much respect to all that followed!
I'm confused. If they are using a dead name how are they not trans?
They are trans men, who the organizers consider women as opposed to the trans women who can't compete because they consider them men.
I'm gonna need a pen and paper for this one.
I'll summarize:
The contest organizers don't accept trans women (AKA assigned male at birth, transitioned to female)
This means that they are being transphobic, they aren't treating trans women as women.
The person in the article is the opposite, assigned female at birth and transitioned to male. AKA a trans man.
This person is considered a woman by the beauty contest despite identifying as male.
He entered the beauty contest as a form of protest and to bring attention to the blatant transphobia.
“Transphobia” idk I just think they don’t want certain ideologies in their shows. Makes sense to me but you guys will probably start spamming slurs at me if I keep speaking so…
Edit: I agree the rules are dumb and contradictory but calling it transphobia is just hilarious to me
"We exist" isn't an ideology.
So like, according to the organizers, if they were born with a penis, it doesn't matter if they transitioned, they are considered men.
This trans man (a person born with a vagina who transitioned ) is entering the contest, because if trans women are considered men, trans men are considered women.
So this dude is entering a "female" beauty contest to show how dumb the rules are. He is allowed to do so because said dumb rules make him a woman in the eyes of the organization.
We need a powerpoint explaining the 5D transphobia.
Think the others were missing the point - they are trans men. Their dead name is their dead female name.
The ruling was to prevent trans women from competing, so while they can't stand for trans women, they'll stand for all trans.
I went to high school with a Ruth. She decided to change her name to Elizabeth when she went to college. She still goes by Elizabeth. Is she mentally ill because she doesn't want anyone to call her Ruth?
