Professional skateboarder Taylor Silverman sat down with me — calling in all the way from Israel — in an in-depth interview where Silverman explains how she was forced to compete against a transgender athlete.
Silverman shares her fears about the competition and her hopes about just wanting to have fun in a sport that she loves.
But having men compete in women’s sports had devasting consequences: Silverman—who placed second—lost a tremendous amount of prize money for having to compete against a man.
Silverman breaks her silence and explains the hateful comments she’s received for her beliefs about men and women sports competitions—which is incredibly unfortunate after hearing about how inclusive the skateboarding community actually is, according to Silverman herself.
In a last-ditch effort, Silverman reaches out to Red Bull, who had organized the competition, saying that she simply wanted a conversation with them.
Months pass, with no answer from Red Bull. But that all changes…
There’s so much to unpack in this interview with Taylor Silverman, so don’t miss out and watch it now!
