Transgender beauty pageant winner stripped of title after she is seen wearing boxers (Photos)

Jai Dara Latto was showered in adoration and applause when she was crowned Miss Transgender UK in London last September. But the title was short lived after an organiser accused Latto of being a ‘drag queen’.

Director Rachael Bailey said Latto was ‘not transgender enough’ after she was sent a picture of the 22-year-old wearing boxers.
Latto, from Peeblesshire, Scotland, was subsequently stripped of her title after six months because she was not living as a full-time woman.







Now she has been forced to hand over her crown to the competition’s runner-up, Daisy Bell, 23.
The pictures, which also showed Latto working out at the gym in a T-shirt and shorts, were taken as part of a BBC documentary, Miss Transgender.

In response to the claims, Latto said ‘being transgender is not some exclusive club’.
Although Latto has insisted she is a woman, Rachel said the documentary showed her living as a gay male.

The main prize sparked controversy at the time because it awarded £10,000 worth of surgery in India.
But Latto has now returned the prize and instead will be having the reassignment treatment in Scotland.
