Most of us didn’t watch the Miss Universe Pageant on Saturday night. Heck, most of us didn’t know the annual pageant aired on Saturday. When there was a confused and confusing headline on Sunday morning, I thought that the new Miss Universe was a biological male or transwoman. The headlines were so bad that HITC. a British entertainment website, felt the need to publish an article titled, “MISS UNIVERSE 2023 WINNER R’BONNEY GABRIEL IS NOT TRANSGENDER OWNER ANNE JAKRAJUTATIP”. For someone like me who grew up loving all beauty pageants, it was a relief and a surprise that R’Bonney Gabriel is not a transwoman.
It was a relief that R’Bonney Gabriel is a real woman and a surprise because, apparently, men really are better at everything including being women. A teenage boy won the Miss Greater Derry Pageant in New Hampshire. An overweight teenage boy, at that. Shushing women who point out that Transwomen are men is a further step in the erasure of women.
