Photos: Miss Philippines wins the world's largest transgender beauty pageant
Yes, this used to be a man! Trixie Maristela was crowned Miss International Queen 2015 on
Friday at a contest in Thailand billed as the world’s largest
transgender pageant. The 29-year-old beat 26 other competitors for the coveted crown, with
second and third place going to contestants from Brazil and Thailand
respectively.
Thailand remains a largely conservative society, with no laws recognising same-sex unions. But it has a prominent lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, with many members playing leading roles in its entertainment industry.
