Wearing a rainbow sequin gown she designed herself in honor of Pride Month, Kataluna Enriquez made history last weekend when she was crowned Miss Nevada USA — the win will make her the first openly transgender contestant to compete in the upcoming Miss USA pageant this fall. 为纪念“骄傲月”，卡塔露娜·安利克斯身穿自己设计的彩虹亮片礼服，上周末摘得美国内华达州小姐桂冠，创造了历史。这将使她成为今年秋天即将举行的美国小姐选美大赛的首位公开的变性选手。  "My win is our win," she posted afterward on her Instagram in a message to the LGBTQ community. “我赢了就代表我们都赢了，”她后来在照片墙上发文告诉性少数群体的人们说。 "We just made history. Happy pride." “我们创造了历史。骄傲月万岁！” Enriquez, who was also Miss Nevada USA's first trans contestant, beat out 21 other women for the top spot. 安利克斯也是美国内华达州小姐的首位跨性别选手，她击败了其他21名女性，获得了冠军。 She will represent the Silver State at the 2021 Miss USA pageant that will be held on Nov. 29 in Tulsa, Okla., where she will have a chance to be crowned Miss USA and advance to the Miss Universe pageant. 她将代表内华达州参加11月29日在俄克拉荷马州塔尔萨举行的2021年美国小姐大赛，到那时，她将有机会成为美国小姐，并晋级环球小姐大赛。 If crowned Miss USA, Enriquez will become the second trans contestant to compete for Miss Universe, after Angela Ponce, who represented Spain in the 2018 Miss Universe pageant. 如果安利克斯摘得美国小姐桂冠，她将成为继代表西班牙参加2018环球小姐大赛的安杰拉·庞塞之后第二位环球小姐的变性选手。  The pageant began allowing transgender contestants in 2012. 环球小姐选美比赛于2012年开始允许变型选手参赛。 Enriquez began competing in pageants in 2015. Unable to afford custom designer gowns that fit her body at the time, she began designing her own to wear for competitions and eventually started her own line, Kataluna Kouture (@katalunakouture). 2015年，安利克斯开始参加选美比赛。由于买不起当时适合她身体的定制礼服，她开始设计自己参加比赛时穿的礼服，最终创立了自己的品牌卡塔露娜成衣 (@katalunakouture)。 In March, Enriquez became the first trans woman to win Miss Nevada's preliminary pageant, Miss Silver State USA. 今年三月，安利克斯成为了内搭华达州史上首位变性内华达小姐。 The journey has not been easy, and Enriquez has faced discrimination. 这一路走来并不容易，安利克斯也面临着很多歧视和偏见。 While competing in a pageant outside of Nevada, she had not been given a roommate when pageant organizers learned she was trans. 她在内华达州外参加选美比赛时，组织者得知她是跨性别者后，没有给她安排室友。 A doctor had also been sent to certify that she was a woman before she could continue. 他们还派了一名医生来检查她的身体确认她变成了女性了，才允许她继续比赛。 But Enriquez told NPR's Weekend All Things Considered that her determination to make history was what motivated her to keep competing. 但安利克斯在接受美国国家公共电台的《周末大盘点》节目采访时表示，她创造历史的决心是激励她继续竞争的动力。 "I had a purpose and I had a dream," she said. “我心里有了目标，有了梦想，”她说。 "I wanted to compete on the Miss USA stage. When I was young, I always wanted to see someone on the Miss USA stage — someone like me. And it just happened to be that I was the person that I needed to make history." “我想在美国小姐的舞台上竞争。 当我年轻的时候，我总是想看到一个人站在美国小姐的舞台上——一个像我这样的人。 碰巧我就是那个我需要去创造历史的人。” As she prepares for the Miss USA pageant, Enriquez said she plans to advocate for equality and mental health. 如今她在筹备接下来的美国小姐选美比赛了，安利克斯说她打算为平等和心里健康做宣传。 "My win is not just a win for the trans community," she said. “我的胜利不仅仅是代表了变性人，”她说。 "It's a win for all women to be represented." “也是代表了所有的女性。” 感谢关注 跟Amber一起看世界 |
