@jakecuamag recently asked the @musing community if the LGBT and Transgender communities went to far with the 1st Transwoman contestant in Miss Universe (2018).

@ohmygoodness answered with an interesting perspective and believes that it makes sense for Transwomen to compete in Miss Universe.

I respect @ohmygoodness's opinion, and even upvoted his (or her) answer, but I don't agree that Transwomen should be allowed to compete in these pageants.

If someone created a pageant that allowed Transgenders (born Male) to compete as Females, I could see why a Transgender (born Male) would be allowed to do so.

But the Miss Universe pageant was specifically made for people born Female, and Males are born physically different from Females (hence the distinction between Male and Female).

Most people would agree that it's unfair to let a Transgender (born Male) compete in a Female weightlifting competition, and I think the arguments surrounding both of those competitions are more or less the same.

• Transgenders (born Male) have a clear advantage over weightlifting contestants born Female, so being born Male is not the same thing as being born Female.

The existence of Hermaphrodites and Transgenders (who completed a sex change) makes this difficult to judge, but I think it becomes more obvious what is fair when we compare Miss Universe pageants to Female weightlifting contests.

ANSWER:

The LGBT community is going too far when they advocate for Transwomen to compete in beauty pageants that were intended for people born Female (i.e. Miss Universe).
