Trans competitor beats 13-year-old girl in NYC women’s skateboarding contest
Transgender skateboarder Ricci Tres, 29, came under fire after beating out a 13-year-old girl for first place in a New York City contest.

Tres attempted to participate in the Women’s Street USA Skateboarding National Championships to aid in her bid to qualify for the Olympics but was rejected because she had too much testosterone, according to The Daily Mail.
The outlet said Tres took hormones to suppress her testosterone but still came in over the limit.
Tres served four years in the Navy and had three kids with her now ex-wife before becoming a woman, according to The Mail.
Is this fair? The trans is a military veteran who physically developed as a man before he transitioned to a woman.
If I was the parent of the 13-year old who came in second place, I would be livid.
