The world is indeed making desirable changes, and the latest of them is that a transgender woman is now competing in the Miss Universe Pagent.

The current reigning Miss Spain, Ángela Maria Ponce Camacho made history when she entered for and was accepted into the Miss Universe Pageant.


The record set by Angele comes after the Miss Universe organization was heavily criticized in 2012 after disqualifying a transgender woman, Jenna Talackova from the Miss Canada competition because she was not "naturally born" a woman.

Miss Camacho, who now broke a new record, said the milestone she achieved was for those who have no visibility, no voice because they all deserve respect and inclusion.


The 27-year-old Ponce wrote on her Instagram on Friday, “This is for you, for those who have no visibility, no voice, because we all deserve a world of respect, inclusion, and freedom. And today I am here, proudly representing my nation, all women and human rights."
