Events like this show the fear in people. Fear in those judges that felt if they did not vote for this person, they would be seen as bigoted, intolerant, and hateful. That they might be called out publicly. Canceled. Have their jobs threatened.

Beauty pageants are literally only about superficiality. If she was a hot trans woman very few people would give a shit (aka no one cares about Miss America anyways), but this is just literally a joke. Its so blatantly obvious the subversion of the event itself for a political statement. Come on now. All the other women have to be facepalming.

Fucking sickening how this is being portrayed as normal and healthy. Itā€™s not. Weā€™re now living in 2 different realities, the reality that you want, and actual reality. A man is not a woman, a woman is not a man. This coercion that if you speak out about this youā€™re a pos needs to stop. This puts actual females who are competing in this in a spot where they canā€™t complain or else the mob will attack them, even when they have every right to. That man isnā€™t even close to pageant worthy, but to appease a small group of loud individuals it was picked out of a pool of substantially better candidates. This is turning into a epidemic at this point, where the people who partake in this bs do it so they get a sense of feeling special because everyone panders to it, 80% do it out of fear of losing their jobs, 20% actually believe this cult. Western culture is turning into nothing but a clown show at this point.

Youā€™re a cultist who lives in an alternate reality, who thinks somehow believing youā€™re a different gender should put you on some sort of high ground over people who are actually said gender. This MAN has no business in a ā€œmissā€ America pageant. Just because it believes itā€™s now a woman doesnā€™t make it a women. Just because you want to accept it as a women doesnā€™t make it a women. Itā€™s a man thinking theyā€™re a woman, two totally different things. One is gender, one is a mental illness.

If weā€™re living in your reality everything is a social construct, weā€™re not going off of the previous 300,000 years, weā€™re just going off of the past decade. Gender has been attached to sex since the beginning of time, but somehow since people want to feel special and get special treatment/attention weā€™re going to change the way things have been done since humans were drawing in caves. If this is so normal and healthy why the massive age gap? If itā€™s not an ideology that is mostly formed in gen Z shouldnā€™t every age group have a similar percentage of ā€œtransā€? thereā€™s so many holes in this bs you must see it.

WPDE isn't even a NH station. Derry is a pretty heavily Republican leaning town and yet there's no local mention of this. No outrage on the town's Facebook page and Derry Republicans get triggered over the smallest things, so it would definitely be mentioned locally.

Perhaps because it was literally unsafe to be out as trans before now. It still is unsafe. I agree thereā€™s a sort of bandwagon thing happening but at least young people feel more free and safe to explore who they might be as opposed to generations past who had to fit into some narrow definition of what you should be or look like based on your sex organs. Fuck Iā€™m just a ā€œtomboyā€ type of woman and even I have spent my life being made fun of for being too masculine or being told by men Iā€™m not feminine enough for them because I donā€™t spend loads of money on makeup, nails, hair and plastic surgery. And I assure you I look quite womanly lol.

ETA: the percentage of the human population born as intersex is the same as those born with red hair. So even if you wanna narrowly define who ā€œshouldā€ be trans to the people born with ambiguous sex organs or both male and female sex organs or chromosomal abnormalities thatā€™s still a lot of people. They just arenā€™t hiding as much now because they feel like there is a place for them in the world to be accepted.

Do you have a single piece of data to support your unsafe claim and reasoning? I have yet to find one. When did letting your kids just take the wheel and make horrible decisions become the norm? Thatā€™s the total opposite of what parenting is supposed to be, youā€™re supposed to be the guide. The red hair thing is a good example but doesnā€™t explain the phenomenon of gen z. I would agree with you the box we expect woman to live by should be expanded, youā€™re indeed a woman, even if youā€™re not super feminine lol nothing wrong with being a ā€œtomboyā€. Iā€™d say theyā€™re definitely is something wrong with getting an automatic win in a pageant because you wanted special treatment, then getting that special treatment and forcing everyone to go along with it or get lynched in the streets for it by once again a small but loud minority. This is as bad as shit that happens in china, go to a corporate job and say you donā€™t agree with this and theyā€™ll fire you on the spot, this isnā€™t normal, and the fact people who donā€™t want to play this game are either having their tongues ripped out or being forced to say things they donā€™t agree with is sickening.

There is a plethora of data available on the internet about the rates of violence against trans people especially women. It was the same for decades for gay people. Iā€™m not going to do your job for you. If you really care to be educated you can easily find that data. I did say I agree with the bandwagon phenomenon. And itā€™s sucks that itā€™s not possible to have an actual dialog about this because you immediately get labeled as hateful. Like I definitely have views on this that many would say makes me transphobic. I never said I thought it was ok for kids to be taking puberty blockers etc. Although if a child is known to have been born intersex that is different. And many are. We just didnā€™t know it in the past and nobody was listening to these kids when they said they felt like they were in the wrong body. They were just assigned a gender and sex at birth based on what it looked like was the closest fit based on the outward appearance of the genitalia when a whole bunch of other stuff was going on internally inside the body. This isnā€™t a simple black and white issue at all that people wanna make it out to be. I mean what are you gonna do if you find out your kid has ovaries and that the small penis he has itā€™s actually an enlarged clitoris? Nobody wants to talk about these things but they are not as uncommon as people think they are. Or your daughter is found to have undescended testicles.

Thereā€™s no long term data because itā€™s a new field of study but ALL the data shows much higher rates of violence. And yes I agree that there is a component of it being a fad as do the few trans people I know. Iā€™m Gen X. And even trans people are afraid to voice these opinions because they get labeled as traitors to their community. Iā€™m just so sick of people not being able to have a conversation about things. Like the dumbing down of our society has reached a critical level lol. Like no way should trans folks be competing in sports with their chosen gender. There are biological advantages for people born male regardless of hormone level requirements. Bone density, limb length, muscle mass and structure and the list goes on and on. And in those cases I 100% agree with people being pissed. But Miss America? Lol give me a break. If people are butt hurt that their narrow definition of beauty is changing they can ya know, fuck right off or just ignore it.

It's one thing to see someone as just another human who is trans. It's quite another to pretend a man is actually a woman to the point of giving them money meant for women's scholarships. I'm not scholar of Orwell, but I'm pretty certain he's be against calling things what they obviously aren't.

Just imagine how it feels for those girls to be basically told they are less attractive than an obese man in a dress? It's not that long ago that this would have been a gigantic insult to women, now I guess it's seen as "progress".

Puzzlesocks t1_iw3bety wrote

A lot of the data we have is either slanted, misrepresented, or just factually incorrect. The trans suicide rate constantly repeated for instance is actually just suicidal thoughts. If the suicide rate was actually as high as they say then even despite the extremely small number of trans people the annual suicide rate would be many times higher and completely dominated by trans people. So much of this has become a horrible game of telephone. We need to forget this group identity nonsense and stop letting uneducated activists disseminate scientific studies for the public.
As far as this being a beauty competition so it doesn't matter... I mean, a lot goes into this and I don't want to write an actual essay. I'll just say that when one of the things you take pride in is intruded upon that most people feel threatened. I think these competitions are dumb and even potentially harmful to women's image in general, but letting an obese man in a dress win it is even more harmful because it says that women don't even have that beauty to begin with.
Is that harm good or bad? I tend to think bad because it denies the basic human experience, but the real answer is that we don't know the result of attempting to tweak these cultural levers. I will say you shouldn't ever feel bad for whatever you are naturally attracted to, we know now that it's just another inalienable characteristic. The point of a beauty contest though is to show what the plurality of people (at least within a sub group) find attractive. I can't imagine the target audience of this pageant is a group that finds him more attractive than these women, but I've been surprised before.

They are women, so they deserve those scholarships, but i'm pretty sure that's not a huge issue.

I'm pretty sure he would, he was pretty progressive, but we will never know.

They probably feel happy for that other girl, literally no one except you has an issue with that.

Yes, it is progress, trans women are being able to not only participate, but also win these competitions. The freedom of society can only be measured by how we treat its most stigmatized people.

Puzzlesocks t1_iw3rh46 wrote

Sure, we can just forget the literal mountain of evidence showing how men are not women /s. It's one thing to say that these scholarships are discriminating based off sex/race/whatever, but when you start trying to ignore the obvious reality then you're off your rocker. I just want to be clear that what you are pretending is true is completely and totally baseless. It's progress for sure, but more in the sense that cancer progresses.
I'm not going to waste time arguing with your ideological foundation, but I highly recommend you don't speak on these subjects until you have ANY proof of theory.
This pageant is a private affair I believe. They can run it how they want, but they can't control how people react to it, nor the actual reality. I can hold a competition to say blue is the best shade of red, but it doesn't change the fact that these are different wavelengths.

You consider trans women as "men" just like how racists considered black women as "too mannish" and subsequently segregated them.

>I just want to be clear that what you are pretending is true is completely and totally baseless.

Which part? Pretty sure it is backed up by most medical organizations that sex and gender are separate, so males can be women and females can be men.

>I'm not going to waste time arguing with your ideological foundation, but I highly recommend you don't speak on these subjects until you have ANY proof of theory.

I have a lot of experience on this subject, i used to transition :D

False equivocation doesn't work on me. If you want to try being manipulative, go do it to someone else. It doesn't help your argument nor provide any evidence. Sex and gender being separate is true, but just means guys can be feminine and girls can be masculine. It does not mean that these things are arbitrary categorizations.
I mean if you actually are trans, you should know better than anyone that we call these "treatments" feminizing and masculinizing for a reason. You aren't changing your sex, you are changing how you appear to others. You don't get to destroy other peoples protected categories without reprisal just because of your feelings.

That's just faulty naming, feminizing is a biological term, while being feminine is a behavior. Unless you think all feminine men have vaginas.

>You aren't changing your sex, you are changing how you appear to others.

You're changing a lot of your sex as well, sex is a lotta things, primary sex characterestics (chromosomes, hormones, organs) and secondary characterestics (body fat ratio, metabolism, hair growth, voice, breast growth, etc).

And every one of them changes with hormones and surgery except for chromosomes.

>You don't get to destroy other peoples protected categories without reprisal just because of your feelings.

Exactly, trans women deserve the same as cis women, because trans women are women, regardless of how you feel about it.

Puzzlesocks t1_iw4cny6 wrote

So, the Canadian link agrees with me except it makes a caveat that gender can change how it's expressed depending on different factors, again true. That's completely different from saying it doesn't exist. It doesn't mean they are arbitrary and can be changed at will to whatever you want. All it ends up meaning is that you are swimming against a torrential waterfall of evidence against you so you can try to convince society that men and women aren't different. Good luck with that.

​

The UK link you sent me is utopian dogma. I mean seriously? "SDGs are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030". They got 7 years to establish world peace, destroy capitalism, end climate change, and destroy observable reality. I guess I wish them luck?

​

As for the third link from the council of Europe... it specifically states that the new usage of the word gender is meant to fight against biological determinism. While I disagree with what some proponents of biological determinism state (in the same way I disagree on the trans issue, people drawing causation from correlation), you would be incredibly ignorant on these topics to think genetics doesn't play a role in literally everything about you. Your lack of ANY biological knowledge is actually mind blowing to me.

I know I won't change your mind, and I don't intend to respond again to a militant ideologue. I just want to suggest you really think about your actions and read The Art of War. The way you activist types are going about this is at best a 50/50 shot of self destruction, but more than likely you're just going to radicalize people to the point that whatever imagined violence you see now is going to turn much more real and much more harsh. Your dogmatic attitude is going to hurt untold numbers of uninvolved and very real people, and I intend to fight it so long as it exists.

But either a fear of being labeled a phobe, or a want to look progressive are the single only options here for why they won. That is reality, regardless if you see it for what it is.

Nobody is being left behind, but trust this type of bullshit is pushing people away from being as accepting as they would otherwise. This entire thread and any other on the matter have a majority of people calling it for what it is, and thats on a very left leaning platform btw.
