New Transgender Owner of Miss Universe Celebrates an End to It Being Run by Men
Miss Universe is changing. Such was made clear in a recent declaration by the pageant’s new owner.
The show was held Saturday, and CEO Anne Jakkaphong Jakrajutatip told the audience it’s a transformative day.
At the 71st Miss Universe competition in New Orleans, Anne heralded female dominance.
The biological male touted the start of womanly stewardship — and an end to manly ownership:
“From now on, it’s going to be [run] by women, owned by a trans woman. … For all women, really, around the world to celebrate the power of feminism. Diverse cultures, social inclusion, (and) gender equality. Creativity. The force for good. And, of course, the beauty of humanity.”
