A leaked video has sparked controversy within the Miss Universe organization, revealing the executive's opinions on the inclusion of transgender and non-traditional women in the pageant. Anne Jakrajutatip, co-owner of Miss Universe, expresses her belief that trans women and women with husbands cannot win the competition and that social inclusion is a communication strategy.
A leaked video has ignited a firestorm within the Miss Universe organization, casting doubt on the inclusivity and transparency of the pageant. The video, obtained by Rodrigo Goytortua Ortega, former CEO of Miss Universe, reveals the executive's opinions on the inclusion of transgender and non-traditional women in the competition.
In the leaked conversation, Anne Jakrajutatip, co-owner of Miss Universe, expresses her belief that transgender women, women with husbands, and divorced women cannot win the competition. She argues that social inclusion is merely a communication strategy and that these women are allowed to compete but cannot ultimately triumph.
"The trans women, the women with husbands, divorced women... This is a communication strategy, because, you understand... they can compete, but they cannot win. We just put the policy out there. Social inclusion, as people would say," Jakrajutatip says in the video.
Jakrajutatip, who is transgender herself, continues by stating that "women from nontraditional backgrounds" cannot win Miss Universe.
The leaked video has sparked outrage among pageant contestants and advocates for inclusion. Many have expressed their disappointment and concern over the executive's views, questioning the organization's commitment to diversity and fairness.
In response to the controversy, Miss Universe has issued a statement denying the allegations and claiming that the video was edited out of context. The organization has also reaffirmed its commitment to promoting inclusion, transparency, and integrity.
However, the leaked video has raised questions about the organization's leadership and its commitment to creating a level playing field for all contestants. The video has also cast a shadow over the recent changes made by Miss Universe to allow transgender and married women to compete.
Prior to 2018, the Miss Universe pageant excluded transgender contestants. In 2023, married women and mothers were also allowed to compete for the first time. The age limit was also lifted, allowing for older women to participate in the competition.
These changes were hailed as a step towards greater inclusivity and diversity in the pageant world. However, the leaked video suggests that the organization's commitment to inclusivity may not be as genuine as it appears.
The controversy surrounding the leaked video has put the Miss Universe organization under scrutiny and raised questions about its future direction. The organization will need to address the concerns of contestants and advocates if it wants to maintain its reputation and credibility.
The leaked video has also sparked a wider debate about the role of transgender and non-traditional women in society. It has highlighted the ongoing challenges faced by marginalized communities and the need for continued efforts towards inclusivity and acceptance.
