[–] stanleytweedle@lemmy.world 15 points 3 years ago* (2 children) 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? permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Neve8028@lemm.ee 20 points 3 years ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Sivar@lemmy.world -5 points 3 years ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 years ago* Ah yes, the competitions currently banning trans women definitely have a positive bias towards them. permalink fedilink source parent
