email to Red Bull\u2019s Senior Sports Marketing Manager Erich Dummer. No response has been given by Red Bull.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am a female athlete. I have been skateboarding for eleven years and competing for several years. I have been in three different contests with trans women, two of which I placed second. At the last contest series I did for Redbull, I placed second,\u201d said Silverman in the message.<\/p>\n<p>She added, \u201cthe trans competitor who won took $1000 dollars in qualifiers, $3000 in finals, and $1000 in best trick. This totaled to $5000 of the prize money meant for the female athletes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI took $1000 in qualifiers and $1750 for second place, so $2750 in total. The girl who took third received $750. The girl who deserved $1000 for best trick took nothing along with whoever would have placed third.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI deserve to place first, be acknowledged for my win, and get paid. I reached out to Redbull and was ignored.
