The Miss International Queen pageant calls itself “the world’s largest transgender women beauty pageant.”
This year’s contest featured 23 women from 23 different places competing for the crown.
My favorite part of this particular pageant was the national costume competition, where each contestant dressed in a costume that represented their country.

“Because my country has been suppressed by China for a long time. We cannot join WHO, the UN, or even show our national flag on international occasions. So, my team and I thought, if we can’t show our national flag, why don’t we put it on my body?”
