The pageant’s rules include the requirement that contestants be ‘natural born females’.
“The district court held that the First Amendment protected the Pageant’s expressive association rights to exclude a person who would impact the group’s ability to express its views,” judges for the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals decided.
“The panel noted that it is commonly understood that beauty pageants are generally designed to express the ‘ideal vision of American womanhood.’ The Pageant would not be able to communicate ‘the celebration of biological women’ if it were forced to allow Green to participate,” the ruling states.
