Have you really got me in the Newsweek and in The Times of London? ". Ángela Ponce, the first transgender woman to be crowned Miss Universe Spain, knew that her victory would mark a before and after, but she could not imagine the commotion among the other misses. From Manila, for example, Catriona Gray Miss Philippines has declared to the national television that "it understands that many are surprised. But knowing Angela will be an opportunity to understand more. "

This is the double victory of Ángela Ponce. Not only recognize what is yours: beauty is non-transferable and being on top of this pyramid is a personal achievement. "It is to recognize a group that for a long time has been apart and marginalized and that now, suddenly, is seen on the cover of the mainstream media in the world," the winner of Miss Spain tells El Independiente. Above all, he is happy because the press is treating the issue "with great respect".

Angela is just getting ready. The interview you have given to this newspaper is a bit late. Two makeup artists help her comb her hair. The crown weighs more than two kilos. Spain, the country where the feminine beauty of its women is a topic at the same level as the bulls, the paella and the sangria, has given a kick to the predictable choosing as an example of beauty a Sevillian of 26 years with measures 90-61- 90 that was born man. "Spain is at the forefront of other countries. In many European countries, transgender people have fewer rights and are more invisible. "

I do not feel like a woman now because I have had surgery or taken hormones
For someone who has never met a transsexual person it can be difficult to understand what transsexuality is. "I do not pretend to be a cisgender woman, that is, a woman born with a female gender. I am a transsexual woman, I was born a man and I want to be respected for what I am, "says Angela. She does not feel like a woman now because she had surgery or because she took hormones. "There are many children who have health problems that are incompatible with hormonal treatment or operations, but that does not make them feel less like me." To sum it up in one sentence: there are girls with penises and guys with vulva and they just want to be respected.
Miss Spain, who in her youth was computer science, is also considered an activist for the rights of trans people. The body is not everything nor
ven for those who must change at all costs to not feel die. Not everything is not even for the most beautiful woman in the Kingdom. Miss Spain, combines its model activity with the collaborations with Daniela Foundation. Since 2015, transsexuality is no longer considered a disease. There is nothing to cure, however life for many transsexual people is still uphill. "In Spain procedures have been greatly streamlined but there are still many legal obstacles to change the DNI, especially in the case of minors and also to receive hormonal treatment during adolescence," explains Angela.
My parents, to make me feel more comfortable, started buying me unisex clothes and tracksuits
"When I was little, everyone believed that I had the right to express my opinion about my life, to play with dolls, to have a certain hairstyle or the way of walking". Ángela has become clever soon, that is why she says that it has not cost her to find the courage to get on a catwalk and fight for the crown of Miss Spain. Her family was there, on June 29, when she was elected in Tarragona. "I was delighted that you have been able to live with me this moment. I have achieved all my goals in life because they have allowed me, "he says. Since I was little I knew that I was a girl locked in a man's body. Her parents, to make her feel more comfortable, began to buy her unisex clothes and tracksuits.
In his years of collaboration with Daniela Foundation he has known many families. Each one is a world. "After all, it is they who do the true transit. They are the people who receive the news and do not know how to face a new reality. They often need more help than the children themselves, "says Angela.
In 2015, the Miss Universe alternative competition was presented to the Miss World contest. It was excluded because being a woman of birth is still an essential requirement to participate in this contest. Then, three years later, he tried with Miss Universe. The other women's beauty competition opened its catwalks to transgender women in 2012, when the then Miss Canada, the transgender Jenna Talackova, sued the organization.

If I do not wear the crown, it will be because it was stolen, "says Ángela Ponce, convinced that she has options to become Miss Universe.
The now president of the United States, Donald Trump, was then the owner of the rights of Miss Universe. He decided to lift the interdiction "not because of fear of the legal cause but because we are in favor of equality. If we had known of the demand we would have left the veto. " So Trump explained, as always in his own way, the decision that now allows the transgender Angela Ponce to apply to be one of the most beautiful women in the world. It is not yet known when or where the beauty peak will be, but Angela is already preparing to win. "If I do not wear the crown, it will be because it has been stolen."
