Mexican contestant Valentina Fluchaire was crowned Miss International Queen in a beauty pageant for transgender women held in Pattaya, Thailand, on Saturday.

The native of Colima state received the crown from the previous year’s winner, Jazell Barbie Royale, from the United States.

“I have no words. … I have worked so hard to get here. I don’t want to get sentimental, I don’t want to cry,” said Fluchaire, who added that she will wear the crown with “much respect and responsibility” and that she will work to benefit transgender people and other social causes.

It was not the first trans beauty contest.

There was other trans beauty contests, one was in Northampton MA.

Faced with the unexpected bad publicity, Trump made a rapid retreat…

And when Trump makes a retreat he never forgets, he seeks revenge and I think that is the reason he has attacked us so hard. We are on his shit list.
