(LifeSiteNews) — A gender-confused man has won the “Miss Netherlands” beauty pageant.
On Sunday, July 9, a man who presents himself as a woman and goes by the name “Rikkie Valerie” Kolle was crowned the new Miss Netherlands as the first “transgender woman” and is now set to compete in the Miss Universe 2023 contest.
Kolle will be the second man competing in the Miss Universe pageant after a Spanish man called “Angela” Ponce participated in the female contest in 2018.
“It’s unreal but I get to call myself @missnederland 2023,” Kolle wrote on Instagram after winning the competition. “It was an educational and wonderful journey, my year can’t go wrong. I am so proud and happy I can’t describe it. I made my community proud and showed that it can be done.”
“And yes I am a trans woman and I want to share my story, but I am also Rikkie and that is what matters to me. I did this in my own strength and enjoyed every moment.”
