It’s official: The most beautiful woman in Portugal is actually a man. Marina Machete was crowned Miss Portugal Friday night — securing the honor as the first transgender “woman” to win the title.

“Proud to be the first trans woman to compete for the title of Miss Universe Portugal,” Machete wrote on Instagram before winning the title. “For years it was not possible for me to participate and today I am proud to be part of this incredible group of finalists.”

Machete — a 28-year-old flight attendant — will represent Portugal in the Miss Universe pageant in El Salvador on Nov. 18.

Watch as the female contestants politely clap and congratulate the man who took their place. The patriarchy wins again!
