Mod here. Just want to openly and unequivocally state... I will remove your comment if you're transphobic. I will refer to trans people to let me know if you are being transphobic. I will ban you if you make an egregiously off colour comment. and I will take pleasure in doing this. Fuck your transphobic bullshit, go somewhere else. Nobody wants you here.

Thanks for everything you do to keep this community safe. I know it can't be easy.

It's important to find work that also nourishes your soul.

I mean... it's supposed to be a 'beauty contest' so why shouldn't they compete?

Not that I don't think the entire concept of a competition over beauty is stupid, but they exist, so why not just see who wins?

It's funny because the original trans sports bans were justified by saying that they would have an unfair advantage. This beauty pageant ban is just transphobes saying that trans women are unfairly attractive lmfao.

I think it would have been fair to have a rule saying "no surgical modifications"... because doing things like facelift, nose-job, breast/buttox implants, cheek lifts, wrinkle removal, etc, are obviously unfair advantages (in a beauty contest) for those who have the money pay for it; and having a generic blanket rule like that would have accomplished the same thing they were trying to accomplish without being so blatantly transphobic... so a rule like what they have only proves that they are both despicable AND dumb. The entire notion of beauty pageants is outdated and stupid if you ask me.

[–] [email protected] 57 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Lol, you implement that and basically all beauty pageants stop existing. Which would be a good thing, mind you. But I've never met a pageant contestant in my life that isn't … let's say … heavily enhanced by medical procedures.

I think it would have been fair to have a rule saying “no surgical modifications”…

How are you intending to prove that that? Only the bad surgery makes itself obvious.

[–] [email protected] 75 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (6 children)

Like any kind of contest, finding rules violations is hard and not foolproof. It's like sports that forbid using steroids - competitors do regularly take those substances while training, then quit taking them for competition and go uncaught. Competitors who are discovered later to have been violating rules are stripped of titles.

That said, I don't think it's a very controversial concept that a beauty pageant shouldn't be a contest about who could afford the best surgeons. Well - as I said earlier I think beauty pageants are absurd to begin with, but if they have to exist I don't think it should be a contest between surgeons.

On the one hand, that might work. On the other hand, who gives a fuck about the rules in a contest with arbitrary standards?

Elia Bonci, who also spoke to la Repubblica, said: “I took courage, used my deadname and signed up for Miss Italy because fighting transphobia is intersectional and even though I’m not a trans woman, I’ve decided to fight for their rights.”

much respect to all that followed!

This is deliciously rich. They really painted themselves into a corner with that one!

[–] [email protected] 67 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (7 children)

For context, Miss Italia is no longer broadcasted on important tv channels and almost no one watches or care about who wins now. Years ago (10?) it was a big thing and winners would make commercials and do movies/series and be remembered for life. But it’s too an old school concept now

Anyway, I love this turn of events

I hope he wins. That'd be really funny.

Imagine a buff, bearded person that identifies as male wins in a contest that measures female beauty

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (5 children)

I know right? It'll finally make pagents worth watching.

We should also get drag queen bodybuilding competitions. If everything is going to be reality TV for a while (support the strike, by the way) I'd at least want them to be entertaining.

YES. This is EXACTLY what I’ve been saying!!! Like honestly, as a cis woman from Italy I’m so embarrassed by this nonsense. Like, cutting trans women out of the competition at this moment just means people are recognizing that trans women are “unfairly” more good looking than cis women. Which, personally, is true in my case but you don’t see me bitching about it. Fuck yeah trans dudes, trans chicks and non-binary buddies.

Absolute chads. I'm curious what kind of response this is going to get.

This is fantastic, while having them obviously in drag is delicious, it would be even more stark if some of them present as traditional male too and really bring the point home.

Wait, they have to tell the organizers such sensible details?

Are they required to be virgins too?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago

You're thinking of Miss Vatican.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Beauty Pageants are uglyphobic.
