planish,

Has anyone ever seen a “woman from birth”? Like a whole-ass adult woman popping out of somebody not appreciably larger than her? Ready for a beauty pageant at zero minutes old?

Completely independent of gender, people should know that “women” are adults and have zero overlap with “children” or especially “newborn infants”.

Or is this a bad translation from the Italian?

Morcyphr,

Perhaps it should say “female from birth”. But anyone with basic reading comprehension would understand this. Probably you know this and are being unnecessarily pedantic/argumentative.

some_guy,

This is a pretty awesome way to protest and show solidarity. These trans men are ballsy as fuck and I salute them.

hah, this one is funny!

Also, echoing @Imotali’s comment below (unfortunately you can’t sticky comments on lemmy): comments that express hate towards any group are a violation of instance guidelines. BE NICE.

Crampon,

Ok sure. But it’s not really an effective protest as they’re fulfilling the requirement to enter the competition. Because the competition is steered by judges they will simply eliminate the trans men in the first round.

The rule is there to make sure the judges are not sexually aroused when they see a trans woman.

A greater means of protest would be if the non-trans competitors all quit the pageant. But their look is their only talent, so they won’t.

FReddit,

I’d be more interested in protesting the fact that it’s now legal to grope women in Italy.

The landmark decision involved a school janitor who jammed his hand into a 17 year old girl’s panties.

Pick the hill you want to die on.

Both. I choose both.

Lazylazycat,

I’m sure they care about both of those things.

FReddit,

It seems like a particularly neanderthal legal development.

Lazylazycat,

Yes, it is.

heterophobe,

What is protest part? Not sure it is malicious compliance either because contestant was not rebirthed as woman. Not that it’s possible unless you are buddhist.
