Sruthy Sithara is a Kerala native trans woman who has won the Miss Trans Global Universe pageant and is the first Indian to achieve this feat.
It was on December 1 when she received this award through an online event. This pageant was made so as to inspire the transgender community.
“Since the competition had been going for long, the participants have been keeping in contact through social media groups. We couldn’t meet physically as the pageant was held online. It would have been much more exciting to meet everyone in London, where the pageant was supposed to be conducted. But that didn’t affect the camaraderie or the pressure. I think online was much tougher to pull off,” she shared.
