Does this seem fair to you? She certainly looks female to me.

If I hadn't known, I would have never guessed.

Is the pageant guilty of sexual discrimination? Seriously. I've seen many women who'd probably kill to look like she does. That's an irrelevant, stupid rule. In her mind she's a woman, she certainly looks like a woman, what's the problem?

 

[THROBBS]

Fascinating.

Much like anti-doping rules in sport, it seems that in beauty contests there should be anti-enhancement rules. yes? maybe?

Fake boobs? She has them, do most contestants?
collagen injections? ...liposuction?

But then...make-up? hair extensions?

Kooky world.

"Just because we disqualified her doesn't mean we don't love her"

Wow that sounds so familiar.

If they had disqualified her for body-modifications, they might have had a case.

Might have

I have no idea if there even *are* such rules.

Me either, but that's one of the reason they don't allow transgendered men to perform in professional or college-level sports, because they are taking testosterone, one of the ingredients in anabolic steroids.

Saw this on the news. Certainly fooled me.

Sure.
but beyond just drugs... as this is more subjective than (most) sports. Is she more beautiful than her. So I wonder about just the cosmetic surgery aspect.
face lifts, tummy tucks booty enhancements...etc etc..

I wonder, but don't really care.

She broke the rules

Rules say, you have to be a "natural born female". Shes not.

we are arguing the validity of the rules.

Seeing as the contest existed before post-op transgenders, many of us believe that discrimination is the only thing she is getting disqualified for.

A female beauty contest has a rule that says "natural born females only" and because the rule is old, you think its not valid?

It shouldn't be. There used to be rules that said that black men couldn't eat in certain establishments or on the first four rows of seats in the bus. Those rules are old, and they are MOST DEFINITELY not valid.

Because the rule is discriminatory. Human society changes, and that old rule does not reflect the changing reality of our society.

There were old rules that said that blacks could not do things whites did, and they were old rules too, and they got changed to reflect the new realities.


ETA: Jinx, C2BK!

There are also rules that say men cant compete in womens sports. Are you suggesting they are discriminatory as well?

She isn't a man.

And those are for purely physical reasons, capability. We do not let muscular professional wrestlers wrestle with high-school boys, and we don't let men perform in women's sports.

Are you a stickler for rules? Or should I just start calling you a homophobic pig?

 

[Stella_Omega]

...homophobic pig?

Correction, A transphobic pig.
We have no notion of her sexual preference.

No but she used to be.

Im a stickler for people doing whatever the fuck they want.

Its a rule, says "natural born female" . You know why they made that rule? Because they wanted it to be a beauty contest for natural born females. No matter what she does to the outside of her body she will always be, genetically male.

Thank you Stella. I sometimes get foggy on the terms.

Yup, transphobic pig. Can you please tell me what gender you are? I might need to update that to transphobic cunt.

Are you suggesting that because shes had physical alterations to her appearance, were I to test her DNA, it would now show up female?

God, now they're roaming the AH in a hate-based vigilante pack.

Who? The people who tend to disagree with you? Because that's always been the case.
