While this next story might sound a little crazy, it is in fact – true. Beauty pageants have been a staple in women’s lives since the first crown at the Miss America beauty pageant in 1921. Well, thanks to liberals and the PC culture, now men might have to be included in the pageants. Why exactly, because a Canadian transgender activist filed a human rights complaint because he was denied entrance into an all-female pageant.
Going by the name Jessica Yaniv, she is supposedly suing the pageant for $10,000 for “discrimination based on gender identity, gender expression, and sex.” Under the Ontario Human Rights Code, it is a violation to reject someone due solely because of their sex. Yaniv says that is exactly what happened when she was turned away from the pageant. Yaniv is also suing for “Injury to dignity and feelings”.
According to the Pageant, Yaniv never disclosed that she was transgender and still had male genitals before being accepted. If the pageant would have known, they would not have let her continue or even sign up as the contest is for women only. The Canada Galaxy Pageants has since changed its requirements. According to the pageants, they will be, “accepting genetic females as contestants but would still accept transgender females who had fully transitioned and no longer had male genitals.”

Another issue with the pageant pertained to the changing room. According to the laws, women share a common changing room and no men are allowed. With the youngest contestant being 6 years old, having a transgender woman in their presence may be a little unsettling. The pageant says that even fathers are not allowed in the changing room for safety reasons.
For Allison Kindle, a staff lawyer at the Justice Centre, she doesn’t see an issue with how the pageant handled the matter. She said in an interview, “Biological women and girls must continue to have the freedom to associate with other biological women and girls in activities that serve their unique interests and needs as females. Further, this beauty pageant has already made reasonable accommodations for fully transitioned transgender females without male genitals.”
