    “This pageant was about more than being pretty, wearing a dress and walking in heels. It was about what cause you are standing on and fighting for the truth. Just because I was an athlete and I have a masculine build doesn't take away the feminine parts of me or take away the parts of me that actually cares about different causes.”
