'The Thai owner of the Miss Universe pageant, which was once part of former US president Donald Trump's business empire, has filed for bankruptcy a year after buying it for $20m (£16.4m).
JKN Global Group has said it would try to resolve a "liquidity problem".
Its chief executive, Anne Jakapong Jakrajutatip, is a transgender woman who bought the firm as the pageant became more inclusive.'

It's a great loss. Women everywhere are devastated.

Oh.No.

This.Is.Awful.

Its chief executive, Anne Jakapong Jakrajutatip, is a transgender woman who bought the firm as the pageant became more inclusive.

The revised format will also feature at least two trans women for the first time after Marina Machete became the first transgender woman to win Miss Portugal and Rikkie Valerie Kolle was crowned Miss Netherlands in July.

You've got to laugh.

Sexist men who appropriate women fall foul of sexist men who want to objectify them instead.

Amazing how men decided they would be better at objectifying women than women could ever be and manage to take over and thus kill the thing stone dead.

Guilty confession though, I did love Miss World when I was little! All the national costumes.

I liked the National costumes. I don't recall watching it for years.

It's a bit creepy, like he bought a set of dolls to play with. Well, like Jezebel being shut down, it's not a great loss.

Those who are women psychologically (I am sure you will get the reference) just don't do it for the sexist objectifiers, well, well, who'd have thunk it.

There's a story with less Trump here

So a transwoman uses madey-uppy money to buy a female beauty contest in order to allow madey-uppy "women" to compete in it. And it"s gone a bit wrong. Who'da thunk it?

@BinturongsSmellOfPopcorn that is exactly the meme that sprang to mind!

He's so beeyootiful.

He also bought 2 surrogate children recently and became a "single mum". One is a designer eurasian baby because the thais have a huge fetish for fairskinned eurasians.

That's just bizarre. Those poor girls, how awful for them!

Oh, quelle fromage 😏
