Love it. They wanted a gender neutral category, they got one. So neither men or women entered it, as they happily entered a gender neutral category ;)

So, the "they" who won aren't men, as there's no gender innit ;)

I don't think you should, especially if it scares you, put it out of your mind and chill :thumbup:
That doesn’t entirely make sense. If “it” scared me, I’d be giving a shit.

Yes.
Do you care about all men who don't "pretend to be women" or are you selective? I'm not judging you or trying to catch you out, it's just that I try to think of all people as people. Normally, my attitude towards them changes because of what they do, not what* they are. Of course, a beautiful, intellingent, young woman with a wonderful personality is crossed off my list instantly. :twisted:

* eg: men, women, children, none of these, black, brown, sickly pinky yellowy, etc

A man masquerading as a woman is doing something, not “being” something and I am dubious of their motives. They could gain my respect, but they’re off to a bad start.

Why don't you take a positive angle on it and give them the benefit of the doubt, before you hate them.
People (you in this case) use the word “hate” too much. I only said I doubt their good intentions.

If nobody judged anybody on appearance or early impressions, the World would be a funny place.
