Rules are rules.

Rules are rules isn't a good reason though. What if someone had a rule saying gay people couldn't get married? Or black people couldn't sit at the front of a bus? Civil disobedience against unjust laws is what advances societies.
In this case, obviously we're not talking about a law or a situation near as significant as Rosa Parks and her bus ride, but still it's in the same vein. The contest is about being the best looking female. If a guy who took hormone therapy and stuff and had his genitals butchered up a few years prior can pull off the "best looking female" trick enough to get into this Miss Universe Canada business, then I think the results speak for themselves. There's no need to make arbitrary rules keeping someone from participating when, clearly, someone not biologically female can still look good enough as a female to compete.

I am not bashing America. I am stating facts. Americans seeing a change in rules and being told "hey, Canada is doing it this way now, should we do it?" would have predictable results.

I think that if this woman is disqualified, then women who get breast implants should be disqualified. Same with make-up....and hair-do's. Anything that modifies your NATURAL state of being...should be disqualified.

So you want women to get out of bed and shamble out onto stage with no make-up or hair-do's or anything? I actually kind of laughed writing this. That would be a funny pageant, seeing a bunch of grumpy, unkempt women on stage looking all bedraggled and so on.
