Sofia Salomon wants to be the first transgender woman to participate in the Miss Venezuela pageant. She hopes to move the lines and offer "visibility" to the transgender community in this conservative society.
Applications for Miss Venezuela will be closed on Wednesday. Each candidate will then be evaluated by a jury that will select those to compete in May 20, 2023 in Caracas. The winner will be crowned Miss Venezuela and crowned Miss International Queen in May 2022 in Thailand in the biggest beauty pageant for transgender women.
