“Yes, I am trans and I want to share my story, but I am also Rikkie and that is what matters to me. I did this with my own strength and I enjoyed every moment,” she continued in Dutch, according to NPR. “And wherever you are in the world, I want to be there for you and be the example that I missed as a little me.” The Miss Netherlands pageant also celebrated Kollé’s victory with a special post on Instagram after her victory.

Kollé is described on her finalists page as being of Dutch and Moluccan indigenous descent, according to NPR. She is from the city of Breda and hopes to inspire both women and members of the LBGTQ community. Later this year, she will become the second openly trans woman to compete in the Miss Universe pageant.

In October 2022, the Miss Universe pageant was acquired by Anne Jakapong Jakrajutatip, a Thai businesswoman and transgender rights activist. In a January interview with Metro Weekly, Jakrajutatip, who is trans, said she doesn’t see pageants as beauty pageants, but rather as “a platform to raise women’s voices and give them the stage to advocate for good.”

“I wanted to have a global women’s empowerment platform,” Jakrajutatip told the outlet. “That’s why I thought, ‘Okay, I needed to have the platform on the global stage. What should be the right thing for me as a trans woman to do it?’” The Miss Universe 2023 competition will take place later this year in El Salvador.Read More……..
