Sheena Monnin, who represented Pennsylvania in the Miss USA 2012 pageant on Sunday, is being sued by pageant owner Donald Trump after claiming that the whole thing was decided before the pageant even started. Monnin says another contestant had seen a list of the top five contestants before the pageant even kicked off, and told her who they would be. Miss Pennsylvania also resigned from the competition, but says she resigned because officials were allowing transgender entries.
In response, Trump told the "Today" show, "What we’ve authorized today is we're going to bring a lawsuit. When she’s using the word 'fraud' -- that's pretty strong. So we're going to be suing her on that basis. The person that supposedly showed the list totally denies that that ever took place. This is a girl who went there, lost, she wasn’t in the top 15, and she's angry at the pageant system." But do you think Miss Pennsylvania may actually be telling the truth?

Don't know about Miss America
Miss America is an independent pageant and has no affiliation with any major pageants.
Miss USA, Miss Universe and Miss Teen USA are all part of the Miss Universe Organization and are all owned by Donald Trump. Miss Teen USA is hanging on by a thread due to poor ratings, etc. but Trump has kept it alive.
Miss Teen USA went cable a few years ago and it is a year-to-year decision if it will air or not. It may die.
A transgendered person is somone who is SURGICALLY changed from a male to a female or vice-versa. Cher's son, Chaz Bono was born a girl, Chastity, who was gay. She was surgically altered to a male, complete with a penis. The more common transgender is male to female which involves converting the penis and scrotum into a vagina. (OUCH!)
Plus, male to female or visa versa will still have their male or female chromosomes.
Can’t skirt this no matter what.
The Olympics used the chromosomes test to catch transgenders from competing in woman’s sports.
That’s right, there were transgender athletes and countries that knew about this and let them go and try it anyway.
Was during the cold war.
Transgender were caught trying to compete in women’s sports.
I am 67 years old and remember this clearly, but this was not a big news item then because at times some countries and their coaches plus their athletic managers were suspicious but did nothing because of these people's performance. They were caught at the testing and sent home. Their transgender surgeries were mostly done somewhere in the west.
This post is not to vilify transgender, they felt they were women and had great athletic prowess, (even as men) and they gave it a shot.
Steroids usage was ramped among the communist countries around the late Fifties through the seventies, but was vehemently protested from the western countries, plus the long term negative health ramifications was also at issue and its influence on youth.
Miss Canada was a Transgender, and very hot, very good looking.
Made it to the finals I think.
Forgot what Pageant it was, but this raised a big ruckus a few weeks ago.
Keeping it secret would be impossible in the long run. And on revelation, there would be a century of law suits in the works.
2) maybe it is rigged,
3) honestly does anyone care?
4) transgenders have the right to participate in pageants. Get over urself.
PS. On second thought, I'm goin with #3.....
