Popular Post Jingthing Posted July 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) 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.

GinBoy2 Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) 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 Edited July 13, 2023 by GinBoy2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They say woke and then they have no further argument. The insult is enough. Kind of like the word fascist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunLA Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I'm amazed people even have any contests based on looks. Nothing but marketing and an industry within itself. One of, if not the biggest when taking in all the products sold and used. Now everything is turned into a political/special interest platform, which of course, once again, leads to division. Seems to be a be a common thread in all things in the news. Y'all may want to give that some thought ... just a suggestion. They control the news, and they're winning ... ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disgraceful slap in the face to real women. HE does not deserve any congratulations, HE ought to be ashamed of HIMSELF. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rules allow them to enter, if the rules allow it why should they exclude themselves, there's no need for them to be ashamed if they compete & happen to win? Surely its the officials who make the rules that should make it exclusive to women only. Transgender contestants have been able to compete for the crown since 2012. From the OP link: "Thai businesswoman and advocate Anne Jakrajutatip, who bought the Miss Universe organisation in October 2022, also identifies as transgender." Personally I would prefer if she made a separate pageant for transgenders only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't doubt they also judge on wokeness and whatnot. Look at this photo. This is not IMO a beautiful trans woman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
