"A transgender woman who was inspired by Princess Diana has launched the first Miss Transgender UK pageant to help other transitioning women feel like royalty.

Rachael Bailey, 34, from Cardiff, has used her life savings to establish the competition, which aims to empower the transgender community.

The events manager was inspired to set up the contest after a lifetime of struggling with her own identity and says she wants to give other transgender women the confidence to embrace who they really are."

Whilst I'm not into the idea of beauty pageants, I hope it works out well. I do wish the media would stop using phrases like "a woman who was born a man"...
