Despite what I would have guessed was a very hostile environment to those of us who are &quot;gender diverse&quot; this pageant thing seems institutionalized in the very organizations that seem most vocally opposed to non-hetero-normative behaviour.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-50224078310397225152010-02-09T17:26:36.114-05:002010-02-09T17:26:36.114-05:00Dear Staci-Lana<br /><br />Once again, a great, resonant concept introduced here. &quot;Gender Diverse&quot;. I love it. It describes much. <br /><br />It seems to me that we in minority places on the gender continuum pit opposite sides against themselves, and battle for a winner to emerge. I think that, perhaps, and at least for me, the better path is to find the characteristics that express the Gender Diverse persons best facets, from both ends, most beautifully.<br /><br />I think when we do that, we do glow, whether we are in a pageant or not.<br /><br />Here is to more of those moments. You gave me one today.

Lady Erin P. best describes them as woman haters. I have dropped several posts about my personal experiences with these &quot;GUYS&quot;. <br /><br />In the words of WAYNE &quot;PARTY ON&quot;:)<br /><br />You Look Great&lt;<br /><br />NikkiNikki Fatalehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07384775373783091204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-10839516385115672962010-02-09T16:21:37.615-05:002010-02-09T16:21:37.615-05:00These posts are great! And I&#39;m sure you would be a perfect contestant in any Womanless Beauty Pagent.
