How will they ever find anyone to win? I mean just look at the contestants they have left to choose from.

Finally, a country with common sense.

Mama mia, the horror!

I was so... ? when read that... here I am, the one thing I am... Italian... and just because I have a "dangling participle" so to speak, means I can't compete in their beauty pageant? I'm beautful as I am dang it, they have the gaul...[or maybe they are across the border somewhere] It's just a bunch of makeup separating the sexes ain't it? good grief, what's wrong with that country?

...

I can tell ya what's right though... they finally awoke and are doing things right... no pun intended, elected someone with a common sense... pushing back to traditional values, food is cheaper and better quality than USA (un-united sinking into debt states of america ca... directionally ), bathrooms are ample, the people are friendly, scenery amazing, roads good shape. I'm not seeing poor on the streets begging (out in the country side)... work ethic, etc..

If they start to control immigration and thus theft, we might have to move there... at least to get away from all the GMO garbage in USA food supply.

glad for their real women they can compete without having to expose their crotches to validate their sex and hope they tell USA to F off (no offense USA, we still love your concepts, just not the trend). After all... it might come down to that in Netherlands and Mrs Universe? Gynecological exam required going forward?

That leads me to wonder why in Mr Universe..."penis length, girth and strength" is not a consideration. makes no sense... bufuddled...

that's insane. someone's gotta have a dick to win

[Lliam]

Right? I mean, men are better at everything. 🤣

[jshm2]

Yeah well Italy has standards,

Also, Holland is a country where it's illegal to make something illegal. So they're fucking doomed anyway. So they've decided they might as well go to hell faster...

[FreyaRed]

It's fine according to mine common sense, there is mister universe and other male competitions where those MEN can compete.

[Daniela1982]

Because they weren't Trans Men?

[Lliam]

Yeah. I mean what has happened to beauty standards when only biological women can compete in women's beauty pageants? Outrageous! (sarc.)

[Anonymous]

I’m not 100 percent sure but to me it seems like you are hoping somebody will write a negative comment about trans people

[Lliam]

Only "Trans"women in women's beauty pageants.

[Opinion Owner]

Did you mean there should be a trans-women only beauty pageant?

[Opinion Owner]

Well to be honest I don’t think they did anything wrong.
If they want to make a competition for only people who were born female than trans people should respect their choice. There is much worse things to worry about.

Is this really the trivial nonsense that keeps people awake at night?

[Lliam]

It's a news story. And why are you on GAG if you're not into trivial nonsense?

[BigDog1989]

Gotta love the alt right, in both countries. NOT ALLOWING SHIT

[BootsLover94]

Lol cultural wars overrated
