Rikkie Valerie Kollé recently created history by becoming the first transgender model to be the winner of Miss Netherlands 2023 on July 8, 2023. The beauty pageant winner is from Breda and aspires to become a voice and role model for the queer community.
However, Rikkie Valerie Kollé was also a subject of criticism on social media, where she was called a male by some social media users. A few others were not satisfied with the fact that transitioned biological males were taking the place of women in beauty pageants.
