But let’s hold our horses for a moment and take a step back. Is this truly a victory for women, or is it just another case of radical progressive ideology infiltrating the world of beauty pageants? The liberal media and woke celebrities may be jumping for joy, but let’s not forget that biology still matters.
It’s no secret that the inclusion of transgender individuals in beauty pageants has sparked controversy in recent years. Think back to 2018 when Miss Spain Angela Ponce, also a transgender woman, failed to make it to the finals of Miss Universe. And last year, we witnessed the crowning of a trans winner in the Miss Greater Derry beauty pageant, hailed by the liberal media as an inclusivity milestone. It seems like being born a biological woman is no longer a requirement for these once time-honored competitions. What’s next? Dogs competing in the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show?
Some may argue that this is a triumph for diversity and inclusivity, but we must ask ourselves if it’s really fair to the women who have dedicated their lives to perfecting their beauty, grace, and poise. Are we diluting the essence of these pageants by allowing individuals who were born male to participate? It’s a question that should make us pause and reassess our priorities.
Koll’s Instagram posts and video statements may sound empowering and inspiring to some, but let’s not forget that the real competition should be focused on celebrating the true beauty of biological women. Koll’s declaration of “victory” as a transgender woman leaves us scratching our heads. The real victories are the achievements of those who accept and celebrate their natural selves, without the need for surgical alterations or pronoun switches.
As conservatives, we must continue to question the progressive agenda that seeks to rewrite the rules of traditional institutions like beauty pageants. Let’s not allow the woke liberals to dictate our values and hijack our cherished competitions. Beauty should be celebrated, but let’s ensure that it remains grounded in the reality of biology and the incredible accomplishments of biological women. For now, the crown may have been bestowed upon a transgender contestant, but let’s not forget the true queens of beauty who deserve their moment in the spotlight.
