It's their competition, and they want it to be between people who are biologically women, I don't really see the problem here. It's unfortunate for her, but I imagine she didn't disclose the information from the start and it's obviously something that could raise either interests or concerns. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against transgendered people, but when you're running a contest for one gender you shouldn't be obligated to include them, and I'm sure she couldn't have been naive enough to think that it wouldn't matter to the people running the competition. <cite>AdditionalPylon posted [p:955002] in Canadian M...

OctilIery 03/26/12 11:34:00 PM #40:	*AdditionalPylon posted...* I'm sure they don't let men or hermaphrodites compete either. It's their competition, and they want it to be between people who are biologically women, I don't really see the problem here. It's unfortunate for her, but I imagine she didn't disclose the information from the start and it's obviously something that could raise either interests or concerns. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against transgendered people, but when you're running a contest for one gender you shouldn't be obligated to include them, and I'm sure she couldn't have been naive enough to think that it wouldn't matter to the people running the competition. Biology should have nothing to do with it. Of someone identifies themselves as a Woman, they have a place in the contest. It's offensive because it's basically saying you have no place being compared to other women. Once again: It being a rule does not stop it from being offensive. And for the record, if a man could actually compete(successfully) I'd certainly support him. Same for Hermaphrodites. -- Joyrock Fresh from my first justified ban.

StealThisSheen 03/26/12 11:35:00 PM #42:	To clarify what I meant in my last post She just recently finished a pageant where she identified strictly as a transgender person, not a female, because the pageant was for transgender people only. Now she's saying she identifies strictly as a female to get into a female only pageant. She just got done identifying as a transgender person to take part in a discriminatory pageant... To then change what she identifies as "most" to get into another discriminatory pageant, and is basically complaining when it didn't work. Like, I'm not even getting into whether the rule is fair or not. What she did just seems... Eh. -- SEP Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!

LOLContests 03/26/12 11:37:00 PM #45:	The American president having to be born in America is to prevent a foreign power from interfering in America's affairs. Regardless of whether or not it's still necessary, it's not just there to ban foreigners because Americans don't like them. Having a rule stating that the Miss Canada/Universe participant can't be a fully post-op transgender person does not appear to serve any purpose other than banning transgender people because the organization doesn't like them. -- My bracket wasn't good enough to beat SuperNiceDog's in the GameFAQS Rivalry Rumble.
