The Miss Holland jury says Cooley cheered up during the entire show. According to them, you have made the most progress out of all the mistakes. Miss Nederland’s participants completed a training program in which they went to Curaçao, among other places. “She has a strong story and a clear mission,” said the jury during the final. “The jury is satisfied that the organization (of Miss Nederland, ed.) would enjoy working with this young woman.”
“Through my participation in Miss Netherlands 2023, I want to be a role model for all young women and gay men,” Coley said on the beauty pageant’s website. “I know better than anyone what loneliness is like. When I was little Rick and came out as transgender, it wasn’t easy for everyone. I suffered from it too.”
Today, the new Miss Holland is stronger than ever. “As long as you stay the way you are, there is no one who can stand above you. I am more than happy to commit myself to all the little Rickies who face rejection from their families as they transition to the person they desire.”
Rikki Cooley will hold the title of Miss Holland for a year. She will also represent her country in the Miss Universe contest in El Salvador. Here is the second co-transformer.
Cole is not an unknown face. The Dutch already participated in the TV show “Holland’s Next Top Model” in 2018. She eventually reached the final. She was the second trans woman to join the program. In 2015, Loiza Lamers won the program. Also in our country, a trans woman, 25-year-old Lenny Blockmans, is vying for the Miss Belgium crown.
