In late July, the Miss Italy pageant’s patron, Patrizia Mirigliani, stated that Miss Italy contestants must be “a woman from birth.”
In response to Mirigliani’s comments, an unexpected andhas emerged. Italian trans activist Federico Barbarossa decided to enter the Miss Italy pageant using his deadname. After sharing the confirmation of his registration in the pageant on social media, an LGBTQ+ nonprofit shared the post and encouraged other trans men to do the same.
While the Miss Italy pageant’s initial stance may have seemed to discourage inclusivity, it has ultimately helped raise awareness of the fact that, as Barbarossa put it to , blocking trans women from competing sends the message that “trans women are not women” and results in transphobia.
