No one's arguing here, more along the lines of saying your point sucks. Your comment blows. And I have a feeling you are ignoring me, because it most likely was how you warded off insults from the cool kids. Listen the only reason I'm mad is because when people discriminate on groups because they're different... I get mad. Like really upset.
If you haven't read any literature on transgenders you can't possibly know anything right. You said because of the genetic disposition, alright... fair. But I said to imagine a world where everything about you was the same except you were born a woman. Your brain chemistry, your body structure, you likes/dislikes, everything the same but with breasts and a vagina. No penis. Would you be "lying" to the world by getting sex reassignment therapy? No.
This world is not so clear cut, it would be boring. We need some things to expand our perspective, to look outside rules and challenge them.
Is it appropriate to rule this person out? Since she lied, yes. But is it appropriate to re-consider the rule book? Maybe, allowing for transgendered in beauty pageants would be the socially just thing to do. But if surgery and hormone therapy alters the appearance, what so different than women entering with tons of cosmetic surgery? Then pageants become battle of the riches, and not of beauty.
