In 2012, the Miss Universe Organization made a groundbreaking announcement that it would allow transgender women to compete in its pageants. “Kasi, you’re representing this country. E, kung may mas magandang babae, o mas magandang tranny… mas mahirap kalaban ang tranny,” she added. “As LGBT, pageant alumnus and pageant fan, I see nothing wrong sa opinion ni Ms. Gloria Diaz. What’s wrong is how I think people make a big fuzz out of it and use words na she’s “against”,” Perez told CDN.

“Transwomen should be given chances to compete, as women should also be given the same to join trans pageants,” Oliva said.
