Kayleigh Bush, the winner of the Miss North Florida 2025 pageant, was stripped of her title after refusing to sign the Miss America Organization's contract, which she opposed due to its definition of "female" that includes transgender women. Bush alleged harassment, body shaming, and neglect by pageant officials, leading her to relinquish her crown. The Liberty Counsel has intervened, demanding that her title be reinstated and criticizing the contract's definition as false and misrepresentative of biological reality. Bush's case has drawn attention to controversies surrounding the inclusion of transgender participants in beauty pageants and the contractual requirements imposed on contestants.
