A Danish beauty queen has won the title of Miss Universe, and many are already making fun of the fact that the winner is a biological woman.
After a spectacular performance in the 73rd Miss Universe final in Mexico City, 21-year-old Victoria Kjaer Theilvig took over the title on Saturday night.
After the 2023 tournament included married, plus-sized, and transgender competitors, she outperformed more than 120 other competitors to achieve this.
Even though the pageant was recently purchased by a Thai media tycoon who is an outspoken advocate for transgender rights, this year’s was more conventional.
The first trans woman, Marina Machete of Portugal, placed in the top 20 last year after the competition was criticized for what many saw as an antiquated definition of beauty.
