Miss Spain Angela Ponce
Miss Spain Angela Ponce is the first openly transgender woman to be a contestant in the 2018 Miss Universe Pageant. According to the NY Post, Ponce proclaimed, "I always say: Having a vagina didnt transform me into a woman. I am a woman, already before birth, because my identity is here." According to Telegraph, Ponce hopes to send a strong message to President Donald Trump, as he is the former owner of Miss Universe. Ponce makes it a point to promote transgender rights, as well as raise awareness about inclusivity, tolerance and diversity.
In an interview with Today, Ponce said she's wanted to compete in pageants since she was a young child. She just didn't know if it would ever be possible. Ponce said, "I never imagined (I would make it to Miss Universe) because I lived in a society where everyone said I couldnt do that. And I didnt have the information to realize that my dream to be a woman could ever actually be realized.
