Pissed off in the morning..

[wheelieterp]

Reading thru my friend's list this morning, I came across an entry saying thatthe International Mr. Rubber Contest in Chicago has a rule that states, and I quote, "All contestants must be biologically male since birth". SAY WHAT?????

So I shot off a little email to the listed contact: rubberwilli@comcast.net......

Dear International Mr. Rubber Contest,

I am writing in regards to rule number two, "All contestants must be biologically male from birth". I would like an explanation as to why you think this kind of discrimination and bigotry is appropriate. This is 2005, for god's sake, I think it is time for us to leave our draconian, outdated, narrow minded and STUPID attempts to pigeonhole and define what is what in others behind. If you are worried about the definition of "Real Men" let me help you: Excluding others from your little contest because YOU think they are not real men is cowardly, immature and clearly does not fit into any definition of REAL MAN that I can think of.

So, from a guy who has been biologically male since birth, PLEASE do NOT lump me in with your definition of "REAL MAN". I don't want to be associated with cowardly bigots like you AT ALL.


Sincerely,
Steve Nail.

Perhaps I should have had coffee first.

Thanks for writing a letter. While I doubt that they'll get it or care, let alone change their policy, it's still good to let them know that not everyone agrees with their stupidity.
