From now on, transgender people will not be allowed to participate in the Miss Italy beauty pageant, because Rome wants to avoid the fate of the Netherlands.
It should be remembered that the Miss Nederland 2023 beauty pageant in the Netherlands was won by a transgender woman, so she will represent her country at the 72nd Miss Universe pageant.
The Miss Italy pageant bans transgender women from competing, saying contestants "must be female from birth," Insider reported.
The organizers announced the change following the news that a trans woman won the beauty pageant in the Netherlands this year. The official patron of Miss Italy, Patrizia Mirigliani, told Radio Cusano earlier this month that she considers the efforts of other beauty pageants to include transgender people "a bit absurd".
