Rikkie Valerie Kollé made history Saturday when she was named Miss Netherlands 2023 as the first transgender woman to be crowned in Dutch history.

"I want to be a voice and role model for all young women and queer people," Kollé said in a statement shared with USA TODAY. "I know better than anyone else what it's like to feel alone and not be surrounded by only positive thoughts."

Kollé, 22, said that when she was younger and came out as transgender, it wasn't easy. "I struggled and it was a very rough time. Today, I am stronger than ever before."

She added that she aims to bring change as the new Miss Netherlands with hopes that younger generations will have a better experience.

"It's never too late and help is always there. That has always been my guiding principle and I want help and spread it with my own story and experience," she said.

Dylan Mulvaney revealed she traveled from the US to Peru in a series of TikTok videos.

Mulvaney said she had to "leave my country to feel safe."

Mulvaney faced backlash in April after Bud Light partnered with her for a promotion.

Dylan Mulvaney is vacationing in Peru to "feel safe" after facing anti-trans backlash over her Bud Light partnership.

On Monday, the transgender influencer updated her 10.7 million TikTok followers about her travels in Peru. Mulvaney said in the video that she flew to the South American country to "feel something."

"I've done shaman ceremonies that were like 10 years worth of therapy," Mulvaney said. "It was wild. I've seen a lot of llamas, and the people here are so kind. I feel very safe here."

“Peru on Monday declared a 90-day national health emergency after a massive spike in cases of a rare neurological disorder – the Guillain-Barre syndrome. According to reports, the country has seen an unusual increase of 165 cases, while four people have died due to the disorder. Peru had also issued an alert on June 27 regarding the increasing cases,” according to the Hindustan Times.

“The Guillain-Barre syndrome is a rare neurological disorder in which the body’s immune system attacks the nerves. It starts with a tingling sensation and weakness in the hands and feet, and can quickly spread further – ending up paralyzing the body. Most people with this condition need to be hospitalised for the treatment,” the paper reported.

In fairness to Mulvaney, she does have a number of domestic enemies, including evidently Dog the Bounty Hunter."

CNN issued a formal apology this week after the network referred to transgender TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney as a “man,” saying the network accidentally used “the wrong pronouns.”

“She was mistakenly referred to by the wrong pronoun. CNN aims to honor individuals’ ways of identifying themselves. We apologize for that error,” explained the anchor.
