Miss Italy bans transgender people from participating in pageant

"Beauty pageants have been trying to make the news by using strategies I think are a bit absurd. Miss Italy, on the other hand, will not not jump on the glittery bandwagon of trans activism," said the pageant sponsor.

The Miss Italy competition has decided to ban trans people from participating in the pageant after a contestant who was born a man won the Miss Netherlands 2023 pageant, sparking controversy.

The organization that runs the beauty contest that crowns, in this case, the most beautiful woman in Italy, has defended its decision that only those "who were born women" can compete and respect the rules on which the Miss Italy competition was founded. This was stated in an interview by the sponsor of the contest, Patrizia Mirigliani, as reported by the Italian online media outlet Il Primato Nazionale:

Lately, beauty pageants have been trying to make the news by using strategies I think are a bit absurd. The reference to the various hypocrisies throughout the world of show business is obvious. Miss Italy, on the other hand, will not not jump on the glittery bandwagon of trans activism. Since it was born, my competition has foreseen in its regulation the clarification according to which one must be a woman from birth. Probably because, even then, it was foreseen that beauty could undergo modifications, or that women could undergo modifications, or that men could become women.

Miss Italy opposes the woke doctrine that is trying to impose the inclusion of trans people in all areas, without taking into consideration determining factors that cause inequality.
