Having a pervert as such in a women's beauty pageant is an insult to women.

Feminine beauty is not the exclusive property of people in female bodies; just as masculine beauty is not the exclusive property of people in male bodies.

I'm not seeing a clear answer to my question.

Am I wrong to feel insulted that you can see a man as an shining example of feminine beauty? Enough to be acknowledged as such among women?

I don't see why you should feel insulted in such a scenario.

I'm guessing that our difference of perspective comes from you seeing your womanhood as an absolute aspect of your identity? Obviously I don't actually know if that's the case.

I have a male body - but what I am, (what each of us is), transcends gender.

I see feminine beauty as an aspect of womanhood. And so I ask if it's wrong to see a man being acknowledged as an example of feminine beauty among women as an insult.

No, actually. Gender does indeed effect one's behavior and overall psychology. It matters, to who you are, what gender you are. Feel free to try to establish your point, if you like.

"Right" and "wrong" have no meaning for me. And I'm guessing that's the end of this conversation, (if I can call it that)?

Well, despite the Maury show stumping me on many occasions I'm going to say no. They should have their own and leave the showcase of hot blondes to the hot blonde females.

If they can pass the Genetic test that proves they are female then yes..

Oh but they can't can they since their femaleness is just a delusion a way for them to try to deny that they are just a gay man who has given himself over to his lust for male anatomy. Thus they believe that if they act and dress like a woman then their sexual deviancy will be socially acceptable.

Yes, having no understanding of "right" and "wrong" does rather end the conversation, considering the topic.

Are you trying to blame me for having nothing to say here?

No. The only reason I would watch a beauty pageant is to oggle the attractive women who are competing. If I were to oggle someone whom I thought to be an attractive woman when, in fact, that person ended up being a guy...that'd just make me feel wrong.

[2] Even if you are on the brink of damnation, even if you have one foot in Hell, even if you have sold your soul to the devil as sorcerers do who practise black magic, and even if you are a heretic as obstinate as a devil, sooner or later you will be converted and will amend your life and save your soul, if----and mark well what I say----if you say the Holy Rosary devoutly every day until death for the purpose of knowing the truth and obtaining contrition and pardon for your sins" (St. Louis Marie de Montfort, Secret of the Rosary, Red Rose).

Trannys are ridiculously absurd monsters, and therefore comedic gold.
i don't know about talent competitions, but they should definatly be allowed to participate in Mainstream Sports.
How funny would it be to see some she-monster get stomped by a 300lb line-backer, fore-checked into the boards, pummled by Mike Tyson or trying to seriously compete in Australian Rugby?
Dude. that be totallyhilarious, and, add some freak-show spectacle to the mix.

Something like the Roman gladiatorial circuses? Pap for the masses?
What kind of masses would that be?
