Trans Owner Of Miss Universe Gives Speech About Ensuring The Pageant Is "Ran By Women, For All Women"
The iconic Miss Universe pageant took place on Saturday evening, featuring some of the most beautiful women from all over the world. The new owner came on stage to give a speech about the future of the organization being in the hands of women and women alone—but he's a biological male.
A total of 84 contestants gathered in New Orleans to compete for the coveted title of Miss Universe 2023. Harnaaz Sandhu of India took home the crown last year. The women compete in three events: swimsuit, evening gown, and a personality interview. There is no talent competition. After the swimsuit portion concluded during the semifinals, the owner of the Miss Universe pageant came to the stage to give a speech about the future of the organization and how it needs to be in the hands of women. However, he's a male who identifies as a trans woman.
