Italian beauty pageant Miss Italy has banned biological males from entering its competition. Patrizia Mirigliani, who oversees the nation’s beauty pageant, said “only women since birth” are welcome to compete while she is in charge of the event.
Mirigliani told Radio Cusano in a recent interview that there will be no trans at Miss Italy, the most popular beauty contest in the country, and that any beauty competitions that allow biological male competitors only do because they want to create media buzz.
“Lately, beauty contests have been trying to make the news by also using strategies that I think are a bit absurd,” Mirigliani said. “Miss Italia, on the other hand, will 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,” Mirigliani clarified. “Probably because, even then, it was foreseen that beauty could undergo modifications, or that women could undergo modifications, or that men could become women.”
Mirigliani also pointed out that over recent years, Miss Italy has softened the standards of its beauty pageant, allowing women with tattoos, piercings, and hair extensions to participate in the competition.

Forza Italia!
Awful that such a ban has become necessary but great that they did it.

This junk is making our language so convoluted. She has banned men from competing.
It's that simple.
Giorgia Meloni, the Italian Prime Minister. I wish we had someone like her heading the govt. instead of Corrupt Joe.
This wise decision will certainly generate threats from the EU, and maybe even from the United States. Hang tough, Ms. Mirigliani.
I remember a great looking Italian beauty from my youth. Unfortunately I learned years later that she died from a drug overdose.
Fake women banned.
What a concept
“only women AT birth” would be better stated.
Finally, some sanity.
A beauty pageant with only women? Now that’s crazy!
Great decision. Viva Italia.
The language would indicate the ban also applies to born women who have pretended to be men. Thus “women since birth”.
I always laugh at the concept, “assigned at birth.” Not assigned at birth, observed at birth is what is the factor.
I love Italy! Meloni is bringing traditional values back.
Viva Giorgia Meloni!!
“This junk is making our language so convoluted. She has banned men from competing.”
It’s on purpose. And sadly it’s getting more mainstream.
Not Guilty!
Better yet... “born with”
