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
