http://www.thestar.com/news/article/...eant-after-all Obviously, I'm happy that a competition for women has chosen to include non-cis women (I originally said "all women"...but that really isn't true considering the standard of what qualifies as "beauty" in these things). At the same time, I'm not a big fan of "beauty contests," in general. So I think in some sense this is a victory, at least for trans rights and being recognised as one's true sex. On the other hand...beauty pageants have never sat well with me because of this idealisation of what female beauty "should" be, when it can be so many things, and why create a competition out of it? But either way, congratulations to Jenna and being able to compete in an area that she is passionate about. |
