While we're at it, let's reserve a slot for an openly gay male female impersonator, a morbidly obese contender, one in a wheelchair, and one with an allergy to peanuts. After all, beauty pageants are supposed to be about selecting role models, or temporarily noble figureheads, to cut ribbons and waive from parade floats. The above list best represents today's role models. For each token representative of a different special interest group, only one young lady who actually does look good in a swimsuit need be denied a chance to have a free university education, so that instead of her, the 'make-a-wish foundation' can help make the event unpalatable to commercial sponsors.
Maybe every NBA team should also be required to have at least one LGBT community representative, to waive from the bench, and draw the minimum salary, as the token beneficiary of their group identity, one through whom similar individuals can live vicariously, as if they have achieved something themselves.
Ironically, the same people who think this is a good thing are the same people who think beauty pageants should be banned, because they exclude those who believe pretty lies about themselves. They also 'feel' that Special Olympics gold medalists should have their images on a Wheaties box, as well; based on the 'equal pay for equal work' argument that the feminists use to try to persuade the gullible that women hockey players should be paid as much as NHL players. As if.
You show me a woman in a middle senior management 'buffer' job, and I'll show you an alcoholic non-smoker who can't make a decision if it bit her on the ass.

^ Just so you know, it was me who liked your post. You make valid and good points, can't argue that
Although I'm all for anyone trying out for their dreams, to do what they feel they can, to achieve, I also believe some people shouldn't be encouraged to do certain things.

For me, the problem is that there's no possibility that the young lady with Down's Syndrome can win the pageant, but she doesn't necessarily know that. It would be a joke if the gold medalist from gymnastics in the Special Olympics then competed in the 2020 Olympic Summer games, against the world's best, without patronizing. I also don't think a guy should be able to run head first into a concrete wall, in order to 'dumb himself down' enough to enter the Special Olympics, in other than the amateur class.
To me, it's really sad, when a six year old boy has decided that he wants to be part of the little girl beauty pageant circuit. It's almost as if his parental units are taking bids for 'first crack' at their son's colon, from the 'chicken hawk league'.
Mr Show with Bob and David had a parody of those little girl beauty pageants, in series 4, episode 3, ("Rudy Will Await Your Foundation"):
I mean, it's one thing, if a kid grows up, and decides that he's attracted sexually to his own gender, but it's another thing entirely to 'groom a kid to be gay', perhaps because he wore his mothers high heels and boa as a toddler, and sang a Broadway show tune. That's not 'enough evidence to convict'.
