Miss Netherlands: Transgender model 'broke boundaries' with beauty pageant win

@[email protected] to worldnewsEnglish • 11 months ago

Rikkie Valerie Kolle has made history as the first transgender woman to win Miss Netherlands.

Rikkie Valerie Kolle has made history as the first transgender woman to win Miss Netherlands. It’s the first time in the Dutch pageant’s 94-year history that a trans woman has been crowned winner. It means the 22-year-old will be the second openly trans competitor to take part in Miss Universe in December this year.

The only thing I hope is that she won’t win Miss Universe for the sole reason that she was courageous enough to participate as a transgender woman.

Might as well distribute “Participation Trophy” to everyone then.
