Skateboarder Taylor Silverman doesn’t believe the attack on Riley Gaines following a speech to students about saving women's sports will hinder their defense of fairness in women’s sports.
Competitive skateboarder Taylor Silverman says shes not afraid to speak out against biological males in womens sports, in spite of the assault last week on her friend Riley Gaines.doesn’t believe the recent attack on former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines following a speech to students about saving women's sports will hinder their defense of fairness in women’s sports.
Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines gained prominence for speaking out when she was forced to compete against transgender swimmer Lia Thomas. "Nobody should have to go through that. Protesters were getting physical with her," she continued."People have the right to protest peacefully and to speak their mind. And Riley, I think, would have been more than happy to have a civil discussion and answer questions. But unfortunately, she wasn't given the opportunity to do that. But she's very brave, she's very tough. And I think this is only going to motivate her to keep going.
"This does not deter me. This assures me that I am doing the right thing," she said Friday on"Tucker Carlson Tonight.""This will not silence me. When they want me to be silenced, it just means I need to speak louder."
