一名被家人拋棄的變性女子成為2020年新西蘭洲際小姐

Arielle Keil has made history in the land of the Kiwis—this year, she became the first transgender and Filipino woman to be crowned Miss Intercontinental New Zealand and was over the moon with happiness. She began transitioning in 2017, but her family initially disowned her and kicked her out of their home when they found out. Despite the lack of support from her own family, she has flourished, and her relationship with her dad has improved since then.

Arielle Keil在新西蘭創(chuàng)造了歷史——今年，她成為首位變性人，菲律賓女性，加冕新西蘭洲際小姐，欣喜若狂。2017年，她開始變性，但她的家人發(fā)現(xiàn)后，最初與她斷絕了關(guān)系，并把她趕出了家。盡管缺少來自自己家庭的支持，她還是茁壯成長了，從那以后她和父親的關(guān)系也得到了改善。

Arielle underwent gender reassignment surgery in 2020 and now, at the age of 26, she’s more joyous, more confident than ever, having had her beauty recognized by so many people. She will represent New Zealand in the Miss Intercontinental pageant.

Arielle在2020年做了變性手術(shù)，現(xiàn)在26歲的她比以往任何時(shí)候都更快樂、更自信，因?yàn)樗拿利惖玫搅诉@么多人的認(rèn)可。她將代表新西蘭參加洲際小姐大賽。

“When I heard I was crowned Miss Intercontinental NZ, it was a surreal feeling! It didn’t feel real then and even to this day it doesn’t feel real sometimes!” Arielle shared just how happy she is with Bored Panda. “This is a thought I have several times a day whilst looking in the mirror whilst clothed in an oversized hoodie and a scrunchie to keep my mane of hair in a messy bun, “Little old Ari is a beauty queen. Me. From the middle of nowhere. That’s so strange.’ It’s hard to wrap my head around as it hasn’t really changed the way I see myself which is just a regular girl.”

“當(dāng)我聽說自己當(dāng)選新西蘭洲際小姐的時(shí)候，真是太棒了!”那時(shí)候感覺不真實(shí)，直到今天有時(shí)也感覺不真實(shí)!Arielle分享了她和Bored Panda在一起有多開心。“我每天照鏡子的時(shí)候都會有這樣的想法好幾次，我穿著超大號的連帽衫，梳著發(fā)髻，把頭發(fā)梳成凌亂的發(fā)髻，”小阿麗是一位選美皇后。我卻是從偏僻的地方來的。這很奇怪。’這讓我很難接受，因?yàn)檫@并沒有真正改變我看待自己的方式，我只是一個(gè)普通的女孩。”

Arielle revealed that her relationship with her father is something that has been a work in progress throughout her entire life, not just during her transition.

Arielle透露，她和父親的關(guān)系在她的整個(gè)人生中都在不斷改善，而不僅僅是在她的過渡期。

She pointed out that to her, as a queer person, her chosen family, which consists of all kinds of people, is just as important to her as her blood family. “Like so many other queer people, my chosen family has pulled me through extremely dark places and put a roof over my head when I had nowhere to stay. Find your tribe, stick with them, love, and cherish them and no matter what happens you will never feel alone.”

她指出，對她來說，作為一個(gè)同性戀者，她所選擇的家庭，由各種各樣的人組成，對她來說就像她的血親家庭一樣重要。“像許多其他的同性戀者一樣，我選擇的家庭帶我走過了極端黑暗的地方，在我無處可住的時(shí)候給我遮風(fēng)避雨。找到你的部落，和他們在一起，愛他們，珍惜他們，無論發(fā)生什么，你都不會感到孤獨(dú)。”

Arielle was born as a boy named Andrew in Davao City, in the Philippines, but grew up in Auckland, New Zealand. She wasn’t just the first post-op trans person to win the Miss Intercontinental New Zealand title, she was also the first post-op trans woman to compete in the Miss New Zealand beauty pageant.

Arielle出生在菲律賓的達(dá)沃市，原名安德魯，但在新西蘭的奧克蘭長大。她不僅是第一個(gè)術(shù)后變性人贏得新西蘭洲際小姐稱號，她也是第一個(gè)術(shù)后變性人參加新西蘭小姐選美比賽。

Fortunately, things have since improved. Now, Arielle’s father fully accepts her as his daughter and is proud of her. A father’s love, a shining crown, and a degree in fashion design under her belt? Sounds like Arielle just won 2020.

幸運(yùn)的是，情況已經(jīng)有所改善?，F(xiàn)在，Arielle的父親完全接受了她作為自己的女兒，并為她感到自豪。父親的愛，閃亮的王冠，腰帶下的時(shí)裝設(shè)計(jì)學(xué)位?聽起來Arielle贏得了整個(gè)2020年。
