Trans activist Federico Barbarossa entered the Miss Italy pageant after its organizer said trans women weren’t allowed. His protest went viral and more than 100 trans men signed up, he said.
As far as I can tell after some googling the protest was unsuccessful, and trans women remain banned from competing in Italy. I didn’t see any trans men in the contestant lists, so presumably the organizers denied all their applications. Miss universe did have two trans contestants though, one from the Netherlands and one from Spain I think.
