The wider extended issue is the objectification, exploitation and sexualization of children in these types of pageants, which everyone want to turn a blind eye to,
That's off topic in this thread though.
This thread is specifically about the unusual situation of biological males competing in a beauty pageant originally created for female participants.
If you start a thread about children and young women being exploited etc, in 'beauty pageants' then I'd certainly be interested in reading about it there, but not as an off-topic derailment in this thread.
Perhaps stay on topic instead? You won't seem to be an argumentative prick then🤪👍
I am not a prick I am a dick as in Columbo detective. lol
I find transgender bashing unacceptable and I will continue to call it out on every single thread that invites bashing.
Deal with it.
You forgot to answer this question
A transwoman is a man wanting to take part in female competitions.
Do you see the problem with it?
The problems I see with people and their questions here is bias and fear-based hate.

In 2012, the Miss Universe Pageant was owned by Donald Trump. At that time, Canadian model/actress Jenna Talackova, a transgender woman was disqualified from competing but this decision was overridden by Trump himself. The Miss Universe organization announced a policy change to allow transgender women to take part in all of its competitions starting in 2013.
[...]
The Miss Universe Organization is now owned by JKN Global Group CEO Jakkaphong “Anne” Jakrajutatip, a Thai billionaire and transwoman.

They are men, get it, men competing with women, what in the hell is that, just because you call yourself a "transgender woman" you are never a real woman.
The men dress in women clothing and thing in them is natural, at least women breast to begin with this man have none.
Get it, they are men, men, it should never happen, the men needs to leave us women along, you know the real women.

If someone has reassignment surgery they are not transgender. They transitioned. They are then a woman or a man by legal definition. It is then legally binding.
Jenna Talackova is a woman. She is not transgender. She has all female parts. Full transition.
With Rikkie Kolle noto sure. They have had gender-affirming surgery but that does not mean a full transition. It is a way to say they have had an operation but that does not equate to full. If that is the case, and the full transition has not taken place, they are a man.
It is not that hard to figure out or explain. However Kolle, I am POSITIVE they won because of an agenda. They were some very attractive women and Kolle looked like Bill Haders crackhead sister during that pageant
In any world men competing against women is wrong, just as women competing with men is. There is nothing fair about either.

I don't know if there is actual violence against women that is incited because of these contests. I don't know if any studies have been done or interviews with rapists have that coming out or not ... But I do know objectification of women in things like pornography DOES incite violence against women. So I suppose the beauty contests aren't too far removed from that.
