Angela Ponce, Miss Universe Spain, in Madrid. JAIME VILLANUEVA | ATLAS. She is called Ángela Ponce, she is 27 years old, and although she was born a man, she is now considered the most beautiful woman in Spain after winning the Miss Universe contest of that country. last week.
] She is the first transbadual to obtain this precious title and the first in history to participate in the international final of Miss Universe, the 67th edition, for which the date and place did not have been defined.
In 2015 When Miss Cadiz won the crown, the organizers of Miss Mundo vetoed her participation in this contest, alluding to her badual identity. Then, he began his work as a Daniela Foundation activist, offering training in schools and helping transgender children. "The greatest difficulty was seeing others see me differently when I never felt different. I am not a man who wants to be a woman I am not a woman I am a trans woman and I am part of human diversity, just as there are people in black and white, people taller and lower, "says Ponce.
Ponce sincerely believes that he can win the Miss Universe. "I'm calm, but I know that as the date approaches, I'll be a tangle of nerves. I have a very good team that supports me and has many years of experience. I have also been preparing for a long time and I am very confident in myself, "he concludes.
The battle for inclusion in the beauty pageants is not new and precedes Ponce herself. C is the Canadian Canadian-born Jenna Talackova, Miss Universe Canada candidate in 2012, who changed direction in the strict statutes of this national competition and Miss Universe – both detained at that time by Donald Trump – who accepted only representatives who were "naturally born".
Talackova was expelled from the Canadian contest after learning of her transbaduality. Pressure from various NGOs in the following weeks forced the organizers to reverse the decision and to accept the model as representative of the City of Vancouver. It was also decided to allow the participation of transbaduals in these competitions from 2013. Talackova did not win the title of the most beautiful of his country nor participated in the universal reign, but has created a precedent.
