Andréa Furet competition, first transgender candidate likely to make Miss France
Alexia Laroche-Joubert had announced it in December, shortly after taking over the presidency of the Miss France society following Sylvie Tellier: “There is no problem. No worries” about a transgender contestant entering the pageant, paving the way for more diversity.
And it may well be that Andréa Furet will become the face of this evolution, the 19-year-old actress being currently in the running for Miss Paris 2023, which will take place on June 19.
If she wins this regional election, she will be the first transgender candidate to participate in Miss France 2023, at the end of December. The actress, followed by nearly 15,000 subscribers on Instagram, has already been seen on TF1: she played “Juju”, a young girl born in a boy’s body, in the fiction ”Il est elle”, broadcast on November 1 on the front page. His first big role on television. She then told us that she herself had become a woman when she came of age, shortly before the shooting. “I hope the film will be able to help all kinds of people, to inform you about how it goes when you’re a minor, the hormones… and above all to show that there’s nothing abnormal about being yourself” she pointed out.
France not ready?
Beauty pageants are increasingly open to transgender women. In 2018, Spaniard Angela Ponce was the first transgender woman to compete in the Miss Universe pageant. Last year, a transgender woman entered the Miss USA pageant.
In 2019, Sylvie Tellier, the general manager of the Miss France company (who would be leaving according to Le Parisien) was more reserved on the question: “I do not think that the French are ready to elect a Miss transsexual. And if the French are not ready, there will be no Miss transsexual”. In view of certain comments on social networks, she was right, while other Internet users, on the contrary, spoke of “progress” and denounced rules from another time.
