says more than 100 trans men have entered the Miss Italy pageant in protest of its new policy requiring entrants to be"a woman from birth"
"I was kind of amused by it, because I was like, ‘Yeah, well, I was assigned female at birth, but they would reject me because I look like a boy, and they would consider me as a boy,’" trans activist Federico Barbarossa, an Italian resident and the first person to start the protest, told NBC News.
