'I believe I'm beautiful, and I want to set an example for all women — cisgender and transgender — that beauty doesn't have to fit into specific molds'
What's the background?
The 29-year-old's first pageant was the 2017 Miss Montana USA contest, and Green was only the third openly transgender contestant in the history of the Miss Universe program, Willamette Week noted.In January, Green signed up to compete in a Miss Oregon beauty pageant, the outlet said, but United States of America's Miss Oregon pageant organizers rejected Green's application and returned the $195 entry fee on the grounds that the competition is a "natural" pageant.
With that, Green sued the organization in federal court, asking a judge to force the pageant to allow the transgender woman to compete and to pay unspecified monetary damages, Willamette Week added.
