All right, a lot of hottopics to talk about, so we're just
gonna get straight to it. Michayla, you're kind of enthralled right now because
you had not seen Miss Alabama's pictureor Miss Maryland's picture. But you do
want to differentiate. Miss Maryland ispart of the WHAT organization. So you
know there's Miss USA, right,and there's Miss America and Miss Maryland,
the transgender Miss Maryland Usay, yes, that's Miss USA. The other one
(00:29):
Miss Alabama, the plus sized MissAlabama is Miss National American Miss which I
was saying to Mindy during the break, there are so many different types of
pageants, and this is a moreminor pageant, I would say, because
I was really maybe this is terrible. I was really surprised to see Miss
(00:51):
Alabama would have won Miss America orMiss USA in Alabama. That because sadly,
I mean, I'm programmed like everybodyelse that to be a beauty queen,
you have to look the part whichI'm not saying is right or wrong.
I'm saying it's what I've been programmedto think. So let me read
you this. Because Miss Alabama hasbeen posted all over the pictures. You
(01:12):
know her winning her getting crowned,and there's been a lot of feedback across
the country, and I want toread you something that was posted, and
it says, quote, we're notcalling out Miss Alabama because we're evil.
We're calling it out because allowing yourselfto become that obese should not be celebrated.
It's your choice how you want tolive, and making fun of someone
(01:33):
is not acceptable. However, callingsomeone Miss Alabama when you're four hundred pounds
is dangerous. It's dangerous because itteaches young girls that it's okay to become
obese. It teaches young girls thatbeing morbidly obese is acceptable and a preferred
into in society. And I getthat point of view, because you worry
about someone's health when you are thatlarge, especially heart disease. It's one
(01:56):
of the number one killers in America, and you don't strive for that.
And now that Miss Alabama is puton this pedestal, what will other little
girls think. I don't have aproblem with that merely as much as Miss
Maryland being a transgender. So letme go to Miss Alabama first before we
go into Miss Maryland. So shewants to use her platform again this is
(02:20):
a minor pageant circuit to celebrate bodypositivity. I don't have any problem with
body positivity, but for those ofyou who have not seen pictures, I'm
going to give you a comparison.There's a model that a lot of people
know named Ashley Graham who probably islike a size twelve, size fourteen to
size sixteen. She's a beautiful womanand healthy in her size, if that
(02:43):
makes sense. This is more thanthat, So I do see that is
hard when you have a platform.I agree with body positivity, and it's
your choice to live how you wantto live in that regard, but to
put it on a platform is differentfor little girls. And yes, you
have little girls who are struggling outthere and might be diabetic and might have
(03:04):
other things going on, and soit's probably really great to see her,
but from like an adult standpoint,her blood works probably really bad, yeah,
dangerously. And also you've got theother aspect of it as well.
A lot of these girls starve themselvesand become unhealthy because they're so skinny.
That's not a healthy lifestyle either.It's just not I wouldn't showcase a toothpick
(03:27):
saying glorify her that's not a healthyway to live. So you're looking at
two extremes. But like I said, it is what it is. My
beef is more with Miss's other one, a transgender being crowned Miss Maryland.
I'm sorry. I think it's wrong. I will never ever agree with it.
And I look at it like this, Mikayla. When we are born,
(03:49):
it is such a blessing, sucha gift from God to give a
parent or two parents a child,a baby, whether it's a baby boy
or a baby girl. That's howGod made you and that should be celebrated.
I have a problem with so muchbeing accepted now, with this whole
avenue, we've gone down. AndI also have a problem with so many
(04:10):
rights being taken away from women.This is a woman's pageant, Miss Alabama,
Miss Marylynd, Miss USA. Itshould belonged to a biological woman.
That's my thought. I think thisis wrong. Six one's beautiful. She
is beautiful or he or it whatever, she she is correct six one four
nine eight eight six sixty one fourtwo one WTVN In my eyes, I
(04:34):
kid, I just so she wasborn he correct. So here's what I'll
say. I have a close friendwho has a child who is transgender.
Okay, and it is the hardestroad, mindy, it is the hardest
road. But are you going todiscard your child because that is something that
(04:58):
they're going through? But talking aboutthat I'm talking about on this pet Yes,
So I'm going to go miss twolevels, right, so you just
wait or is a Christian? Nono, no no no. I can't
say no, no no, nono. And that's Marcus. That's like
not even a michaeleb thing. Butlike so I feel and I support this
friend. And I have a coupleof other lesser friends that have this situation
(05:21):
too in their lives, and Itry to support them because the human is
God's child, period. That's howI'm going to look at it. Choices
that are made ways that they feel. I can't look at that and do
anything about that in my world,But I'm going to support the people who
are going through it, and I'llsupport support their family as much as I
can't, you know what I mean. Like so for me, that is
(05:44):
what it is. It's not myjob to talk about it that they have
a child, and it's just notit's personally not my place. But this
confuses me and it's like how sportsconfuses me. I think you have to
play. Allowing boys to play girlsschool, Yeah, you have to play,
or you have to participate. Ithink to your naturally born gender.
(06:09):
I think it's fair. I thinkit's what needs to happen. Bodies are
so different, chemistry is so different, So I'm not the skill level.
Skill level is so different. Thiswoman, Bailey Ane Kennedy, is beautiful,
her husband is in the military.First Asian American and military wife to
win the title. I just didn'tknow this was allowed in the rules,
(06:31):
I guess. And for me,when you allow something like that and the
rules, you change the game likeyou do in sports. Absolutely same thing
in beauty pageants. So I hada world come to this is what our
country has come to, and Idisagree with it. I just do I
think if you're going to go tothe extreme and change yourself or you know
what, Basically what you're saying isGod was wrong. God made a mistake.
(06:54):
I shouldn't have been a boy.I should be a girl. Well,
you know what, God doesn't makemistakes. Why do you think,
though, and this is an honestquestion, why do you think this is
in folks heads? Like, whoare going through this? Do you know?
Can you figure out the rationale?No? But I can't. I
can't. I think I just don't. It comes from Do you think it
starts with parents wanting Oh my gosh, I wanted a little boy, but
(07:17):
I had little a little girl,and they put it in the good friend's
case. Absolutely not. Okay,Well, you know what when I substitute
taught in elementary schools and I'm dealingwith little first and second greaders and they're
so confused and their mom would painttheir fingernails certain color, How does the
little first or second year old evenput that in their mind? Too many
(07:39):
people talk about it, but parentsare also. I think it's both.
So you think parents are pushing.Absolutely do in some cases, In some
cases every case, I do thinkso. In some cases, I've seen
it. I've seen it. Whatdid you think about Bruce Jenner when all
Caitlyn Jenner. I think it's allcrazy. I am such a traditional that
(07:59):
way. I just think it's crazy. It's my own humble opinion. I
don't care. I think it's absolutelycrazy. If what what happened, if
one of your kids and I wouldchange, it's crazy but would you still
love them and support them. I'malways gonna love them, but I would
think they're wrong, and I wouldtell them, no, God made you
a boy, God made you agirl. But still say, and you
(08:20):
be who you are who God madeyou. But you can still come to
Sunday. But of course you canstill come to Sunday dinner. Yes,
I will always real you, butI'm gonna tell them if they're wrong,
and I think that's wrong. AndI think that's what we miss, right,
Like opinions, folks, it's okayto have an opinion. It's okay,
it is okay, it is okay, but it's just really through me
for a loop. But I crossed, like that's where I kind of cut,
(08:43):
you know, like yeah, andwhen you should have seen your face
when you look that picture. Butif you look, let's say, oh
my gosh, twenty five fifty yearsago, I could not even imagine having
this conversation with my grandpa, aman of bands, if he were ever
to think some little boy is goingto grow up and become a little girl
or vice versa. It just wasn'tthe way it was back then, and
(09:05):
the bodies we all still felt different. I mean you felt the same.
A human is a human, nomatter what century you live in. All
God's children, all God's children.All right, that ten minutes went by
really queer way over. All.Right, We've got though, you guys,
We have something that everyone will enjoythis summer. Sure, drive away.
Can't wait to introduce you to theWestcott House after the break. This
is what matters on six' tenWTV in
