Elia Bonci, who also spoke to la Repubblica, said: “I took courage, used my deadname and signed up for Miss Italy because fighting transphobia is intersectional and even though I’m not a trans woman, I’ve decided to fight for their rights.”

much respect to all that followed!

I'm confused. If they are using a dead name how are they not trans?

Think the others were missing the point - they are trans men. Their dead name is their dead female name.

The ruling was to prevent trans women from competing, so while they can't stand for trans women, they'll stand for all trans.
