In 1967, a 22-year-old trans woman won a rural Wyoming beauty pageant. She entered the contest just a year after transitioning. Unfortunately, the judges disqualified her when she came out to a competitor. I guess trans women have an unfair advantage in beauty pageants?
As a side note, I’d like to commend Bulletin for doing a better job than the New York Times or BBC and using her preferred pronouns.


It’s kind of interesting how she describes herself as “(not) queer or anything.”. Really amazing how language shifts.
