Taylor Silverman claims she and other female competitors were disadvantaged by officials at the Red Bull Cornerstone Contest, where she placed second and received a $2,750 award.
Trans skateboarder Lillian Gallagher was awarded $5,000 for placing first and winning two separate divisions - money that Silverman says she should have gotten.
Silverman, who has been skateboarding for 11 years, said when she tried to reach out to officials to "do the right thing even if it's not the popular thing," she was ignored.
