The person in the article is the opposite, assigned female at birth and transitioned to male. AKA a trans man. This person is considered a woman by the beauty contest despite identifying as male. He entered the beauty contest as a form of protest and to bring attention to the blatant transphobia. permalink fedilink source parent
