A Spanish model is set to become the first transgender woman to compete in the Miss Universe pageant.
Angela Ponce was crowned in the countrywide Miss Universe Spain 2018 over the weekend, becoming the first transgender woman to win the title. The 26-year-old beat 22 fellow contestants to claim the top spot in the Spanish city of Tarragona, Pink News reported.
Her win grants Ponce a place to compete in the worldwide Miss Universe contest set to be held in Philippines in December 2018.
Transgender contestants were first allowed to compete in Miss Universe six years ago.
The change was enacted after trans contestant Jenna Talackova was disqualified from Miss Universe Canada when organizers discovered she had transitioned from male to female.
After weeks of discussion, LGBT charity GLAAD later persuaded then-owner Donald Trump to open the competition up to trans contestants. In the 2012 Miss Universe Canada contest Talackova placed 12th place, but won Miss Congeniality.
Ponce wrote in Spanish on Instagram that representing the name and colors of Spain at the Miss Universe contest is a “dream.”
“My goal is to be a spokesperson for a message of inclusion, respect and diversity not only for the LGBTQ+ community, but also for the entire world,” she said.
In 2015, Ponce competed at the rival Miss World Spain contest as the representative for Cadiz, but lost to Miss Barcelona Mireia Lalaguna.
Speaking to Spanish newspaper 20 Minutos in 2015, Ponce said: "Society is not educated for diversity, it's what made me go public, I mean, here I am and I'm not weird, I just have a different story, a woman who came to life differently but I'm a woman."
Ponce revealed she first began to explore her gender identity aged 11, and completed her transition in April 2014.

“Farewell and adieu, you fair Spanish ladies...”
Laz, what say you?
He did. She didn't.
Who watches this trash?
Correction. first MAN to compete in Miss Universe.
How do you feel, girls, about a swinging dick putting on lipstick?
Instead of LGBTXYZ I suggest they use “don’t do sex the normal way.” L is not G is not B is not T. The only reason why they’re all in the same group, is to make the group as big as possible for political power. Since only a limited number of people are abnormal, this group is always going to be small.
IOW, men are still running the world and women are second class citizens.
Too bad the contest won't happen in October, just before the midterms.
Just noticed the arms. Ropy muscles. Oh dear.
Women aren’t good enough to be women’s standard of beauty anymore.
That statement is reinforced by the raft of “transgender” models displacing women on the runway.
Are there rules in the MU pageant about what is and is not allowed in terms of “enhancements”? There’s no way that’s Ponce’s natural hair, for example, so how is that fair to the other contestants? Physical appearance is still part of the competition.
Every single cell in “her” body has both an X and a Y chromosome. That makes “her” a him. I don’t care what surgery and hormone replacement is done, that’s a guy - a rather screwed-up guy, but a guy nonetheless.
WRT sports (which I know is NOT the subject of this thread), the transgender people are in the process of destroying female sports. I wonder where the so-called women’s rights groups are on this...but then I remember that they are just Leftist front organizations which masquerade as being pro-women (as do pro-black, etc. organizations). Whatever TF happened to honesty in our society?
“Her win grants Ponce a place to compete in the worldwide Miss Universe contest set to be held in Philippines in December 2018.”
LOL. The Philippines and their trannies will destroy him/her/whatever. Ms. Spain doesn’t stand a chance.
To be clear, there are no chicks with d!@&s.
Angela Ponce is part of the reason there will be no swimsuit contests any more.
Actually, I hope he wins it all.It must happen sooner or later and the sooner the better. Men are taking over women’s sports so why not beauty pageants? This pimple needs to come to a head.
Spain has about 48 million inhabitants. Assuming 50% are female (with XX chromosomes), that’s 24 million, of which about two-thirds are between 15 and 65 years of age. So this man posing as a woman is more beautiful than 16 million genuine Spanish ladies?
A man in a dress should not be allowed to compete with women.
“And of course Miss America had to be the contest to quit wearing swimsuits...”
Saves the judges from having to grade on the “most convincing camel toe.”
