The Netherlands crowned its first #transgender #MissNetherlands winner, Rikkie Valerie Kollé, year.
About a week later, Patrizia Mirigliani, the official organizer of #MissItaly said that Miss Italy wouldn’t allow #TransWomen to compete. Only people who were assigned female at birth are allowed to enter.
Result: #TransMen have heard this call for participants who were assigned female at birth, and more than 100 have entered the Miss Italy pageant by now.
