstone skate event took home $1,000 in qualifiers, $3,000 in finals and $1,000 in best trick.

    "This totaled $5,000 of the prize money meant for female athletes," Silverman noted.

    Christina Pushaw, a spokeswoman for Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., questioned from her personal Twitter account why 28- and 29-year-olds were "competing against children."

    Broadcaster Tim Pool wrote that biological males have a physical advantage in skateboarding because they "have higher centers of gravity granting advantages that cannot be removed with [hormone replacement therapy]."

    The Boardr did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment.

    The skateboarding competition comes amid a national debate over whether biological men have a competitive advantage over biological women.

    On the 50th anniversary of Title IX, the Biden administration has indicated that it wants transgender athletes to enjoy the same protections that Title IX originally afforded women when it passed half a century ago.

    Age is a non-issue. See contestant 4.

    I'm not convinced of the same "biological advantage" in skateboarding...re Tim Pool's comments, buff body-builder dudes would do better than skinny dudes.

    Also, second place has a higher global ranking. Just not her day today?

    If you ever watch competitive skate boarding, there is a huge difference between the men and women

    Fair enough. It's not so easy to say why though, without declaring that men are just more athletic. Catch 22.

    That is exactly why, men and women aren't the same

    Exactly. Name one athletic sport where women could outperform men. Several years back, the US Women's National soccer team got beat by a boys U-15 team. Granted, it was only a scrimmage, but they still lost to a bunch of teenage boys. All the women on that team bitch that they are super successful yet the men make way more money. And yes, when it comes to the men's side, the US men's team is mediocre when it comes to ranking against the best teams in the world. But that same men's team would DESTROY the US women's team. Why? Because the men are just superior athletically. It's a biological fact.
