"The current eligibility policy as to gender was formally updated in the second half of 2024 and was revised again in 2026 to ensure consistency, transparency, and respect for all individuals who meet the qualifications to compete."
"This update was developed with legal guidance and reflects our ongoing commitment to fairness and inclusion. Specifically, our participation policy affirms eligibility for Intersex females, which are those born with female chromosomes, but non-conforming genitalia."
"Both organisations should disallow men from competing in their pageants."
Miss America updated its eligibility policy to state that only 'naturally born females' can compete, excluding trans women. Intersex women must have corrective surgery on ambiguous genitalia. The policy was revised for clarity and fairness, according to a spokesperson. This change follows a letter from Florida's Attorney General, who criticized the organization for potentially misleading advertising by allowing trans women to compete while promoting the events as women-only. The Attorney General emphasized the need for stricter adherence to gender categories in the competitions.
