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.
