In a groundbreaking event held in Villupuram, Shamsu from North Chennai emerged as the champion of the 2024 Transgender Beauty Pageant. This momentous win marks a significant milestone in the ongoing struggle for recognition and empowerment within the transgender community.

Securing the prestigious title, Shamsu expressed gratitude to their mother (Guardian)and makeup artist for their unwavering support throughout the journey. Reflecting on their humble beginnings, Shamsu emphasized the transformative power of small efforts, having once operated a patty shop during the challenging period of the pandemic.

Now entrenched in the modeling industry, Shamsu advocates for greater employment opportunities for transgender individuals, aiming to eradicate the stigma that often forces them into marginalized roles such as begging or sex work. Highlighting the importance of representation, Shamsu urged society to view transgender individuals as ordinary people, deserving of equal respect and dignity.

The event not only celebrates beauty and talent but also serves as a platform for advocating for the rights and well-being of transgender individuals, marking a significant step towards greater equality and acceptance.

Beauty pageant was held as part of India's World's Biggest Annual Transgender Festival, which took place today.
