Miss Universe Spain beauty queen is transgender
Angela Ponce was determined to have gender reassignment surgery at the age of 22 to be herself and fulfill her dream of shining on stage.
Angela Ponce was born in Seville, southern Spain. Unlike other boys, Ponce loved playing with Barbie dolls and was fascinated with dresses from a young age. Angela's parents did not forbid her but always encouraged her son. "Luckily, my family supported me and my father often sat and played with dolls with me," Angela Ponce said. |
Since her teenage years, Angela Ponce has been fighting to live her true gender identity. She was not afraid of being discriminated against or teased by her friends at school. However, her life at that time was full of trouble because she still had the body of a boy. |
It was not until 2014, at the age of 22, that Angela finally had the courage and financial ability to inject female hormones and undergo gender reassignment surgery. |
Naturally slim, Angela soon acquired the perfect figure of a woman. |
Angela's charming beauty
She increasingly improved her beauty before entering beauty contests in Spain. |
In 2015, Angela registered for the Miss World Spain contest and made it into the top 10. The beauty confided that she had cherished this dream since she was a child, sitting in front of the TV and watching the beauties shine on stage. |
Angela's appearance at that time caused a stir in public opinion because she was the first transgender contestant to participate in a beauty pageant to compete with other normal girls. |
After the beauty pageant, Angela became a sought-after model. |
She has a beautiful face, charming demeanor and sexy body that is not inferior to other professional models. |
In 2018, Angela decided to conquer another peak, the Miss Universe Spain crown. |
She entered the competition with confidence, catwalk experience and a strong message that she wanted to raise awareness of the transgender community. |
In the final night that took place on the evening of June 29, Angela Ponce excelled over 19 other contestants to become Miss Universe Spain 2018. |
She is the first transgender contestant to win a regular beauty pageant and is also the first transgender representative to compete at Miss Universe held in the US later this year. |
Angela Ponce's radiant beauty and unique journey will help her become a promising candidate at Miss Universe. |
