Stunning beauty queen makes history as first transgender Miss Universe contestant

FOR the first time in the Miss Universe’s 66-year history, there is a transgender contestant in the competition.

Angela Ponce, who is Miss Spain, will be making history as she takes part in the finals of the beauty pageant in Bangkok, Thailand on Monday.

The pageant changed one of its longstanding policies in 2012, which stated that participants should be “naturally born” women.

Angela, 27, says that by taking part she hopes to highlight how misunderstood the transgender community is, and she also intends to send a message to Donald Trump.

Angela particularly wants to raise awareness about the high rates of suicide within the community, and said: “Who hasn't suffered from prejudice? Who hasn't had to deal with bullying?”

The timing of her participation is particularly poignant, as a recent leaked White House document said President Trump’s administration is considering blocking transgender people from military service.

The report also said they may push changes to the law to define gender by biological traits at birth.

Angela responded to Trump, who used to own the Miss Universe competition, and said: “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 [her head.]”

I’d bet on him to win, but it doesn’t feel right to bet on a sure thing.

What a joke this is. There have been female impersonators for centuries. Now we are supposed to call them women?

When he wins, the women in the competition will be expected to smile, hug and say nice things. One more thing the freaks have taken from them.

Ponce and pimp are the same thing, right. They both pimp prostitutes.

Bangkok has been known for its ladyboys since back when there were just two genders and only females used the ladies room.
