With the 22-year-old Rikkie Kolle from Amsterdam, a trans woman has won the title “Miss Nederland” for the first time in the Netherlands.
The young trans woman previously managed to convince the jury with her “strong story” and her “clear mission”. Incidentally, Kolle is no stranger to the Netherlands. In 2018 she made it to the final of the TV competition Holland’s Next Top Model.
“I know better than anyone what it’s like to feel alone and not just be surrounded by positive thoughts. When I was little Rik and came out as transgender, it wasn’t easy for everyone and I’ve experienced that too “, said the winner in her introduction to the competition.
“I like to stand up for all the little Rikkies”
“Now, years later, I am stronger than ever and I want to pass that on to everyone who needs it. Because as long as you always remain who you are, there is no one who can stand above you,” said the 22- birthday. She added, “I love helping all the little Rikkies who have been rejected by their families grow into the person they want to be.”
