Jakrajutatip is a transgender activist and a businessman who vowed to \u201ccontinue the pageant\u2019s legacy of women empowerment and evolve the brand for the next generation.\u201d Who knew that \u201cwomen empowerment\u201d meant letting men occupy women\u2019s places and beat women in female competitions, whether beauty or athletic ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJournalists who indulge this fantasy should be ashamed. Every use of \u2018she\u2019 or \u2018her\u2019 erases women, one word at a time. Absurd misogyny,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MartinDaubney\/status\/1678313738825261056\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tweeted Martin Daubney<\/a>, British journalist and former MEP.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The silence of feminists and leftist ideologues is deafening as yet another male encroaches on another women-only field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for this year\u2019s winner, the 22-year- old Kolle said that becoming a woman was \u2018not easy for everyone\u2019 and that he has suffered greatly from it. The boy Rik believed he was \u201ctrapped in the wrong body\u201d. According to his Instagram posts, he changed his name to Rikkie at 11 and started taking puberty blockers at 12, followed by female hormones at 16. In January 2023 he underwent the sex change surgery, \u201csomething that would make me 100% woman\u201d, he wrote. After being crowned the most beautiful women in Netherlands, he said: \u201cVictory! Because as a little boy I conquered all things that came through my path and\u00a0look at me now. Standing here, as a strong, empowering and confident trans woman. Love is love. Be who you want to be and never forget always celebrate your pride.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"474\" height=\"522\" src=\"https:\/\/ifamnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/miss-netherlands-before-surgery.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-204552\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Kolle on female hormones, before genital mutilation surgery.

Newspaper headlines keep saying that this is \u201cthe first transgender woman to win the contest.\u201d But if \u201ctranswomen are women\u201d, then who has won the previous 94 contests?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I must say I\u2019m neither a fan of beauty contests nor do I support them, as I believe women should not be valued by their outward appearance. Not to mention beauty contests for little girls which we can safely call abhorrent. That being said, it is nonetheless unacceptable to have biological men <a href=\"https:\/\/ifamnews.com\/en\/trans-athletes-who-wants-to-silence-women-s-protest\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">take women\u2019s places<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ifamnews.com\/en\/penn-female-swimmers-tired-of-seeing-the-junk-of-biological-male-swimming-on-their-team\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">invade women\u2019s spaces<\/a> and even claim the less attractive aspects of being a woman \u2013 such as <a href=\"https:\/\/ifamnews.com\/en\/the-many-faces-of-misogyny-man-claims-to-have-period-cramps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">menstrual cramps<\/a>.
