The world’s largest transgender women’s beauty pageant, ‘Miss International Queen’, has been re-hosted after being suspended for the past two years due to COVID-19. The crown of victory went to the Filipino contestant.
According to Reuters news on the 25th (local time), Fushia and Ravenna of the Philippines took first place at ‘Miss International Queen 2022’ held in Pattaya, Thailand.
