'“Miss Italy is not just a beauty contest, but it is part of the country’s cultural history. And excluding trans women automatically means excluding them from history, pretending they don’t exist”, he said. 

The protest by trans men has been commended by Italian LGBTQI activists, with one Twitter user declaring that this act is a “real political act of protest and visibility, not taken for granted or due, which hits the mark with respect to the statements of Mirigliani”. 

The praise for trans men challenging the “women in birth rule” continued internationally, with a Twitter user from Germany writing, “This is probably the best and most petty form of protest ever, I love it! Many thanks from Germany. We stand united, not only as Europeans but also as brothers, sisters, and siblings across the world. Be loud. Be proud. And stay safe”. '
