Bailey Anne Kennedy First Trans Miss Maryland USA

By    |   Monday, 10 June 2024 09:44 PM EDT

Bailey Anne Kennedy is the first transgender woman to win the Miss Maryland USA pageant, The Blaze reported Monday.

According to The Blaze, a "transgender female" is a person who identifies as female but is biologically male.

Kennedy told "DC News Now" that the victory was a "whirlwind because I knew it was bigger than me. I knew that it was going to mean a lot for all the LGBTQ kids out there who might feel like they don't belong in a box — like me growing up."

The Daily Mail added that Kennedy "married her military husband less than a year ago" and is now eyeing the Miss USA competition slated for August in Los Angeles.
