Miss Universe will feature two trans contestants for the first time (pageant will air on Sat., 11/18 live from El Salvador)

This year’s Miss Universe pageant will feature at least two trans women for first time, after 23-year-old flight attendant Marina Machete was last week named Miss Portugal.

Machete will compete for the crown at the 72nd Miss Universe competition in El Salvador this November alongside Rikkie Kollé, who in July became the first transgender winner of Miss Netherlands.

In a video posted to the Portuguese pageant’s YouTube channel ahead of the contest, Machete spoke about trans rights as part of her platform, describing rising levels of “transphobia and intolerance” worldwide as “alarming.” She added that it was “heartwarming” to see the Miss Universe Organization, which changed its rules to allow trans contestants in 2012, being inclusive and “breaking boundaries.”

“As a trans woman I’ve been through many obstacles along the way, but fortunately, and especially with my family, love proved to be stronger than ignorance,” she said in the video.

In other words a trans will win. There’s no way they will bring in a tranny and not make him win.

Who needs those pagents?

The babes on the news broadcasts, with their beautiful hair cascading forward over their shoulders, make them obsolete.

If the REAL female contestants don’t walk out, they deserve what they get when the woke judges vote for one of the trannies.

This bullshit needs to end now.

Exactly. The winner is predetermined, sorta like the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election.

Used to be people would watch these to see the pretty women presented from each state or country.

Now, it's a virtue signaling joke that only pervs and freaks will decry as must see TV.

Male homosexual transvestites are not foemen and not normal no matter how much they want to redefine homosexuality.

Or, you could do what some people, me being one of them, does.

I’ve collected my favorite sitcoms and other television shows from the past that were decent enough entertainment and watch those as I’ve already disconnected from Cable TV over 7 years ago. Can’t get over the air channels in my location either, so that’s not an option.

Love my irreverent sitcoms, particularly Married with Children, which just so happens to deploy very hot, sometimes playboy or penthouse “models”, as part of the cast on a regular basis.

Hands down, one of the two men will get the title. Easy call. They will even get WOMAN of the year awards.

I wonder what it’s like to be a teenager today and see so many adults who are patently crazy. These are not respectable differences of opinion. They are insane PERIOD!

I wonder how the feminists can justify men taking over, and often winning contests that used to be between women.
