Good news! Transgender people would like to have all the rights they so choose in utter disregard for the rights of other people especially women!
Ms. Anita Green, the plaintiff, now has to find another beauty pageant! Why not a beauty pageant exclusive for transgender people?
I recommend to all biological female competitors of any event to boycott the even if transgender males are allowed to participate if she disagrees!
"... A 2-1 majority on a three-judge panel determined that the Nevada-based Miss United States of America pageant's message about womanhood cannot be divorced from its selection of participants. Forcing the pageant to accept the transsexual plaintiff would "fundamentally alter" the pageant's "expressive message in direct violation of the First Amendment." ..."
From the decision:
"The panel affirmed the district court’s summary judgment in favor of Miss United States of America, LLC, in an action brought by Anita Green, who self-identifies as an openly transgender female, alleging that the Miss United States of America pageant’s “natural born female” eligibility requirement violated the Oregon Public Accommodations Act (“OPAA”).
The district court held that the First Amendment protected the Pageant’s
expressive association rights to exclude a person who would impact the group’s ability to express its views. The panel agreed that summary judgment for the Pageant was correct, but reached this conclusion not under the First Amendment’s protection of freedom of association but rather under the First Amendment’s protection against compelled speech. ..."
