Mr.Nawat caused a big controversy before MGI 2023 in Vietnam, said one thing straight about transgender people

At the press conference before the final of Miss Grand Philippines, there were the presence of Mr. Nawat Itsaragrisil, Mrs. Teresa - Vice President of Miss World Peace and the reigning Miss World Peace 2022 - Isabella Menin.

At the press conference, Mr. Nawat expressed that transgender people do not have the opportunity to participate in the contest he founded. "Absolutely not. No surgery can change a person's DNA. Transgender women are still men, and transgendered men are still women," he shared.

Mr. Nawat further explained that transgender people have had their own beauty contests, so it is inappropriate for them to participate in the Miss World Peace playground or traditional beauty contests for women.

Currently, Mr. Nawat's shares have received mixed reactions from the online community. Some commented that he was too strict with the transgender community while others supported his explanation.

This is not the first time, the opinion that "transgender people are not allowed to participate in beauty contests for women" has been controversial. The Miss Universe Organization used to be in the media spotlight when it announced the acceptance of transgender people in 2012.

This information is controversial because many people fear that the quality of the contest may go down because there are too many transgender women participating. Meanwhile, people from the LGBT community (transgender, bisexual, gay) support the bold change of the Miss Universe organization.

In 2018, the first transgender contestant walked on the Miss Universe stage. That is Miss Universe Spain - Angela Ponce. She became the first transgender beauty to participate in the Miss Universe pageant. Despite only stopping in the top 20 finalists, Angela Ponce is one of the most outstanding contestants on the Miss Universe 2018 stage.

Sharing after the Miss Universe 2012 pageant, transgender beauty Angela Ponce said: "Outsides can comment on what I can and can't do, comment on who I am. But, sorry, is this. Women are who I really am."

In 2022, the National Director of Mexicana Universal - Ms. Lupita Jones - also caused controversy when she announced that she would not accept transgender people to participate in the Mexicana Universal contest (Miss Mexico Universe). "We have explained this many times and will not change our position," Ms. Jones stressed.

Ms. Lupita Jones said transgender people should have their own competitions. She wanted Mexicana Universal to be a game for real women.

She explained: "Despite having sex reassignment surgery, changing some parts like women, they are still transgender. In life, everyone has their own space and place. Of course, people Transgenders shouldn't be discriminated against. They deserve to be recognized. But Mexicana Universal is not their playground."

The share of the country director of Mexicana Universal immediately became the focus of discussion on social networks. Especially when the organizer of Miss Universe is a Thai transgender billionaire - Anne Jakapong Jakrajutatip.

It is known that this year, Miss Universe 2023 continues to have the participation of transgender contestants, which is the Dutch beauty - Rikkie Valerie Kollé.

Not long ago, the noise between Thuy Tien and Mr. Nawat Itsaragrisil - President of Miss Grand International - made beauty fans stir. After being unfollowed by Mr. Nawat, Thuy Tien also livestreamed to admit being shallow and hasty when removing the title of Miss International Peace 2021 on her personal page. The beauty apologized to the fans and the Miss Grand International organization.

After the livestream explaining and publicly apologizing to Thuy Tien, Mr. Nawat's move was especially noticed by the people. The President of Miss Grand International almost never mentioned Vietnamese beauty. Instead, Mr. Nawat constantly showed a series of photos with other queens, and checked in on the plane to go to Switzerland for work. The move of the President of Miss Grand International made netizens think that he was still angry at Thuy Tien's actions.

Contrary to Mr. Nawat's reaction, Teresa re-posted Thuy Tien's image during the livestream. This is considered a move to support the post-Vietnamese woman when she spoke up to explain and apologize for her actions.

Earlier, Thuy Tien revealed during the livestream that she contacted and talked to Mrs. Teresa - Vice President of Miss Grand International and cried a lot. Vice President of Miss Grand advised "adopted daughter" not to remove the title because Miss International Peace is about to take place in Vietnam.

"I'm not ungrateful, but I'm a heartless person. It's hard to be perfect. Yesterday, when I talked to Mrs. Teresa, I cried a lot, I cried not because of the story of Mr. Nawat's abuse. unfollowing or because people cursed me, I cried because I was helpless about my personality, I wondered why I grew up like that ...", Thuy Tien shared in the livestream.
