Y’all.
Am I stuck in the terrible 2000’s movie “Idiocracy”?!
If you haven’t seen it, don’t, it is truly awful. It follows a man that went into the future. Shocker the future is a nightmare because literal idiots run the world. Not shocking at all that I’m beginning to think this movie was prophetic. We are suing a beauty pageant now?!
I CAN NOT MAKE THIS UP.
According to Willamette Week, a transgender contestant, Anita Green, is suing the Miss USA beauty pageant for gender discrimination.
After contacting the pageant about the rules, receiving, and reading them, Green then decided that it would be best to ask Miss USA to change the eligibility requirements to be able to compete instead of participating in a pageant that accommodates trans people.
Oregon Live located the suit, that claimed not allowing transgender contestants to compete in “natural” female pageants was discrimination hidden by eligibility requirements. Green wants the pageant to change the rule requiring contestants to be “natural” born females and is also seeking undisclosed monetary damages. *insert heavy eye roll here*
Keep in mind that although the pageant is open to the public, the business is a private company. There are other states within the pageant system that allow transgender contestants a chance to compete.
If Green wanted to compete because it is a passion, that’s the answer. Move to another state that allows transgender contestants in the pageant. It’s not like this is the only rule that could eliminate someone from eligibility.
Requirements that can rule out eligibility:
Discrimination against pregnant women is also a crime.
The pageant has never changed the rules for these women.
WHY SHOULD THEY CHANGE THEM NOW?!
Not to mention the fact that the Oregon division of Miss USA offered to help accommodate Green in a different state that would allow transgender contestants to compete!
I can not believe that we live in this world where everything has to be for everyone. It’s OK if you don’t meet the eligibility requirements.
MOVE ON!!
Cancel this culture of “attack, so I get what I want.” It’s like I tell my 5-year-old, “You get what you get, and you don’t throw a fit.” If a child gets it, why is it so hard for adults?
The real tragedy is going to come when the pageant inevitably caves to the far left pressure. And another bites the dust.
