More than 100 transgender men have entered the Miss Italy pageant this week, according to an activist leading a protest against recent comments by the pageant’s organizer, who said trans women wouldn’t be allowed to compete.
The comments came after another European pageant, Miss Netherlands, crowned its first transgender winner, Rikkie Valerie Kollé, this month. About a week later, Patrizia Mirigliani, the official organizer of Miss Italy, told an Italian radio station that Miss Italy wouldn’t allow trans women to compete.
“Lately, beauty contests have been trying to make the news using strategies that I think are a bit absurd,” Mirigliani said, according to the Italian news outlet Il Primato Nazionale.
She added that Miss Italy has historically allowed only people who were assigned female at birth to enter, “probably because, even then, it was foreseen that beauty could undergo modifications, or that women could undergo modifications, or that men could become women,” according to Il Primato Nazionale.
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.

We have a mental illness sweeping the globe.
TMFINR!
Trans men... A physical and biological impossibility.
Is it because they’re leftists or just screwed up?
Can they otherwise live normal lives? They’re coming out of the woodwork.
No means no!
You have to read these articles twice to figure out who is who. Here’s my interpretation — lots of ugly chicks have decided to enter the Miss Italy contest.
Sorry man, I don’t speak fantasyland.
“We have a mental illness sweeping the globe.”
Actually, it only seems to affect the countries supporting the Neocon War in Ukraine. The rest of the world, 85%, wants none of this crap.
I’d have to see him in a swimsuit to opine…..
Being obnoxious is an easy way to gain notoriety I suppose.
just looks like an ugly girl with short hair, no makeup and wearing a mans suit.
I’m in favor of Nurse Ratchet’s return.
I never saw this coming. Imagine. We’re in a world that no one has known.
That's because it's an ugly girl with short hair, no makeup and wearing a man's suit.
Freaks are gonna freak. But I am kind of surprised because Italy is still very much a macho country.
Prior to WW2, we were isolationist. It's tragic that we could not stay isolated.
Really?
"Russia legalized homosexuality in 1993, literally 10 YEARS before the US did so in Lawrence v. Texas. And China is quickly becoming a haven for trannies LOFL!"Until 1993 consensual anal intercourse between adult males was punishable under Article 121.1 of the Russian Federation criminal code by imprisonment of up to five years. Lesbian relations were not criminalised.Under strong pressure from Western public opinion and in order to obtain a place in the Council Europe, Russian President Boris Yeltsin also followed this line [of revoking anti-homosexual legislation] and Article 121.1 was repealed as part of a wide-ranging reform law that he signed on April 29 1993."
And as for the Chin-lee... The CCP officially decriminalized homos in 1997 and removed them from their standard book of mental disorders in 2001 (again, before the US). The CCP approved civil marriages of homos via yiding jianhu ("guardianship appointment") in 2017. There are so many trannies and choppadik centers in Beijing and HK and Shanghai you can't swing a dead cat without hitting one. The PLA Military General Hospital in Beijing performs bottom and top surgery!""
Really?

Let me know when their next ‘Pride’ parade is, please.
What was that buzz word?
Mass Toxic Hysteria or some such. It is a real thing. Any psyop will tell you.
