No, in my previous post, I dealt with each example individually, not lumping them up into some broad category that has no relevance.
Despite what you may claim, if this was to come up at any level or sport, the governing body of that sport would make a choice based on many criteria, including the physical demands of the sport, there own prejudices and the social climate at the time.
To claim that the Icelandic Hockey Federation could somehow be bound to allow transgender players in sex segregated leagues, due to the choice made by the Miss Universe Pageant is unbelievably ridiculous.
However if you were to claim that over time, people in general will become more open minded about things that were previously misunderstood or feared by the general population, then that things will be allowed that previously would not have been. That would be a result of increased knowledge though and not because of the choice some antiquated pageant made about the disqualification of one of it's contestants.
