Professional skateboarder, Taylor Silverman, speaks with Mercedes Schlapp on the infiltration of biological males disguised as transgender females in women’s sports and other areas constructed exclusively for women. Silverman and Schlapp’s conversation comes after Bud Light, Nike, and other companies selected a transgender female Dylan Mulvaney as their spokesman.

Silverman and countless other women lost out on accolades, sponsorships, and pay to transgender females who placed first in major competitions and qualifiers. After experiencing this in three different settings and placing second to three different individuals, Silverman started to ask questions. She found that one judge she reached out to actually agreed with her but was unwilling to voice his perspective. As for Red Bull, the sponsor of the competitions, the company ignored Silverman’s inquiries into and concerns about their transgender policy. Instead, Silverman received an onslaught of abuse and bullying online for standing up for herself and for all the women competing in a still male dominated sport.

“I think it’s actually really important to speak up because the longer that people remain silent, the longer the lie can go one that you’re not the majority, those of us who have common sense about this issue. I understand the fear, but also I think the fear of what will happen if we don’t use our voice on this issue should be greater than the fear of losing bad friends, or losing a sponsorship, or being bullied on the internet,” Silverman states.

She believes the issue really should be a non-partisan issue and laments that the Democrat Party adamantly makes it into a political issue. For Silverman, the issue of transgender ideology is harming both women and children and encroaching on the spaces and rights that women fought to have created to allow for their success. She hopes to embolden other women to join her in defending their opportunities and safety.
