== History == The pageant was founded by Miss Sahhara, a transgender activist, and beauty queen who was behind '''Queen of Nations''', another pageant for transgender women which has been held in the United Kingdom for the past 13 years.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Roberts|first=Monica|date=2007-08-19|title=TransGriot: Queen of Nations Pageant|url=https://transgriot.blogspot.com/2007/08/queen-of-nations-pageant.html|access-date=2021-10-04|website=TransGriot}}</ref> According to Sahhara, she and her team thought of holding the 10th edition of Queen of Nations in 2017 online. Instead, they decided to launch a new title which is mainly geared towards transgender advocacy, education, and trans-empowerment through multiple digital platforms. They aimed to create an inclusive and accessible space for all transgender women from diverse backgrounds to express themselves on an international stage without leaving their homes or country.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|last=Manipon|first=Roel Hoang|title=First Miss Trans Global is Pinay|website=Daily Tribune|url=https://tribune.net.ph/index.php/2020/09/28/first-miss-trans-global-is-pinay/|access-date=2021-10-05|language=en-US|archive-date=October 5, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211005071456/https://tribune.net.ph/index.php/2020/09/28/first-miss-trans-global-is-pinay/|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite web|last=Roberts|first=Monica|date=2020-07-10|title=TransGriot: Miss Trans Global International Digital Pageant Is Live!|url=https://transgriot.blogspot.com/2020/07/miss-trans-global-international-digital.html|access-date=2021-10-05|website=TransGriot}}</ref>

According to Miss Sahhara, Miss Trans Global was conceived in 2017 and realized during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, with the aim of engaging transgender communities through an online international pageant.

The organizing team includes Sally Adams, a media and entertainment lawyer, Rica Paras, an information technology professional, and Imanni Da Silva, a model, artist, television presenter, and social activist.

=== The exclusion of trans women contestants from female pageantry ===

In 2019, transgender pageant winner Anita Green<ref>{{Cite journal|last=L.

The court filing submitted by Miss United States constantly misgendered Green and used derogatory words to invalidate the complainant's gender identity.<ref>{{Cite web|last=López|first=Canela|title=Miss United States of America has won the right to ban trans women from the competition|url=https://www.insider.com/miss-usa-wins-right-to-ban-trans-women-from-competition-2021-3|access-date=2021-10-05|website=Insider|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Holmes|first=Juwan J.|title=Court allows Miss United States of America pageant to exclude transgender women|url=https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2021/02/court-allows-trumps-old-miss-usa-pageant-exclude-transgender-woman/|access-date=2021-10-05|website=LGBTQ Nation|date=February 26, 2021 }}</ref> Miss United States also says that allowing transgender women to compete in their competition would "undermine its vision" and would undermine their "message of biological female empowerment."<ref name=":2" /> John T. Kaempf, the Miss United States pageant's lawyer praised the dismissal of Green's lawsuit, stating that the pageant "is not anti-transgender." "Miss United States wants to be able to hold a pageant that is only for biological females,". He stated that the organization "believes there can be a Miss Black USA pageant, a Miss Native American pageant, or a transgender pageant."<ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-02-26|title=Judge rules Miss United States of America can ban trans women – on the same day the Equality Act passed|url=https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2021/02/26/miss-united-states-america-trans-judge-ban-banned-miss-montana-anita-noelle-green/|access-date=2021-10-05|website=PinkNews |language=en-GB}}</ref>

In an interview with KGW, Green said, "I compete in pageantry to show that there are many different types of beauty... To me, that rule was saying that transgender women aren't women, and that sends a very harmful message."<ref>{{Cite web |date=January 2, 2020 |title='A very harmful message': Banned for being transgender, Portland woman sues pageant |url=https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/transgender-banned-pageant-lawsuit/283-eb3786e8-5340-4c8d-aa3d-9455a80d0711 |access-date=2021-10-05 |website=kgw.com |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=An Oregon Woman Is Suing a Beauty Pageant that Excludes Transgender Contestants |url=https://www.wweek.com/news/2019/12/18/an-oregon-woman-is-suing-a-beauty-pageant-that-excludes-transgender-contestants/ |access-date=2021-10-05 |website=Willamette Week |date=December 18, 2019 |language=en}}</ref>

Unperturbed by the news of the dismissal of her case, Green said “she is not giving up on her fight for justice for transgender women, and she is very proud of her achievement in raising awareness about the discrimination transgender women face in pageantry”. "This case brought awareness to an issue many people were and still are unaware of," Green told Oregon Live, "and that issue is that discrimination against transgender people is still actively happening in the private and public sector even within the pageant circuit."<ref>{{Cite web|last=Bernstein|first=Maxine|date=2021-02-26|title=Judge dismisses transgender woman's suit against Miss United States of America pageant|url=https://www.oregonlive.com/portland/2021/02/judge-dismisses-transgender-womans-suit-against-miss-united-states-of-america-pageant.html|access-date=2021-10-05|website=oregonlive|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Judge rules Miss USA can ban trans women from its pageant.

=== The exclusion of transgender women from female only spaces ===

Some transgender activists have affirmed that the exclusion of transgender women from female-only spaces such as sports, pageants, and bathrooms has necessitated the creation of dedicated spaces for transgender people.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2018-02-09|title=Debate over inclusion of trans women in women-only spaces intensifies|url=http://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/feb/09/debate-over-inclusion-of-trans-women-in-women-only-spaces-intensifies|access-date=2021-10-05|website=The Guardian|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-09-22|title=Keir Starmer backs 'women-only spaces' in 'specific circumstances', amid Labour row|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/keir-starmer-trans-women-labour-b1924832.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220515/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/keir-starmer-trans-women-labour-b1924832.html |archive-date=May 15, 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|access-date=2021-10-05|website=The Independent|language=en}}</ref> Others argue that it may foster segregation.

Sociologist and feminist campaigner Finn Mackay stated in an interview with ''The Guardian'', that reducing womanhood to fertility and genitals trivialises the damage done by patriarchy influenced by politics when it comes to sexuality and gender. "They do it for ideological reasons, as part of a campaign for trans exclusion. When people turn round and say: 'This is a dog whistle' – of course it is! Otherwise, why would you be chatting about people's genitals?" Mackay asked.<ref name=":5">{{Cite web |date=2021-10-05 |title=Finn Mackay: the writer hoping to help end the gender wars |url=https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2021/oct/05/finn-mackay-the-writer-hoping-to-help-end-the-gender-wars |access-date=2021-10-05 |website=The Guardian |language=en}}</ref>

=== Recent success ===

Miss USA, a franchise of Miss Universe, started allowing transgender women in their pageant in 2012.
