!!!
The last time anyone gave a fuck about a beauty pageant was in 2015, and that's only cause Steve Harvey said the wrong name.
Gimme a break with this faux uproar. Nothing is being taken away from cisgendered women.
i think this recent event simply lends itself to a larger conversation about trans women entering ciswomen's spaces
especially when it comes to things like sports where cis women have spent their lives training, only to have someone who is inherently stronger by nature to come in and establish new standards and records in said sport which ultimately affect the women who were born women.
its a very real and valid argument which is backed by biology/science.
it doesn't necessarily JUST have to be about this very specific instance guys
of course being born a man would typically be a handicap in a woman's
beauty contest.
not an upper hand.

but i can def see someone thinking "damn they're even getting pity/woke prizes at the pageants now, in addition to everything else they're involved in! 🙄"
this is more so the icing on the cake rather than the cake itself.
