This was said to me on IG. There are valid criticisms to be had with pageantry. I know why it is I compete in pageants though.

Judge allows Miss United States of America pageant to ban transgender women from competing
“I believe Miss United States of America is on the wrong side of history for choosing to actively discriminate against transgender people.”
An Oregon judge has ruled in favour of the Miss United States of America LLC and its policy that rejects transgender women from competing.
The decision comes a year after Anita Noelle Green sued the Oregon based competition for discrimination and violating Oregon’s Public Accommodations Act, which in turn infringed on her First Amendment rights.
Judge Micahel Mosman ruled that the competition is an “expressive” organisation and is not obligated to including transgender contestants.
