 Never thought I'd see a day where the concept of banning men from a beauty pageant would be controversial not in the least because it never occurred to my younger self they would participate on it.

 @gvs @π•„π„Ξœπ”Όβ“’ 𝔼𝔩αŽ₯ŀ𝐞 Because they don't, it's women. However since obvious transphobia like this gets banned by any properly moderated instance very quickly anyway I won't even try to explain the science. Get yourself some proper education.

 The science, you mean biology? I seem to recall it defines female as having XX chromosomes and an innate capacity to give birth.

 Transphobia is a euphemism for controlling the thoughts, opinions and even religion of other people.  For you it is not enough that libertarians like me leave adults alone, no we have to change our thinking, science and religion to cater to feelings of discomfort of a tiny proportion of the population.  I will not.
