I also hope to continue to grow my career in the modeling and social media industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The teen also publicized an initiative called, \u201c#QueensAreEverywhere,\u201d which is \u201ca media movement that helps the next generation develop self-confidence, realize their potential, and become the leaders of their destiny.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nguyen further described the movement, saying it focuses on community members who \u201chave faced adversity and teach how they overcame it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The contestant concluded, \u201cI am ecstatic to be the FIRST transgender woman to be a Miss America local titleholder, and I hope to make everyone proud and become the first to walk the Miss America stage. I am Br\u00edan Nguyen, your Miss Greater Derry 2023, and I am so excited for my year of service, to compete for Miss New Hampshire in April, and to make you all proud.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nguyen took home the title just after a federal appellate court <a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov\/datastore\/opinions\/2022\/11\/02\/21-35228.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ruled<\/a> that Miss United States of America LLC cannot be forced to include transgender-identifying men as contestants since it would obstruct the organization\u2019s ability to express the \u201cideal vision of American womanhood.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the ruling, the organization is allowed to enforce their \u201cnatural born female rule\u201d because that rule is protected by the First Amendment.<\/p>\n<p>The decision was made in response to a lawsuit filed by Anita Green, a trans-identifying male.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe United States of America Miss is on the wrong side of history for choosing to actively discriminate against transgender people, but the road to creating meaningful change has always been a long and bumpy one,\u201d Green said. \u201cTransgender women are women. My message has always been consistent and my message is this: every person has beauty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite not being forced to include trans-identifying men, the Miss America organization can voluntarily include them, which is what happened with Miss Greater Derry 2023.<\/p>\n<p>This is not the first time transgender-identifying individuals have entered the beauty pageant world.
