"TEL AVIV, Israel — Love was in short supply for much of Caroline Khouri's life.
Her male relatives nearly killed her after discovering she had chosen to transition from being a man to a woman, the 24-year-old told NBC News.
"My cousins, my father, my brother-in-law all came and beat me and took me by force and cut my hair, tied me to the bed and left me there for three days with no food," she said. The police rescued Khouri, but she no longer has a relationship with her relatives in the Arab town of Tamra.
Now the nightclub belly dancer has a new family that accepts her — and a wealth of potential new admirers as one of the last 12 contestants in the "Miss Trans Israel 2016" beauty pageant."
