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 didn’t 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 couldn’t do that. And I didn’t have the information to realize that my dream to be a woman could ever actually be realized.”

You really weren’t wrong. Whatever age it was when it let itself be mutilated is disgusting.

I think they’ll make sure the wiener is in the top 5, so that if he doesn’t win this year, they’ll prime the pump for next year so to speak.
