    I mean… it’s supposed to be a ‘beauty contest’ so why shouldn’t they compete?

    Not that I don’t think the entire concept of a competition over beauty is stupid, but they exist, so why not just see who wins?

      It’s funny because the original trans sports bans were justified by saying that they would have an unfair advantage. This beauty pageant ban is just transphobes saying that trans women are unfairly attractive lmfao.

          Then you put googly eyes and a little rhinestone pantsuit on it and stick a video up on…well, I guess YouTube wouldn’t take it.

      These contests are full of ideology, so a trans person has a significant advantage over the others. There aren’t enough heartwarming and sob stories in the world to compensate for that.

      On the other hand, I don’t really care if those kind of competitions are unfair. If they help trans people convey a message, that’s probably the best thing that can come out of them.

        Ah yes, the competitions currently banning trans women definitely have a positive bias towards them.

        Trans men pretending to be women aren’t women, they’re men.

        That’s what you meant, right?

        You’re right; men pretending to be women are drag queens, not women, trans or otherwise.

        Trans women are women, though.

            So?

            Nobody ever said they are female, afaik.

            Trans women are women.

            Biological sex is just a made up thing and there are no definitions that actually work universally for every human. Thats actually the scientific truth.

                You should stop refering to middle school biology and check out university biology. And maybe also stop refering to outdated knowledge that’s been disproven.

                There are about as much intersexuated humans as they are redheads.

                Lots of species only have “1 sex” since they reproduce asexually (including some neat lizards).

                Fungi went a bit overboards and you’d lack fingers to count most of them.

                It’s like imaginary numbers, stuff is always a little more complicated than you were taught in middle school :)

                Except for the hundreds of millions of species of lifeforms for which male and female biological sex is not part of their biology. But what do PhDs know about biology? they just scientifically study the core tenets of life.
