You're right, it's not fair! She's gorgeous and she was a gorgeous child too.

I hope she wins!

Not everyone has fully evolved to accepting that this young transgender woman should be treated just like any other woman, but everyone agreed that she is beautiful.

And while I'm generally not one to care much for any beauty pageant, in this case it might help the most disenfranchised of the LGBT community build a little hope.
