To the absolute surprise of... no one.
She's also really not that pretty compared to the other. She won because she's Trans. I think most people get that
What I don't get is why people are getting angry at her... if anything, they should be threatening the organizers and the judges?
Exactly, she did absolutely nothing wrong.
The reaction should be questioning the purpose of the pageant if they're going to be changing the rules just to make a statement. These contestants aren't props, they're real people who deserve to all have an equal shot.
Nobody is mad at the judges or organizers because everyone is aware that the organization and judges had no real choice in the matter. If they publicly stated that she wouldn’t be allowed to compete for not being AFAB they’d become targets for abuse. That fear of abuse and intense criticism is also what led them to pronounce her Queen. They had no real choice in the matter. They had to pronounce her Queen.
And it’s nothing out of the ordinary. It’s the same reason so few coaches or female college athletes publicly speak out against AMAB athletes playing in college sports. They’re not going to throw away years of training or their careers to just to voice their true opinion on the matter. Because if they do they know they’ll be removed from the team immediately.
Saying you think the woman in this article perhaps shouldn’t have won the pageant or saying AMAB colligent swimmers should not be completing on the women’s team is not acceptable. It is currently considered a Thoughtcrime by The Party. The nonstop drama surrounding all of this is basically people coming to terms with this fact (and a lot of them are pissed/scared).
Yup, either they're bigoted because they didn't let her compete, or they're bigoted because she didn't win. It's stupid that it's like this.
