Transgenders in Miss Universe

This is a radical move in the history of women's beauty pageant especially the Miss Universe.
A transgender is allowed to join the pageant....


At this point of human history, the definition of being a woman has already evolved. It is not just about being born a natural woman. Science is a  factor. But there is more than just science... Is it the disposition, mindset or the new society dictates it?

The Philippines however is not yet ready for such change even in the near future. Our society is highly patriarchal and cannot easily accept such radical turning point. There will come a time when such will be embraced by this society.

I'm curious in what will be the new response for this perennial pageant question:
"What is the essence of being a woman?"

Will they stick to what is traditional? Or will it now be responsive to the radical move of Miss Universe?
