Locking this, getting reports on about 95% of the comments that come in for transphobia.
Please remember the rules about bigotry when commenting.
Oh yeah the amount of hate I’ve seen is insane. People never give a shit about who wins but now it’s the end of the world and the end of 200 years of feminism apparently. God the things the internet cares about are pathetic
Cool! Congratulations to her!
I genuinely smiled of joy reading this. My day is brighter now. Thank you for posting.
That is not a very flattering picture of her - there are better ones.
- Plus they misgender her in the title of the article... like what the actual fuck?
  
  Where? Are you talking about the word “actor”? That’s used by both men and women.
Freddy Mercury wants his smile back.
- Opening a fresh bottle of hatorade, or you dipping back into the one leftover from yesterday?
At first, I didn’t understand the headline. Since it’s the Netherlands (and I’m American) for a second I thought Trans was her name.
I have two things to say in my defense. One, I only woke up an hour ago. Two, “trans” is the first word in the headline, so it’s capitalized.
I know, I know. I’m still an idiot. Shut up.

- I'm sure that the Netherlands doesn't feel anything for you at all.
- Actually, they're not only judged on appearance.
- Aphex Twin
- Your bigotry is not welcome here.
  
  I think women are entitled to competitions without having to compete against men.
- They didn't lose to a man in drag silly, they lost to a woman.
