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.

    A 24 inch waist? I’ll never live up to 1967’s beauty standards!
