How trans people compete in sport is a valid debate so is the bathroom/locker room discussion. I wasnāt making statements about those situations but I see why you wanted to steer the discussion there.So, let's see if I have this right. If you were a young female athlete who had dedicated yourself for YEARS to your sport, and made it to the Olympics, you would WANT to have a biological male take away your dream?Itās simple principles of human decency and how to treat others. Who are you or who is any of us to tell others how to look, think or who they can love. This is just basic golden rule stuff but apparently and hypocritically conservatives want to control these things about people who experience life differently than the typical straight Christian drone experiences it.It might come down to which pageant garners the most viewers. I havenāt watched a beauty pageant for many years, but I assume the major networks airing them still care about ratings above all else.
In the name of providing fair treatment for all, there should be pageants for transgenderās separate from bio female contests. That would be a fair contest without the scores being influenced by the judges wanting to make a broad social statement. They (judges, executive producer, possibly networks) politicized this event to make it about a transgender statement. As the winner stated āto be a trailblazerā, but they yet again (think girls bathroom issue in public schools when the use of a gender neutral bathroom as a solution was rejected) making more people uncomfortable unnecessarily.
Fair contests for females, whether that be running track or in a pageant, have nothing to do with making social change statements. That changes the entire equation, reeks of placing a social agenda above the entire contest, and likely influenced the outcome.
Okay, let's look at that. By your own admission, you didn't care about beauty contests until a trans-woman won one.
And you are upset that the people running them made a controversial decision to garner attention and ratings?
Here's the thing. If you didn't tell me that this was a transwoman, I'd never know the difference.

Yeah, it took a lot of surgery and hormones to get her there... but the same can be said of any of the other bleach-blonde, surgically enhanced, anorexic contestants in these things.
If you are really looking to award "Ms. Body Mutilation, 2021", then why not go all out?
But 99.9% of these weirdos don't look like that. They look like this.

You are correct. Only those with tons of money for extensive cosmetic surgery look like the pageant fruitcake . . . which is also true of women themselves, by and large.
I get the feeling that a lot of leftists who are gabbling on about "transgenders" don't actually know any, and therefore are talking mostly about their own idealized fantasies of what they're like.
You talk about the golden rule but are far too stupid to apply it.
