Normally, liberals become profoundly upset when a woman’s achievement is overshadowed by a man. They made an exception last night, however. Miss Philippines won the Miss Universe pageant but much of the attention and applause went to “Miss” Spain, a man.
“Miss” Spain was the first transgender to compete in the pageant. He didn’t finish in the top three, but he still managed to steal much of the spotlight from the authentic women on the stage. Not to mention, there is a real beauty queen somewhere in Spain who was excluded entirely because a man took her spot. If you’re looking for appropriation to rail against, look no further.
