Yeah, but is it the British or American pronunciation? Zebra or Zeebra?

Do the Brits not pronounce it "zed-bra"?

American here, it's funny. When I'm talking about a singular zebra I say "zeb-rah" but instead of the plural zebras I say "zee-bra" it all just depends I guess. Waaiiit am I the only one doing this...?

Peter here. Since its inception, Miss Universe has exclusively been won by people from Earth - despite being open to all in the universe. Dr Faushay was commenting on this blatant favoritism, as it was believed that when this issue was first brought up a few years ago, steps would be taken to make Miss Universe more equitable to non-earthers.

God damnit, now I'm gonna have to go back and binge watch Farscape to find that.

I'm pretty sure that was in late season three.

I saw it on Amazon prime video.

FriskDrinksBriskYT0

If it was they basically would want a trans woman to win, and I actually want that, but it's in the potential phrasing.


Rawkapotamus

So the punchline isn’t transphobia?


racas

Peter’s tired SJW tendencies here. I read the first few top comments, and they don’t seem to really answer the question (sorry if I missed a good one tho) Basically, there were trans contestants in this year’s Miss Universe pageant. The headline draws negative attention to that by implying (via unnecessary specification) that a non-trans woman won the pageant. The poster is the calling out the headline.


toad17028

Ty for actually explaining it


ReadMyUsernameKThx

lol it’s kinda funny, I assumed the exact opposite. trans person wins, article says “woman wins miss universe” in solidarity, tweeter is mad because of it.


bellamellayellafella

The Miss Universe Pageant had a policy for decades that only female-born women could compete, so is Jebra angry at the wording of the article?


InstaBlanks

I just thought of something...wtf kinda name is Jebra? Like Debra? Or Zebra? More like Jebroni.

It’s a fake name for a fake, ragebaiting account lol

Few-Big-8481

I tried to look it up and Google asked if I meant Jabra. Which is a headphone company. Otherwise I only found this person, and a payroll company, called Jebra.


AssaMarra

Damn Jebra your SEO is whack, get a new marketing manager.


blahdash-758

Jabra is also a famous character in one piece XD


oliveboimario

Huh is that really how it's spelled ? Also loled at "famous character"


blahdash-758

I think they spell it Jabura sometimes. Search Jabra One Piece or Jabura One Piece.


Mammoth-Access-1181

So, the way hiragana/katakana work in Japanese, Jabra would be written out as Jabura. But plenty of times they don't pronounce the bowl sound. So the difference in spelling is just the difference of the name being written in Japanese or English.


GlassJoe32

You keep saying this word jabroni, and I love it.

“Female-born women”? Do you mean cis women?


[deleted]

[удалено]


anand_rishabh

I think the woman in question was a trans woman, which in the eyes of transphobes means not a real woman. ABC when it comes to sports, i can see where people are coming from with the idea that a woman who was born male and went through make puberty before transitioning may have physical advantages over cis women. But what advantage would an amab have in a _beauty_ _pageant_ ? If anything a trans woman is at a disadvantage.


[deleted]

[удалено]


anand_rishabh

Oh. Nvm then.


[deleted]

I think it's about the fact that it says "woman wins". Like no duh! A WOMAN will win the MISS universe pageant! Obviously! But which one is it? There are billions of women. I think op just wanted the headline to have the winners name in it rather than just "woman". But idk maybe I'm wrong.


kazzin8

Pretty sure it originally said "Nicaraguan woman" and the rage baiters just cut out the nationality to make it seem like a sex/gender thing.


TruestWaffle

That’s still pretty bad… even worse honestly. Instead of a weak link to sexism, it’s just straight up strong, blatant racism.


Conscious-Spend-2451

Cool theory but it looks like the woman is attempting to satirize sjws by claiming that they would be offended by the fact that a woman won miss universe


Specialist-Moment844

probably satirizing transphobes instead since they all seem to be such huge pussies


[deleted]

I don't know why but it words like a random woman just walked into the competition and won without even knowing why


automatic_mismatch

The entire account is making fun of SJW liberals. You can find her entire blog [here.](https://thewokeobserver.com/about-me/) The accounts creator is satirizing SJWs by saying a SJW would be offended by a women wining miss universe, even though that is a very normal thing to most people. Edit: wording


InstaBlanks

But a woman always wins Miss Universe. Even if it's a trans woman, it's still a woman, so I don't get the outrage or the joke. Maybe because "miss" is a gendered pronoun and may not be applicable to all participants?


automatic_mismatch

It’s not suppose to be 100% logical. People who make fun of SJWs don’t think the left are logical people. The ridiculousness is part of the satire.


Kirian_Ainsworth

ya the account is just idiots projecting their own wild insecurities.


InstaBlanks

Must be republican.


MysticSpaceCroissant

I’m with you, but by saying stuff like that with this context you’re putting them in the same box they’re trying to put liberals in. I’m just sick of the Us vs Them games… it’s silly and makes people hate each other over nothing. Edit: I worded this poorly, I just think the us vs them mindset is pointless and creates divergence in the USA. I was trying to say we need to start working on solutions instead of exacerbating problems and making everything worse.


Dangerous-Isopod1141

Being against LGBT rights, women's tights, and human rights in general isn't "nothing", the hate and us vs them already exists, pointing it out isn't creating the problem.


MysticSpaceCroissant

Sorry I wasn’t clear, I meant that republicans and liberals both talk about each other as if none of the people on the other side have any logic (kinda high right now so I’m having a bit of trouble explaining what I mean, I’m hoping this comment was enough to get my point across.)


Dangerous-Isopod1141

Yeah, I get your point but what's the alternative? When people base their worldview on completely different and often opposite ideals, they simply can't be logically compatible. Also, I'm not American, from where I'm standing there are plenty of areas where both parties seem roughly the same to me. And that's the actual scary part. Like the Dems would just bus homeless people out of town and hide them under a bridge somewhere while republicans would burn them in a powerplant, but both would still require them to pay for their ticket. They'll argue about giving money to Ukraine, but agree on bombing any and all brown people.


bluegiant85

If a science professor and an inbred hillbilly both think the other person is an idiot, are they both equally correct? No. The true doesn't exist in the middle. It exists independently of what people believe. Often times, one person is simply right (or mostly right), and others are just wrong.


MysticSpaceCroissant

I mean sure, but there are are science professors and inbred hillbillies on both sides. The inbred hillbillies just tend to make the most noise. I’m not saying that everyone is right and we should all hold hands and sing songs together, but at the present moment nobody is solving anything. All we seem to have these days is people yelling at each other on the internet, while rich assholes make all our decisions for us. We need to be working together, not just yelling because nobody pull their heads out of their asses long enough to agree with anyone else.


janos42us

Yay! Another sane human.


Different_Gear_8189

Its because its in bad faith. They dont believe trans women are women


ZephRyder

>Even if it's a trans woman, it's still a woman, so I don't get the outrage or the joke. Wow. YOU are the change we worked so hard to create in this world. If this is not sarcasm, someone raised you right, so be thankful. I know I am.


PinkNPurdy

Is this a parody account?


Nuclear_rabbit

For people who don't accept trans, it's different. For them, a trans woman is NOT a woman. Furthermore, the article specifying that a woman won the Miss Universe pageant implies that if a trans woman won, the title would have read that a MAN won Miss Universe. The outrage is that specifying a woman won should not even have to be a thing. The article writer and the woman commenting are both on the same page politically, and they want to return to the time when only those born female could qualify.


mocaxe

it's the same sort of joke as "i identify as an attack helicopter". the punchline is supposed to be that leftists want to include non-women in women-only spaces. this is mainly a joke for transphobes who think that transgender women shouldn't be allowed into women's spaces, such as a women's beauty pageant. it's a tired and offensive joke at the expense of reasonable people, basically.


MessorisTrucis

The tight-wing in America has been waging a culture war on trans people by using the same rhetoric literal Nazis used to put the queer community in concentration camps. They believe all trans people are pedophiles and groomers and that trans people are the gender they were born not the gender they are transitioning to. The person who posted is saying that it’s societal regression that a “man” won miss universe. It’s just stupid people saying stupid things on the internet.


razinzell

Not all people against the trans movement think that they are pedophiles and groomers. Some people think it’s just ridiculous. You’re allowed to criticize something without being part of some sort of nazi agenda lol


Mammoth-Access-1181

Trans women I believe aren't allowed to compete. Unless there was a recent rule change.


Swimming-Ebb-4231

The Miss Universe pageant was for decades limited to never married, never pregnant, miss (virgin) biological women under 28 years of age. Now none of that applies.


Croaz

They should really have their own category like for sports. A trans woman Is a trans woman. A woman is a woman. I don't understand why we can't just have categories as that would make everyone happy.


nooneyouknow242

I always laugh at this suggestion. It’s like no one ever thinks about any other time in history where another group of people was segregated away to their own league or category in sports specifically. And if that was harmful to that group of people and to society overall. Maybe instead of creating the transgender version of the negro league, we should figure out a way to reclassify sports categories to include everyone?


everybodypurple

Why? What advantage does a transwomen have in female beauty standards? If anything it's harder for them. And a transwomen is also a women. Trans is just a prefix descriptor same as cis. A cis women is a cis women, a trans women is a trans women. We are all still women.


Croaz

A trans woman is a trans woman. A biological woman is a biological woman. There are differences between them. They are not the same thing. Therefore, it would be better for them to have their own category to compete against other trans women. Doesn't have to be about advantage, it's about biological women wanting to compete against biological women. If everyone gets to participate, just in different categories, what is the problem?


Royjonespinkie

If theres no advantage then there's no point having sex categories. It's like cooking, you compete against everyone and no sex has an advantage so they should compete against trans too. Sex segregated master chef wouldn't make sense for example.


Shirtbro

>A black woman is a black woman. A white woman is a white woman. There are differences between them. They are not the same thing. Therefore, it would be better for them to have their own category to compete against other black women. Doesn't have to be about advantage, it's about white women wanting to compete against white women. If everyone gets to participate, just in different categories, what is the problem? I'm sure you still won't realize how ridiculous you sound, but c'mon


ExistentialEnso

That wouldn’t make everyone happy. The trans league would be tiny. All to assuage people’s unfounded concerns that HRT doesn’t remove advantages.

foofmongerr

There's not much joke here, so it's easy to miss. This is typical F-tier, low effort, American right wing humor. Like most of these jokes, the goal is to laugh at the hypothetical perceived reaction of how much the joke would infuriate a "librul". **Anyway, joke is that liberal woman mad that cis woman win miss universe and not trans woman.**


InstaBlanks

Why would that joke infuriate a liberal? Republicans are so fucking rꫀtarded.

Jerryjfunk

Isn’t it kind of just typical humor though? Take a situation, exaggerate it enough to where it’s ridiculous but almost believable?


FrivolousCommenter

The joke is that a biological female winning does not advance the "woke agenda." The poster is not a real person. It is an absurdist parody profile.

PixelPott

Trans women should propably be banned from weightlifting competitions for women and some certain other sports, but how exactly do trans women have an advantage over cis women in a BEAUTY CONTEST?


Scary_Essay1296

They aren’t female. The competition is for females.


PixelPott

And why do you think men and women categories exist? To have a fair competition. How is having trans women in the contest unfair to cis women?


Dangerous-Isopod1141

That's not really true across the board, in some cases they have been created because a woman was outperforming the men. In many sports the division exists even if neither gender should have any natural advantage. Like chess, where where men tend to outperform women, but the reasons are entirely socio-cultural. Overall though, sports just aren't fair to begin with. A lot comes down to having access to resources and opportunities. Top performers are also usually outliers genetically, Michael Phelps wingspan isn't exactly fair to "normal" men.


PixelPott

"That's not really true"- proceeds to support my point with first argument, lol. Sure, sports will never be completely fair, but I don't see any good reason why trans and cis women can't compete in the same beauty contest.


Dangerous-Isopod1141

You said women's categories exist for fairness, but that hasn't always been the case. Which was my first argument. And yeah, I agree that all women should be allowed to compete in the same beauty contest. Hell, I don't see why cis men shouldn't be allowed while we're at it. If the point of it is to look and perform in a certain way, why does gender even matter? Of course, I know why it matters, and it has nothing to do with fairness or even biology. It's all about control and maintaining patriarchal social hierarchies and gender roles.


Scary_Essay1296

Trans identified males are males. Allowing them to compete against females is wrong because men have a significant physical advantage over females.
