American Thinker du jour - Worm Turning Edition
-
My name is Taylor Silverman. I 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 [sic — meaning men], two of which I placed second. At the last contest series I did for Redbull, I placed second. The 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. I 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. I deserved to place first, be acknowledged for my win, and get paid. I reached out to Redbull and was ignored. I am sick of being bullied into silence.

It's not that these sorts of anecdotes are particularly meaningful or heart wrenching. It's just that they're not less meaningful or heart wrenching than the anecdotes the left builds narratives out of that make people feel the right feelings to vote the right way.
