Federal Court Rules That Beauty Pageant Can Prohibit Transgender Participants

Daily Caller: A U.S. appeals court ruled Wednesday that a national beauty pageant can prohibit transgender participants because it conflicts with the pageant’s mission of promoting the “ideal vision of American womanhood.”

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decided 2-1 that the Miss United States of America pageant has the First Amendment right to bar transgender participants from its competition. The ruling comes after a 2019 lawsuit by biological man Anita Green who was rejected from the Miss United States of America’s Miss Oregon competition for not being a “natural born female.”

“As with theater, cinema or the Super Bowl halftime show, beauty pageants combine speech with live performances such as music and dancing to express a message,” Judge Lawrence VanDyke wrote in the opinion. “And while the content of that message varies from pageant to pageant, it is commonly understood that beauty pageants are generally designed to express the ‘ideal vision of American womanhood.’” more here

  1. Circus freak shows need to make a comeback for all the freaks to be put on public display for all to see. Or maybe that’s what so called reality TV, a new and unimproved version of the old circus freak show has become and too many clueless people are watching it.

  2. Geoff – Circuses are no more since all their freak shows are commonplace. Morbidly obese, tattooed to extreme with piercings…. But Now – the bearded lady has been exposed for what HE is. Now all my illusions are shattered.

  3. “Listen here, biotches, and listen up tight. You want an organization with LGBT+etc allowed in it? Go form your own fuckin’ club, and leave ours alone. We ain’t lettin’ you in. Now go away and get lost!”

    This is what the BSA (that’s Boy Scouts of America, NOT Birmingham Small Arms motorcycles) should have told the queers 10+ years ago, we wouldn’t be in this mess we are now.

  4. Damn few circuses left…
    Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey
    “With weakening attendance, many animal rights protests, and high operating costs, the circus performed its final show on May 21, 2017, at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum and closed after 146 years.”
