So much for your 'experts and studies' bull[deleted].

You obviously learned nothing from the recent flu scam (ie. that 'the science' is whatever vested interests say it is).

Sometime ago it was said folks can't define "woke" but this is a classic example of Woke.

This is woke, an ugly guy wins a Miss Title beating out beautiful biological females.

I think its out of place and should not have happened, as in most sports the transgenders should have their own categories.

And what is stopping them from having their own categories?

An example isn't a definition.

Sex Redefined: The Idea of 2 Sexes Is Overly Simplistic

The article above appears to suggest there is something wrong with these individuals i.e. their development has somehow malfunctioned. I'm not sure if that fits with the wider woke narrative, but in any case, it amuses me that the movement you align with has somehow found 'something' we all missed in a system that's worked for humanity, until the turn of this century.

Wow, an eight-year-old opinion piece in a magazine. 

 

That's pretty strong.

Well that has finished the miss universe contest, seems that the organizers haven't learnt from the Bud Light fiasco.

I am not woke.

Woke is just an attack word now meaning anything right wingers don't like. They say woke and then they have no further argument. The insult is enough.

The ladyboy is ugly. The runnerup is cute. Doesnt matter man or woman or other they gave an ugly person the award based on wokeness. If the ladyboy had a pretty face then maybe they could justify it but they cannot.

Yeah, another once great institution ruined by the left. 

 

Albert Einstein or otherwise, it's still an eight-year-old opinion piece in a magazine, written not by an expert, but by a journalist.

Are Darwin's theories too old for you?

 

It's not an opinion piece.

 

Where is your evidence that Scientific American has any political bias? It's a science publication.

lets be honest if your born a male your male if your female your a female end of. Can a trannie have kids ? Biologically no so there not female.

Gender is not binary.

 

 

https://cadehildreth.com/gender-spectrum/

 

The gender spectrum is an understanding that gender is not binary, but rather a spectrum of biological, mental and emotional traits that exist along a continuum.

In contrast, the gender binary—also called gender binarism or genderism—is a belief that gender is composed of two distinct and opposite genders (women/men) in which there is not overlap.

Unfortunately for those who believe in a gender binary, it is not scientifically or medically correct. Gender can’t be binary, because it is a personal identity and is socially constructed.

Back to the pageant.

They allowed a transgender woman to enter.

She happened to win 

Unless you watched the contest which was presumably in Dutch you have no basis to label her win as biased.

The pageant could have just as easily not allowed her.

Believe it or not I would have no problem with that.

Transgender pageants exist.

I dislike people insulting the winner.

She was allowed to enter, she won -- the  thing decent people do is to congratulate her as any other winner.

This is where my liberal bleeding heart kinda breaks down in turmoil.

 

Whether it's a pageant or sports, I struggle with a trans woman competing.

 

I think I'm OK with pageants, since that's just beauty, but then you get to sports and not so sure about that
