Rođena je kao muško, a sada se zbog nje menjaju pravila

My National Costume in Miss Universe is a traditional Spanish "bata de cola". This is an iconic piece in Spain, also known all over the world; it is a precious reference of my country. To make this wonderful National Costume, @luisfernandezdisenador was inspired by a number of things. The first one being the white villages of Andalusia, since we wanted to honor where I come from (Seville). The white of the villages, of purity... White representing peace, the peace that I bring as my message hand and hand with equality, respect, inclusion and love. A white 'bata de cola' that crosses a river of beautiful red carnations made by @hatsbyroiz. Secondly we had the carnations as inspiration because they are the most typical and recognizable flower of my beautiful country. For that reason I wanted this flower and its color because it represents the love that, as Miss Universe Spain 2018, I'm transmitting to the whole world. That is the motivate behind a river of red carnations shaped around my head and body, almost as a Spanish flag. As complements, I carried a fan to expand the scent of our land, a beautiful tortoise-shell & Swarovski clip that crowns my head as Miss Universe Spain 2018.

Ova 27-godišnjakinja ovoga leta je pobedila u takmičenju za najlepšu ženu Španije i nije štedela reči da se o tome pohvali na Instagramu i kaže kako se njeni snovi ostvaruju.

Njen cilj je da bude ambasador inkluzije, poštovanja i različitosti ne samo za LGBT populaciju, već za ceo svet.

"Pokazaću da transseksualna osoba može da bude šta god poželi: učiteljica, majka, doktorka, političarka pa ča i mis sveta", rekla je ona za Time.

Njena pobeda bila bi značajna simbolička poruka američkom predsedniku i pobeda ljudskih prava i sloboda. Transseksualne osobe su dugo bile pod pritiskom i sputavane, a ako dobije krunu - to će značiti i transseksualnim ženama i ženama koje su rođene kao žene.

Ona je uspešno završila sa procesom promene pola 2014. godine i takmičila se za najlepšu ženu Španije 2015. godine, ali je ostala bez kvalifikacija jer pravila nisu dozvoljavala da se takmiče transrodne osobe.

"Nije bilo lako. Na dan izbora sam saznala da kršim pravila i da ne mogu da se takmičim. To me je slomilo. Posle toga su se pravila promenila i to zbog mene", rekla je ona.
