Here's everything you need to know about the pageant as posted on their website:
The "Miss T World" was created to elect the young representative of the transsexual collective who has a physical and resourceful beauty to represent the contest in any and every event that is necessary, inside and outside Italy.
We believe that the realization of the "Miss T World" will give visibility to the transsexual collective.
