On Sunday, the women of The Netherlands had something intended solely for them stolen by Rikkie Valerie Kolle, a biological male who has recently completed “gender reassignment” surgery. The pageant that crowned Kolle participates in the Miss Universe, an organization once owned by former President Donald Trump.
The organization has since been purchased by Anne Jakkapong Jakrajutatip, a transgender reality star and business person from Thailand.
Kolle is the second biological male to compete in Miss Universe. Angela Ponce, also a biological male, was crowned Miss Spain in 2018. In addition, Daniela Arroyo González, another biological male and a transgender activist, is scheduled to compete in the organization’s Miss Puerto Rico event in August.
Miss Universe is scheduled to take place in December in El Salvador.
When asked to describe his journey prior to the finals of the event, Kolle said, “Victory.”
“Because as a little boy I conquered all things that came through my path and look at me now,” Kolle added.
Kolle added an LGBT affirming message: “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.”
Judges said what impressed them about Kolle was his “iron strong story” and “clear mission.”
At least a portion of that “clear mission” would appear to become a role model for similarly gender-confused people.
“When I was little Rik and came out as transgender, it wasn’t easy for everyone and I also suffered from it,” Kolle said.
“I am only too happy to commit myself to all little Rikkies who face rejection from their family, their transition to the person they desire to be. Help make their self-image and acceptance stronger, untouchable,” the new “Miss” Netherlands added. “Through my commitment and strength, I hope to bring about change in society.”
Some claim that the main reason Kolle took the crown was not due to his beauty or talent, but simply because he is transgender.
Writer Gina Bontempo blamed women for putting up with the spectacle.
“The only reason a man won Miss Netherlands is because the girls were stupid enough to play along with this charade and hand him the crown. Women are their own worst enemy,” Bontempo tweeted.
Other women agreed. Author Christina Dalcher tweeted, “Keep it up, fellas. The more women’s prizes you win and the more women’s spaces you invade, the more the general public will see you for what you are: Men in women’s clothing.”
Fox News’ Judge Jeanine Pirro saw even more nefarious reasons for the transgender victory.
“Im tired of this. Aren’t there enough beautiful women already out there, or is this part of a larger movement to oppress, suppress and ERASE biological women?”
Transgender activists are always quick to tell us that “trans women are women,” and anyone who disagrees is a bigot and a “transphobe.” But that’s really not true. Trans women have biological advantages over actual women in sports competition. For example, middling male collegiate swimmer Will Thomas changed his name to Lia and became an NCAA champion.
Now, even in the world of beauty pageants, a fella with a sad story about being born in the wrong body can be proclaimed Miss Netherlands over women who are, obviously, more deserving, simply because he is transgender.
