This makes me so sick. I really don't understand why it matters that she was AMAB. It shouldn't matter. Just another reason why the current system of sex assignment at birth is damaging to trans and intersexed kids and the way the public views them. She is just as "naturally born female" as any other contestant as far as I'm concerned. I find it interesting that it seems its pretty much always female levels of competition (whether in sport or in other competitions like beauty pageants) that are so strictly policed by "sex criteria."

This comment made me sick, in particular:

Davila insisted there is no bad blood between Talackova and Miss Universe Canada, and that they wish her the best.

“She was excited about the competition. Just because she can’t compete doesn’t mean we stopped loving her.”
Yes, of course you "love" her...you've just refused to recognise her as a woman, claimed that she's not a "real girl" and publicly humiliated her...but yeah...you love her.
