The Charm of Angela Ponce, the First Transgender Contestant in Miss Universe

Angela Ponce is the first transgender contestant in the Miss Universe competition. The presence of Miss Spain is not just mere decoration. More than that, she is trying to prove that transgender individuals can make positive contributions to the world.

This woman is trying to change the negative perception of the transgender community. She held the title of Miss Spain in 2015. In order to achieve this title, she surpassed 22 contestants for the most prestigious title in Spain.

Miss Universe, under Donald Trump's management, prohibited the participation of transgender women. But after a change in management, this discriminatory rule was changed.
