Our gal came in seventh but had a great time with her sister Goldie and two dates being out all night before the Pageant

Oh well, today is male entitlement day, it seems. Sure, get surgeries and take the place of natural women and reap the money out of it. (I can confirm that France 3 Region is a legit information website btw)

Beauty contests should die anyway, since they're the most basic patriarchy in action, but yeah, now males will make women even more insecure...

I swear today's Reddit scrolling makes me want to peak another time.

ETA :

Roughly (not a good translator) : "Last year, the student decided to sign in the official contest of Haute-Vienne. [As to] boost her self confidence, make her family proud and to prove the people who mocked her wrong...there are many reasons."

Quote : <<I wanted to be able to tell myself that I am a young woman. I can be pretty, desired, be liked>>

Quote 2 : <<Among all the [economical?] partners, some people aren't accepting, Lara says. At the end of the day, it's good to force things. To show that a trans woman can be miss or dauphine. Because during the contest, some parents complain to the president. Thankfully, the committee defended me. I heard someone say "Ah, but that's a man" and I wanted to tell him "yeah and the man is first dauphine". We need to stop with taboos and nastiness. We need to teach values of tolerance and acceptance>>

This make me sick. This male self-id as a man right there and say we need to force things and force women to accept that else they're intolerant. Male thinking 101.

ETA 2 : Oh and btw, laser hair removal is at least partially refunded *by society/health care* in France. Too bad for the real females contestants who have to pay their own shaving I guess (you know, because natural body hair is too gross for patriarchy to handle as part of straight beauty standards)

"win din"

Weigh the appropriateness of the dynamics for this particular contest anyways, but weigh a little more the judges -- Mr. Weatherbee? Not sure when Archie steps in for this one, but he has been judging them since 1945. Betty wins it and Veronica plays a Mean Girls act.

"Win Din" presents something that is not necessarily just a beauty contest, though the last dress event is apparently the swimsuit contest.
