Transgender woman wins Miss Nevada USA pageant, making history
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
A transgender woman has been crowned Miss Nevada USA — for the first time in the pageant's history.
Kataluna Enriquez, 27, who only began competing last year in cisgender pageants, was named the winner Sunday in the competition at the South Point hotel-casino in Las Vegas, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.
"One thing that is important for me is inclusivity, diversity and representation. It's something I did not have growing up and is still lacking in today's world," Enriquez said.
"Today I am a proud transgender woman of color. Personally, I've learned that my differences do not make me less than, it makes me more than," she continued.
She beat out 21 other candidates to represent Nevada at the Miss USA pageant that will be held on Nov. 29, the outlet reported.

Enriquez — who previously was crowned Miss Silver State USA in March — competed in several gowns that she designed herself, including a shimmering number with rainbow sequins.
"I did not always have money and it's hard for women to find dresses that fit their bodies," she said. "Pageantry is so expensive and I wanted to compete and be able to grow and develop skills and create gowns for myself and other people."

Enriquez said that she joined the competition to share her story and show that she's more than "just a body."
"With pageantry, people think it is only about beauty. But it's how you present yourself, what you advocate for, what you've done and the goals you have," she said.

This is what rock-bottom for a society looks like.
I only want to know one thing: Who were the judges?

You should have told that to Bill Ayers when he was planting bombs.
Bill Ayres is a far left wing radical HERO!
Aw, you were not invited to Bill A's and Bernadine D's famous supper with Tucker C and Andrew B? Too bad Andrew died before he and Bill could go on their planned road trip, the collected yarns would have put Kerouac to shame.
The left celebrates a known terrorist.
Bill Ayers? You guys must be desperate if you are bringing up Bill Ayers, who hasnt been in the news in many years.
This is a Bing search for recent news about Bill Ayers.
https://www.bing.com/news/search?q=%22bill+ayers%22&qft=sortbydate%3d%221%22&form=YFNR
It came back with 8 items, none of which is specifically about Ayers, and none of which are of any consequence.
LOL.
Compared to the guys 'n gals the right celebrates, Ayers was small stuff.
Lol.
yeah murder is small potatoes whenever a left wing radical is doing it.
Who did Bill Ayers kill? BTW ... I am not a fan of Bill's.
He was a leader of a terrorist group.
Have you never heard of his group blowing up 3 of their own while making bombs to attack Americans with?
Good for you. Plenty of leftists are.
He attacked police stations, the U.S. Capitol, and the Pentagon.
And was rewarded with a tenured position to educate the next generation. Normal stuff.
Oh, like the radical communist Angela Davis.
Leftist heroes and heroines.
That was a good thing, no? As for plenty of leftists being fans? Definitely not for blowing stuff up. His Rules for Radicals perhaps but then the radicals from the right used them also ... they appear to work.
In the meantime Ayers has been a model citizen since the early 1970s.
Probably wasn't so good since they destroyed a 4 story building and damaged others around it.
Maybe those displaced have a different opinion than you on it.
Sorry, I don't give a flying fuck if Ayers has been a "model citizen" since then. He was a domestic terrorist, plain and simple. I won't excuse his actions or the actions of his little gang of henchmen.
i saw Angela Davis speak when I was in college. What was very amusing was that she was escorted on stage by her armed bodyguards in pseudo, soulful uniforms who marched and executed movements around her in a unique manner - like the military on soul train.
He was a mentor to Barak Hussein Obama
They knew each other. That doesn't make him President Obama's mentor.
No, but Roy Cohn was Trump's mentor....
[ This stands, unless the seeder wants to flag the entire subthread as off topic. ]
What does a 60s radical have to do with the topic at hand?
Why does it not surprise me that this would happen in Nevada?
Seems fitting for the land of legal brothels and casinos.
Although they came blew in from a slightly different direction, they are the pedigree for wokeness.
Why does it not surprise me that this would happen in Nevada?
It should'nt happen anywhere.
Where are the feminists who should be standing up for women?
So... What does any of this have to do with a beauty pagent?
Just because Ayers, the Weather Underground terrorist/University of Illinois Education professor, hasn't been arrested, convicted, or imprisoned doesn't mean that he didn't poison and indoctrinate the vulnerable, unformed brains of college students during his tenure for decades.
Care to explain why? I'm sure you won't, but I feel obligated to ask.
Meh. I can think of many things that would be worse. The mere existence of pageants, for starters.
It has gotten even crazier...

Maybe like the leading fashion designers, they'll replace women with young boys.
Behold the ideal woman. Real women are inadequate.
Manly, hairy, bony legs may be the secret!
It's not about superficial fluff and wrappings. Being a woman is about more than appearance. The ideal woman is more like a man.
Is that what pageants do? Determine the ideal woman?
Not for me, I prefer my own criteria.
A vagina is a plus.
USED to be.
Now it isn't even a requirement for beauty pageant contestants, apparently.
Is that part of the talent contest?
Bless your heart, Vic, [Deleted] But you did post the article. Thank you for that.
Good Job. The fine people of Nevada have proven that in order to be the ideal female, you have to be a dude.
The lefts war on biological women continues.
How is it than trans women are something the 'left' is responsible for? How are we responsible for any person who is trans?
How is the 'left' waging war on biological women?
Can't go along with that myself. Hardly seems equitable.
Of course, Billy Jean King did beat Bobby Riggs in straight sets.
You think that was on the level?
Bobby Riggs was one of the most corrupt athletes of all time. He made Pete rose look like a choir boy.
It was a work. Similar to a professional wrestling match with betting allowed, making the mob the big winner.
He was 26 years older than King, too.
He was a hustler throughout his career.
Kind of makes you wonder how he beat Court so badly, though.
So how is the 'left waging war on biological women'?
Just like you say that trans women disrespect biological women. How are they doing that?
You've never had an answer for that either.
Cuz this is totally the same thing. /s
Yep, in both cases it is allowing biological men to compete against biological women.
Are you suggesting that in any competition between men and women, a man would always win because he’s a man?
No. Are you suggesting that there are no competitions between men and women where a man does not have an unfair advantage because he’s a man?
Then why are you concerned about allowing a biological man to compete against biological women in the context of this seed?
No. Seriously, Google “context.”
Maybe beauty pageants?
At least it’s kind of hard to argue that she had an unfair advantage.
Woke judges gave him an unfair advantage.
I guess judges have their preferences. Some like brunettes. Some like big boobs. Some like good singers or dancers. Some like the way they walk. Some like the way they talk.
In each pageant, the rules specify the criteria for winning and each judge brings their own sense of what qualifies to win in the various categories. It’s usually some combination of the qualities I just referenced - e.g. beauty, poise, swimsuit, evening gown, talent, ability to answer a question, etc.
You know what’s never done? They don’t put the ladies in stirrups and stand around to admire their vaginas. They’ve also never busted out the microscopes to examine their chromosomes.
In other words, the qualities that you seem to think are so central to winning a pageant, never have been.
Uh Huh, and it took until 2023 for them to realize the best person in a beauty pageant was a guy.
Are you suggesting the winner was chosen solely, or in major part because she is biologically male? Because if that were the case, it seems to me any random dude could have been chosen. They could have just trotted the valet or the janitor out there in their uniform or their tightie whities and dispensed with the rest of the proceedings.
Why didn’t that happen, you suppose?
Because the valet and the janitor did not have the tons of plastic surgery and cosmetic implants needed to be a fake woman like he did.
So your problem then, is not with the biology of the winner, but with the plastic surgery.
I haven’t seen their rules. It may be that being a woman isn’t even a requirement. But even if it is, I doubt they are running tests on anyone. What would be the point? Is the winner supposed to get pregnant?
I also don’t know what their rules are regarding plastic surgery. How about the girls with the nose job? Or skin bleaching? What if somebody was a burn victim? Hell, what about makeup and hair?
I mean if you want a Pageant of the Natural Woman, there’s always my wife at 7am. Be careful what you wish for.
Yes it is the biology of the winner. The winner is,was and will always be male. Chemical injections and cosmetic surgery can not change that biological fact. He was born with XY chromosomes, he has XY chromosomes now, and he will have XY chromosomes until he dies. That is scientific fact. Biology ang genetics are both sciences you know.
If the pageant organizers don’t care, why do you?
I bet she's very stunning at 7 am
Oh yeah. Hottest girl in the room.
I thought those pageants disallowed anyone that has had any cosmetic surgery to participate. I sure this dude has had a ton of plastic and cosmetic surgery. I wonder if he still has his junk.
Just about all of these freaks do.
Just who are you calling freaks, Greg?
I don't know who Greg is calling freaks but I call Jerrod Jennings, William Thomas, Bradley Manning, Christopher Beck, Bruce Jenner, Chastity Bono, Ellen Page freaks.
Men who impersonate females (biological women) and pretend to be something they are not...and make a big deal about it . In my opinion they are emotionally disturbed imposters. Your mileage may vary.
All the wishing and hoping and praying and hormone therapy can't change someone's gender. This foolish dissing of lesbians is just another example of their collective mental problems.
That is according to science.
Have any of those people whom you deem freaks done quantifiable harm to you or others?
They have not done any harm to me but many have done harm to real biological women.
They have done no harm to anyone.
Are you trying to tell me that William Thomas did not hurt Emma Weyant and Erica Sullivan and other actual biological women that he raced against and beat in races? Racing against men he had no chance to go to the NCAA championships.
I'm not trying to tell you dick - they have done no harm to anyone much less a biological woman.
No need to tell me dick. I have one of my own. You might ask the real women that have worked all their lives to achieve something important to them that was taken away from them by a man, a hypodermic needle and maybe a scalpel if they were harmed. You also might ask the tranies that now regret their transitions and are detransitioning. Ask the women that have ben raped and/or sexually assaulted by men who claimed they were women in order to access the women's restrooms including the girls from those Virginia highschools and middle schools. Ask those contestants in Nevada if they felt they were harmed
I doubt it

The most beautiful one won. What does that say?
You like men who present themselves as women? You think they are normal? Would you date one?
It's not about me. I wasn't one of the judges...
You are the one here that said he was beautiful were you not?
Cannot be ugly and beat beauty queens...
Just need woke judges that care more about making a statement to match their beliefs.
With enough plastic surgery and body putty almost anything is possible
It's also difficult for biological men like you to find dresses that fit their bodies.
Well he probably just gets more surgery to get a dress to fit him.
Seems that these transgenders don't know how biological women enhanced themselves centuries and decades ago - less invasively and much more inexpensively ... bras stuffed with tissues (or whatever), girdles, and bustles come to mind!
I remember my sisters doing that.
You think transexuals don't know that?
The PN I received from you about your comment 11.1.3 was your original comment (I still have it, btw). You then altered comment 11.1.3 describes something completely different. Drag queens or transexuals, JBB? Which?
Quite frankly, I don't care what biological men use to fill their bras.
You sure seem to know a lot about it
I know a lot about a lot of things. Is there anything in particular you'd like to know about my knowledge? If there is, please feel free to ask, and I'll gladly reply as best as I can.
