Transphobe judge destroys woman's dream of competing in beauty pageant
The fight for true equality continues!
A judge in Oregon has upheld Miss United States of America LLC's policy banning trans women from competing in the beauty pageant, on the same day the Equality Act passed in the House of Representatives.
Anita Noelle Green was the first trans contestant for Miss Montana and was the titleholder for Miss Elite Earth Oregon 2019. But for the Miss United States of America pageant, she was deemed not good enough.
Green was banned from Miss United States of America's 2019 Oregon pageant on the basis that she is not a "natural-born female". So she sued the competition in December 2019, claiming its gender identity discrimination violated Oregon's public accommodations act, which says Oregonians have right to full and equal accommodations without any discrimination on account of race, religion, sex or sexual orientation.
Green's legal team also argued her exclusion from Miss United States of America infringes on her first amendment rights to free speech and free association.
However, district judge Michael Mosman sided with the pageant. He ruled Miss United States of America is an "expressive" organisation, rather than a commercial one, so it has a first amendment right to its "message" and isn't required to change it.
