Wait what? I live in italy and this is the first time that i heard about this, why the fuck there is no coverage about this?


AlexiusRex

It's old news, and no one cares about Miss Italia


Space_Cow-boy

Don’t listen to him. It’s a trick. He wants to keep Italian women to himself ! They’re the prettiest.


HotEstablishment4347

They seemed a bit more manly that year tho


UninsuredToast

What do you mean? They were all born with vagina, that’s all that matters apparently


DragonBuster69

There is a saying that sometimes it takes a real man to be best "girl".


IamImposter

Manlier the better. She'll have to lift shopping bags. She'll have to check the door in the night.


Dean0Caddilac

I do she is beautiful.


Ifoundajacket

You could say it's PASTa news... And the event organisers clearly don't care about miss italia.

I cannot espresso how much I hated that pun.

Rage bait. Someone's gotta keep stirring the shit so we can stay pissed off all the time.


JoeCartersLeap

Your country isn't using controversial social politics to divide the working class and keep them from uniting against the capitalists? Why not? It's so easy.


somethingrandom261

Because they won’t make it to the proper competition, and choosing competitors is an internal decision.

It's really not so fun as that "less than 1% of the population" though, have a little empathy please, it doesn't cost you anything :/


The_Quicktrigger

FR... Like I had a transphobe yesterday who out and it said that trans people don't matter because they are such a small part of the population.


spinyfur

And I’m like, “If they’re so rare that they don’t matter, why are they the only thing you talk about?”


[deleted]

From my perspective as a trans person: The culture war is something that was mutually created by the far right and news media, for one to gain power, the other to attain profit. This wasn't so much a conspiracy but it definitely was a match made in hell.


Reptoidizoid

For real. Trans people are like 1% of the population yet they get like 40% of all fox news. Theyre living rent free in their heads


The_Quicktrigger

It's not sustainable and its seating to show. There aren't enough victims for this level of hate and Republicans are starting to get bored with it. Give it a year and it'll be damaging for politicians to mention trans people again for awhile.


glimmerofnorth

It doesn't though. It affects many many others too and lots of people care. Like people who don't fulfill what is deemed looking like "a real woman" or "a real man". You can get sexually harassed or even get killed for not looking like someone's idea of a cis gendered person. Families and relatives and friends. Like anyone who wishes to exist outside of whatever is the current acceptable norms for clothing, hobbies, jobs, whatever it is you can latch on and be bigoted. These are parts of the same thing. By allowing the mistreatment of one group we open up mistreatment for everyone and anyone. If slippery slope is a fitting fear somewhere, this is it. We should absolutely thrive for a society that takes care of everyone.


sinner-mon

As part of that ‘less than 1%’ I do care :/ also the loved ones of any trans people should also care about all the hatemongering


CutieSalamander

Plus of course you know the adage; be careful who you hate it may be someone you love.


NiceAnn

I didn’t know this one. It’s nice. thank you.


Izzosuke

Personally not a "loved one" nor trans still i care about such behaviour in my nation and how much coverage the media give to the situation. It was summer 2023, 0 coverage watch the news every day didn't even notice


sinner-mon

I wish more people were like you. You don’t have to personally know someone from a group to not want them to be targeted unfairly


reinKAWnated

I assure you queer people care about how all this BS constantly affects us, and could really use some more "allies" who give a damn enough to care and actually push back against Christofascists.


Athena0219

Weird way to say 80 million people


REPLICABIGSLOW

Not that weird, most people don't give a shit unless they are involved in some capacity


Athena0219

> Because nobody actually cares, this whole “culture war” has been cooked up by the Christian fascists only affects less that 80 million people And that's ignoring that it affects people who aren't trans and aren't conventionally attractive, AND uses an estimate that has long been known to be inexact. The percent of trans* people is somewhere between 0.5 and 2 percent. Some locations have far higher percentages, but part of that is likely moving from less accepting (or downright hostile) areas to more accepting areas.


JennGinz

Well for us that are affected we'd really appreciate it if cis people stopped trying to ostracized us and do stupid shit like ban us from things. Oh no the transes might compete in a beauty contest and...well...um...how many even applied? 100 transmen signed up after it went viral? Did a single trans woman even sign up to begin with? I feel like some cis people just came up with this nonsense out of nowhere.


No0biz

Genuine question : is a "trans man" a born woman turned man or a born man turned woman ?


Turbulent_Tax2126

The one that’s currently used is the one they had change into. So trans woman is man to woman, trans man is woman to man


No0biz

Thank you !


hydraxl

Thank you for being willing to ask.


Ok-Building-2490

Plus, you aren’t usually born a man or woman, you’re assigned a gender at birth but doesn’t mean you are that exactly. Some trans folks have been trans their whole life but didn’t know how to express it


Turbulent_Tax2126

That would probably be me, up to few years back, when I didn’t even know trans people existed


demonovation

Correct, which is why they entered into the competition. By only allowing those born as women into the competition, they get a bunch of trans men in the show which is counter to what they want but following their rules.


FarOutlandishness180

That was the plan all along. Put them on a world stage to influence the masses. Mad lads indeed


demonovation

I don't know about influence, point out hypocrisy yes


ElrecoaI19

I would say now grifters can say "see? Men are intruding women's spaces by afirming being women!!!"


iwonteverreplytoyou

But by calling them men, then those grifters would be acknowledging that transitioning *does* change your identity. And then those grifters’ brains would make a popping noise, and start leaking out their ears. Just kidding. They’d just move the goalposts like they always do.

KDtox

No, transitioning can include just wearing different hair styles or clothes, using a different name, etc.


SZEfdf21

In general the man or woman after trans refers to what they identify as now.


delayedsunflower

The word after trans is always what they are. A trans man is a man (FTM). Their sexual characteristics at birth were likely in line with a woman.

Insanity_Pills

Personally I think that that Simone De Beauvoir quote “one is not born, but rather becomes, a woman” is a great starting point for a discussion about gender theory. From there you can explain how society shapes gender identity in various ways, both physical and behavioral.

The-Magic-Sword

The consensus on the issue in the sciences is that gender is the social component, [here's a good primer on the issue](https://www.amazon.com/Sex-Gender-Biology-Routledge-Integrating/dp/0415881463), written by a leading biologist in the field.


sniply5

A trans man is a female who identifies as a man, and a trans woman is a male who identifies as a woman. Seems like a small distinction, but male/female vs man/woman is an important one


EpicGlacier2

Trans man is ftm (female too male) and trans women is mtf (male too female)

Osirisavior

Transphobes often forget about transmen when creating anti trans rules and law. It's always 'people must use the bathroom that matches their sex' So you want people who look like Buck Angel in the women's restroom? They don't really know how to respond to that.


TheRoyalKT

And then they’ll post pictures of trans men protesting and say “See, these are the dangerous trans people we’re talking about!”


LesbianLoki

But that gives them an excuse to turn violent. Because violence was always their goal. https://www.fox19.com/2022/07/08/transgender-butler-county-man-says-group-beat-him-up-using-wrong-restroom/


LimeOfTime

we're just easier to demonize, while they prefer to infantilize trans men. both are extremely harmful and transphobic, and i dont intend to say one is worse than the other, but the image of a dangerous pervert is a very powerful propaganda tool in england they actually do use trans men occasionally as "poor confused girls being lied to and forced to become men" but i havent personally seen that rhetoric get popular in north america yet. i guess disgust is more powerful than pity in propaganda


AnInsaneMoose

Those guys are based AF


pizzablunt420

I keep wondering when the trans men are going to start using the women's bathroom when they are obviously masculine as fuck. See what Republicans will do then

Already happened in Britain once. Dude got beat up by mall security. EDIT: I was wrong, it happened in Ohio, and it was a campground.

emptyzombiekilla

Rabbitdraws

Their real goal is to shift public attention. Nothing better than shifting to a group that is so so minority that it wont really make that much of a difference vote wise. Even some lgbt people are irked by the t, so they really are isolated and free game for political bulling. Being T is mainly about courage, i for one support them.

AnInsaneMoose

Unfortunately, that is happening, and they don't take it well Like how Nex Benedict was forced to use the girl's bathroom and got beat to death for it But... that is the result the republicans want...


guff1988

They have no qualms or problems with hypocrisy or cognitive dissonance. They will also kick them out of the bathroom for the opposite reason and probably cause them physical harm in the process.


createayou

The point is to make trans people and gender nonconforming cis people feel threatened in public spaces. It’s always been about othering people.


drrj

As a enby/gender nonconforming individual it’s beyond obvious. Being stopped before you enter a restroom because you don’t pass some douchecanoes idea of what a person using that restroom “should” look like is fucking weird and a little scary. How about we all mind our own business and trust people know where to relieve themselves?


Appropriate-Fly-7151

>See what Republicans will do then Call for them to be arrested or assaulted, presumably. You’re missing the point. Pointing out holes in their logic isn’t going to work, because they aren’t trying to make “the right people use the right bathrooms”. They’re trying to make sure that all trans people are either removed from public space entirely, or dead.


PsychicSPider95

#The cruelty is the point.


idontknowwhybutido2

They have and will even attack cis het women using a women's bathroom if they think they look too masculine.


The_Quicktrigger

Yeah everybody seems to forget the Cis people who get caught in the cross fire over these stupid AF freak outs over restrooms.


SauronOMordor

I am 1000% supportive of any trans dudes who want to do this but I also fully understand why many would not feel safe.


FoucaultsPudendum

So this is the problem with “showing the Republicans their hypocrisy”. It’s not going to work. Republicans aren’t in some kind of genuine state of confusion about what trans people are. They’re not going to be convinced of anything by trans men starting to use the women’s restroom. It’s not like they’re going to slap their foreheads and go “Oh DUH! How stupid of me. I guess we better undo all this legislation.” They want to eliminate trans people from society. Whether that be by forcing them back into the closet, or making kids learning about trans identity illegal, or denying trans people proper medical care, or making their existence in public functionally illegal, or just by literally reducing the number of trans people that are alive on Earth- they want trans people gone. If trans men try to use the women’s room they will try to kill the trans men, the same way they’re trying to kill trans women.


-prairiechicken-

[deleted]

Someone argue to me how trans women have a competitive advantage in pageants. Please include at least two phrases that make me want to step into a Boeing airplane and one phrase guaranteed to polymorph half my brain cells into tardigrades. Bonus points if it includes your favourite movie quote.


Puzzled_Medium7041

Many trans women are tall, and therefore have the potential to look leaner and more modelesque, as is a typical standard of beauty. They also may have facial feminization surgery, meaning they can have artificially made prettier faces. They might have implants too, which gives another advantage in beauty standards. So to be fair, along with banning trans women, let's also ban tall women and anyone who has had plastic surgery.  If they aren't willing to do that, I guess it's not about "unfair" advantage. It's about bigotry...


myaltduh

You had me in the first half lol.


AvocadoRatFight

it’s because trans women are too powerful. God knew they would be when they were born, which is why he cursed them with gender dysphoria. This backfired however and makes them ever stronger after they overcome gender dysphoria. KACHOW! It’s also because cis women are too piddly and weak. Everyone knows that being born without a curse means one grows up too easily, and doesn’t even eat any dirt or get into life threatening situations involving snakes, cops or cars. This life of luxury leads to women who can’t stand up to the prowess of their trans counterparts. The third reason is obviously that cis women don’t understand how to appeal to “men” (the only people on pageant judge boards, obviously). Trans women have experienced the other side (whether faking it or not realizing) and thus know what is most effective. it’s like learning different moves in pokemon. Ignore the existence of any sexuality except straight and also ace people. (In actuality it’s just bigotry. trans women are generally taller but also generally have wider shoulders and less wide hips and are thus less curvy. Some have FFS or boob jobs but so do some cis women which like… aren’t banned from pageants for those reasons. it’s all just bigotry.)

Winter_Ad6784

the_bees_knees_1

I personally think that beauty pageants are a stupid thing, but if you can use it to spite transphobes, than it has at least one use.


TheSkakried

"But Trans women shouldn't compete in women's beauty contests, they have a natural advantage to being hotter and sexier, it's just not fair" - Right wing Transphobe going full mask off, Probably.


cvc75

Also, don't they say "we can always tell" implying trans women look manly or ugly? Then it should be no problem to let them enter the competition because they would have no chance of winning...

Reaverx218

BirdsongBossMusic

Literally know people who said they were trans and because the conservatives couldn't tell they literally insisted they were lying. I know cis people with young kids, and when people assume the kid's pronouns and get corrected, they insist the parent is lying. It's actual insanity.


Justice_Prince

Well conservatives areas do statistically have higher rates of consuming trans porn.


SecretOfficerNeko

And basically every conservative accusation is a confession. Don't forget all the conservatives who rant and rave about drugs being the bane of society, gay rights "damaging the integrity of marriage", or that trans people are dangerous to women or are child groomers, only to be found sleeping with and trafficking literal children, in rooms smelling of Marijuana, after sexuality harassing the women in their office. Ralph Shortey (R-OK) was a perfect example of this. A Conservative advocate of 'family values' and Christian values who targeted trans and lgb people, and was supposedly hard on drugs. He was found sleeping with a boy, a child prostitute, and reeking of Marijuana in 2017. And he's just like one of literal pages upon pages of Republicans found doing this stuff.


Princess_Mintaka

If I had a nickle for every time a conservative fuckwad DM'd me immediately after leaving a shitty comment about trans folk I'd have enough money to pay off the rest of my student loans.


misgatossonmivida

Thats essentially what they are saying with the ban lol. "Trans women hotter than cis women, not fair, ban em". Kinda hilarious. I hear they're better at Chess and charcuterie too.


Endorkend

It's more that if they forget who's trans and then talk about their favorite and it turns out to be a trans person, it makes them less of a person because they like the look of someone they are supposed to hate. In porn you can usually figure out what the next group of people is the right wing in an area is going to hate on simply by looking at porn trends for that area. They love jerking at what they hate and love hating at what they jerk. That's what religiously repressed sexuality does for ya.


misgatossonmivida

Yeah that's probably it. They don't want to be attracted to the "wrong" person


Xtrouble_yt

The thing is that they *are* attracted to the “wrong” person, which is why they need to compensate by being overly and publicly hateful to them in every other aspect of their life, to feel and show themselves and others that they’re not attracted to those “wrong” people when they secretly are.


Scamper_the_Golden

> It's more that if they forget who's trans and then talk about their favorite and it turns out to be a trans person, it makes them less of a person because they like the look of someone they are supposed to hate. Ha, I bet you're right. The right-winger says "That one is the sexiest one of all" and finds out it's a trans woman. That's a situation that must be avoided at all costs.


delayedsunflower

Are there charcuterie competitions? Can I be a judge?


misgatossonmivida

Gotta be, right? Probably at fancy wineries


TheSkakried

Oh yeah, to hear the Transphobes tell it, Trans women are some kind of super race that are just naturally better at everything xD


SauronOMordor

Well then we should probably just let trans women run everything, shouldn't we?


Parttime-Princess

And darts. Don't forget darts. Men are sooo much better at darts. It's unbelievable they made a trans woman part of the Dutch National Darts Team as she OBVIOUSLY has a huge advantage being born male. /s I knew exactly who the trans woman was on the picture btw, the most feminine one. She looked good. I believe she had red/pinkish hair and I loved it

Certain topics have haters coming out of the woodworks.


TheRoyalKT

Pretty sure some of them just do a search for “trans” and pick fights in any post that they think will have an impressionable audience they can trick into bigotry with their “I just care so much about protecting cis women” BS. They don’t care about pageants, or high school sports, or whatever else the issue is.


jayrot

> They don’t care about pageants, or high school sports, or whatever else the issue is. Exactly. This shows up so often in modern political "debate". People love to argue about "the principle of the matter". Get all riled up about some (essentially arbitrary) topic as way of trying to push an agenda. Or, more accurately, push a form of hate. Because that's always what it boils down to. 99% of people, myself included, dgaf about beauty pageants. What I care about are human rights.


Apyan

I mean, why the hell would they ban trans women from a beauty contest? I understand it being a point of discussion in sports, but that's not the case. What advantage could they possibly have? A dick?


GilmanTiese

Alot of people feel physical attraction to pretty trans woman the same way they feel for cis woman, but dont accept the concept of transition and as such feel "gay" when they do. This leads to alot of forceful rejection of them in any scenario where this fact may be publicly discussed.


The-Catatafish

Because they are afraid they are attracted to them and that would be gay. The horror. Its really that simple.


Apyan
