      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.

      You’re either fabulous or you’re not. Has nothing to do with what’s in between your legs at birth or beyond.

      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.

          They aren’t biological women. There’s a huge difference between an woman grown up from 0, and a “woman” who had weird surgeries and medication much later. You can’t change scientific truth, no matter how much you cuss

            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.

              Oh fking hell. Biology is an actual science. It’s not religion, it’s not astrology, it’s not gender theory

              Biological sex, male and female, in any species, is one of the foundational truths of biology. You need to go back to middle school sir/mam

                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 And maybe also stop refering to outdated knowledge that’s been disproven.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.

                You are so objectively wrong… and fortunately for me: I don’t have to listen to you, and will now use that authority to make others not have to listen to you for you violated the civility rule of the instance!

            They are women, and always have been. They just weren’t born with the right body.

            If I were to magically change your body into a woman’s (I assume you’re a man but swap the genders if not), would you then think of yourself as a woman? Of course not! You’d feel a man in a woman’s body. How’s that so hard to understand?

              Women are women because they were born in to a female body.

              There is no “soul” that is born into the wrong body.

              Some people have gender dysphoria and that is sad and we should help them, but that doesn’t mean we should pretend that there is some magical essence of the “true” personality.

              That concept is utterly degrading and limiting ro women.
