“Fashion designer Shaine Soni was crowned as India’s new Miss Transqueen on Saturday. She is all set to represent India at the Miss International Queen, the world’s biggest beauty pageant for transgender women. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the organisers were unable to host the Miss Transqueen India pageant but Reena Rai, the chairwoman of the Indian beauty pageant, was determined to ensure India’s representation in the 2021 pageant. u00a0. Shaine Soni is already known in the fashion industry as she has previously helped train contestants and pick their outfits. This made her the obvious choice in the eyes of Reena Rai, who encouraged her to take up the title and represent India. The Miss Transqueen India follows all the traditional beauty pageant rounds like photoshoots, costume rounds, talent rounds and has judges and audience members. According to Rai, Shaine Soni has been the backbone of Transqueen India and it will be the best platform for her as she has been having problems with publicly coming out about her transgender identity. She also thinks that the beauty pageant is not just about beauty but also about empowerment and inclusion. #Transqueen #Transgender #BeautyPageant #ShaineSoni #LGBTQIAu00a0.”
