A 29-year-old transgender woman beat a 13-year-old girl to take home the top prize in a skateboarding contest in New York City, reigniting the debate over whether new inclusivity pushes create an unfair advantage in women’s sports.
Ricci Tres, 29, a transgender skateboarder, won a women’s competition in New York City, beating a 13-year-old girl.
Ricci Tres, from Los Angeles, who was born a man but now identifies as a woman, won the women’s division of the Boardr Open street skateboarding competition and a $500 prize, with 13-year-old Shiloh Catori, from Florida, coming in second and taking a $250 prize.
Four of the six finalists were under the age of 17, with the youngest being 10-year-old Juri Iikura, who came in fifth. At 29, Tres was the oldest contestant.
Tres is 838 in the Boardr Global Rankings, compared to Catori’s 133 ranking.

The transgender athlete’s victory sparked an outrage on social media among critics, who blasted Boardr Open for allowing a much older competitor assigned male at birth to face off against biological females — many of them more than half her age.
Skateboarder Taylor Silverman led the chorus of discontent, writing in an Instagram post: “Male wins women’s finals and money at Boardr Open NYC presented by DC today. My story is not unique in skateboarding.”
Silverman, who has been skateboarding for 11 years, previously complained on social media that she had lost to transgender rivals twice, including at the Redbull Cornerstone competition in May, when she missed out on $5,000 in prize money by coming in second.
Four of the six finalists in the Boardr Open were between the ages of 10 and 17, with the youngest contestant coming in fifth.
“I deserved to place first, be acknowledged for my win, and get paid,” she wrote. “I reached out to Redbull and was ignored. I am sick of being bullied into silence.”
Silverman’s post from May 17 drew a mixed response, with some users fully supporting her stance, while others accused her of being a sore loser, with one commenter writing: “lol or you could just … be better at skating & actually win the already fair contest?”
Christina Pushaw, a spokeswoman for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, questioned the age disparity among the Big Apple contestants.
Female skateboarder Taylor Silverman has slammed the decision to allow transgender women to compete alongside biological females.
“Why are 28-29 year olds competing against children?” she wondered in a tweet.
The controversy sparked by the skateboarding contest comes amid a broader national conversation about whether male-to-female transgender athletes have an unfair competitive edge over biological females.
The issue came to a head in March, when University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas became the first transgender women to win the NCAA’s Division I swimming championship.
Last week, the swimming’s world governing body, FINA, banned most transgender female athletes from competing in all major events, including the Olympic Games

Emily Osment’s Pseudo Sex Tape
It may be hard to believe but at one time us virile Proud Boys were big fans of Emily Osment… Of course that was back when she was still of a proper breeding age during the filming of “Hannah Montana” and “Spy Kids”.
Unfortunately for Emily, she never did seize the opportunity and submit herself to MAGAism when she had the chance. Now she is a washed-up barren old whore with no hope of ever getting her sex holes slammed by a mighty Proud Boys meat scud, so it is no wonder that she is lashing out by baring her blasphemous female body like this…
Of course whenever us righteous Proud Boys witness such a sad display we can not help but think of Emily’s brother’s famous “I see dead people” line in “The Sixth Sense”, for when Islam finishes conquering the Western world the coming purge is going to be epic.
