The newly crowned Miss Universe thinks transgender beauty queens shouldn't compete in Miss Universe pageants. Venezuela's Gabriela Isler sat down with HuffPost Live on Thursday to discuss her win, days after being crowned at the 2013 Miss Universe pageant in Russia.

"Do you think that transgender people should be able to compete in international pageants?" HuffPost Live host Ahmed Shihab-Eldin asked the 25-year old beauty queen.

"They should have their own pageant, I think, and maybe they can realize in this pageant, Miss Universe, or the other pageants [were] made for women," she said. "They are... they have the opportunity, but I think that they have to compete with the same... the same team. Right?"

When asked if a transgender participant should be disqualified, Isler said, "It's not my decision. I would like to have the power to make all of the decisions. But, as a human being, you have to [have the opportunity] to realize... to make your dreams come true."
