more than 100 trans men have entered the Miss Italy beauty pageant after organisers state 'only those born female' may enter

In order to prevent trans women from competing in Miss Italy, it was declared that only those born female could enter... the intention, according to the pageant's organisers, was to prevent the spectacle being used as a platform for anything other than it intended.

So this spurred a trans man to enter under his deadname and encourage others to do so, too, in support of trans women's rights. It went viral

Trans activist Federico Barbarossa, who lives in Bari, a town in southern Italy, said that he became angry when he saw Mirigliani’s comments but that he was “also kind of amused by it, because I was like, ‘Yeah, well, I was assigned female at birth, but they would reject me because I look like a boy, and they would consider me as a boy,’” he said in an interview with NBC News.
Barbarossa decided to enter the pageant under his deadname, or the name he was given at birth, as a form of protest in solidarity with trans women. Barbarossa shared a screenshot of an email he received confirming his registration on Instagram, and then the local LGBTQ nonprofit group he works with, Mixed LGBTQIA+, shared his entry on Facebook with a statement encouraging other trans men to do the same.

The organisers should have a word with Trump. He encouraged Trans women to enter his pageants (even if it were only so he could spy on them undressed).

I had an Italian girlfiend one time... she was female. I am glad there was no other option back then.

We already knew you'd like a room full of trannies.

Yes, you're a dipshit. Thanks for confirming.

No confirmation needed from you, it's always been glaringly obvious.
