A man who was crowned “Miss San Francisco” will compete in the 2023 Miss California Pageant in July.
Monroe Lace, a man who identifies as a woman, won the Miss San Francisco pageant in March, qualifying the “beauty queen” to compete for the Miss California title next month. Lace is the first trans-identifying man to be crowned Miss San Francisco in the competition’s 99-year history.
“Every time I put on the sash, the weight of it reminds me of the weight of my job; of the responsibility I have to make a difference for young children,” Lace told CBS Bay Area.
Lace, 25, visits a different elementary school almost every day. In a video shown by the local CBS affiliate, Lace can be seen reading “Sparkle Boy,” a picture book about a boy who wants to wear women’s clothing, to a 4th-grade class at Tenderloin Community School.
The trans-identifying man told KRON 4 in March that he was “dreaming about this since I was 12 years old” and ran away from home.
In 2021, Kataluna Enriquez, another man identifying as a woman, competed in the Miss USA pageant as Miss Nevada. Lace seeks to be the second trans-identifying man to compete at the national competition. Another man competed in the Miss New Hampshire competition after being crowned “Miss Greater Derry” last November.
The Miss San Francisco winner claims to have received death threats and “mean comments about my appearance or the way I look.” Despite this, Lace is undeterred from his child-focused mission, saying that he “know[s] that there’s a trans kid out there … who is reading [Lace’s] story as well.” CBS interviewed one 4th grader, who described Lace’s appearance as “beautiful” and “normal.”
The push for men to compete in women’s competitions has become an intense cultural and political question, prompting GOP presidential hopeful Nikki Haley to label the issue “the women’s issue of our time.”
Female athletes like Riley Gaines and Paula Scanlon have spoken out against men in women’s sports, particularly concerning male swimmer Lia Thomas. Recently, ESPN commentator Samantha Ponder broke with her company’s orthodoxy to speak out against men competing in women’s sports.
Last year, a federal court ruled that Miss USA, whose winner competes for the Miss Universe title and is a separate organization from Miss America, could keep its “natural born female” policy under the First Amendment’s Free Speech clause.
“Miss San Francisco”.
Why am I not surprised?
I can hear the ladies start using terms like “separate but equal” in the near future in order get ... A League of Their Own?
A guy dressed up like a Sheila. Look at that!
And all the real females look so happy about it. Crazy.
Puke-a-rama.
I’ll bet a dollar he wins. Regardless of the competition.
How many elementary schools is that? Is it just to read a transgender book to 4th graders?
I like the propagandist bit where they found one student to say Lace is “beautiful” and “normal.”
Everyone knows men can be prettier women than women. At least according to the weirdos of the world.
Thinking back to my school days, I wonder how I would have turned out if not for all the beauty pageant winners coming to my school and making a difference in my life.
Would I have passed fourth grade math if not for Miss Massachusetts taking me aside into the cloakroom and teaching me long division and fractions? I will thankfully never have to answer that hypothetical question as I became quite proficient at long division and fractions thanks to that sash-wearing, smiling beauty...
i believe target has a new spokesmodel for their bulge-friendly bikini
dylan, eat your heart out
But of course. It would be considered bigotry and discrimination, to ban a man from a woman’s pageant.
The only people dumber than the organization that allowed this man to compete are the losing contestants cheering his victory.
“”And all the real females look so happy about it. Crazy.””
I guess we can chalk that up to it’s SAN FRANCISCO...they do look happy and pleased - SICK!!!! Are they all using the same dressing room?
He’ll probably win Miss California.
Gross. Disgusting.
*We* have a responsibility to do everything we can to keep these nasty, mentally deranged fetishists away from children.
With weiner wielding his influence in SF, who doesn’t believe the fix was in from the start. And yet, the loser women clap and smile, as will those in the statewide fiasco. It won’t end until women tire of being rolled and encouraged to enjoy it.
The U.S. Male has become an effeminate idiot with a man bun wearing feminine clothes.
