Sheena Monnin: Miss Transphobic?

Miss USA loser Pennsylvania Sheena Monnin is very, very cross that she did not win last Sunday’s Miss USA competition. Also, eek - TRAAAANS! 

“Effective immediately I have voluntarily, completely, and utterly removed myself from the Miss Universe Organization,” beauty queen Sheena Monnin posted on Facebook. “In good conscience I can no longer be affiliated in any way with an organization I consider to be fraudulent, lacking in morals, inconsistent, and in many ways trashy.”

Monnin is accusing the pageant of being fixed, an accusation that her named sources entirely refute.

But what’s this?

In a statement, the Miss Universe Organization dismissed Monnin’s allegations as “false” and said Monnin told pageant officials she was resigning for a different reason: Because she did not agree with the organization’s recent decision to admit transgender contestants.

Pageant officials released an email message they said they received from Monnin on Monday that read, “I refuse to be part of a pageant system that has so far and so completely removed itself from its foundational principles as to allow and support natural born males to compete in it. This goes against ever (sic) moral fiber of my being.”

I see.

Look lady, you’re hitching your cart to the wrong wagon here. Olivia Culpo was named Miss USA on Sunday only after voicing her support to allow transgender women compete in beauty pageants, and encouraging women of all types to pursue their own happiness.

Plus, transgender Miss Universe Canada contestant Jenna Talackova is pretty much the most beloved and famous beauty queen in the world now. Though she didn’t take home the crown, Talackova was named Miss Congeniality in her pageant last month.

How long until NOM roles Monnin out as their newest spokesbigot?
