Except there's already Trans beauty contests, so it's not like they're being held out.

I get ya, like, I don't think anyone would be cool with a male to female trans participating in the female Olympics. I'm actually surprised an issue like that has not happened yet. I thought that issue already happened? Edit: I remember now, a few years ago there was a big issue about the gender of a female Olympic runner from South Africa. Caster Semeyna, she was called a he in the press but the IOC said that she was just a female with very high testerone levels. She will be at the Olympics this year

Possibly but it's not like these competitions are between clones. Everyone is going to have different body chemistry so as long as she is biologically a woman I don't think it should matter.

It doesn't make any sense to leave them out. Pretty much this. She is, for all intents and purposes, now female. What's the issue?

I'd say he gave herself the perfect body and face threw surgery but then again I highly doubt the others in there are nip/tuck free.

If we're saying that "surgical enhancement" is a disqualifiable offense, then the entire pageant system is pretty much dead in the water.

Playing Devil's Advocate for a sec...how would you react if a woman tried to enter a Miss Trans America contest and wasn't let in?

Eh, now that this is out she won't have a chance at winning. Now that the secret is out, she has EVERY chance of winning. You know how much people love an underdog.

You just know now that Trump is going try and get her as his version of Chaz Bono for the next season of Celebrity Apprentice, heck he'll try to get Chaz as well and try to pit them against each other at every turn.
