Meet Taylor Cougle, current living in Melbourne Victoria. Taylor competed in her first pageant alongside 10 other finalists at the Miss Gay and Miss Trans Australia International, held last Saturday 1st February at the Williamstown Town Hall as part of the Midsumma Festival.
The Miss Gay and Miss Trans Australia International is made up of 5 categories and each category has points awarded for Relevance, Deportment, Personality, Impact, Catwalk and Confidence. The Categories are Pre-Pageant Interview, Themed Costume, Swimwear (Miss Trans), Talent (Miss Gay), Evening Gown and Question/Answer.
Taylor said “I entered the pageant primarily for personal self growth and discovery. The principles of the pageant to promote diversity and inclusion are very close to my heart and align very closely to my own personal principles and goals.”

Taylor took out three awards - Miss Congeniality, Miss Charity and Best in Interview, “I did not expect to win anything but was extremely pleased by the outcome as it showcased my strengths within the LGBTIQ community.”
“There were many aspects of the pageant experience which were fun such as the costume and evening gown categories but what was most fun was gaining new friends and now I have a new family of Trans sisters.”
“The swimwear category was the most challenging because I am still trying to overcome body dysphoria issues and I have never really been comfortable in showing my body. When I did have a challenging moment the other girls rallied around and supported me. This is the true meaning of the pageant.”

Prior to the pageant, Taylor did not have any prior modelling experience but is looking forward to her first modelling runway event at the upcoming This is Me event. Taylor said “the event gives woman of all types to show and celebrate womanhood in all its forms.”
Taylor said “many of the other candidates and organisers commented that I brought a genuineness and wealth of experience. They were impressed with all the things that I have achieved especially around conservation and education that related to this year’s pageant theme.”
Taylor left a final message to those considering to join the pageant. “It is never to too late to follow your dreams. This pageant really does feel like family and has a sense of comradery unlike any other pageant. It is less of a competition and more of a celebration and showcasing who you are no matter where you are in your transition as a Transgender person or experience as a Miss Gay.”
special thanks for the privilege to cover the pageant: Gayzha Davao, the manager and brand owner
