The Miss Nevada pageant has crowned its first ever transgender winner, who will go on to compete for the title of Miss USA later this year.

Kataluna Enriquez, 27, was named Miss Nevada at Sunday's pageant, which was held at South Point hotel-casino in Las Vegas.  

Next up, she'll head to Oklahoma for the Miss USA contest on November 29, where she will also be the first trans woman to vie for the national title.

Kataluna was born in the Philippines and moved to the US at age 10.

She first began competing in pageants in 2016 while working as a model, but it wasn't always smooth sailing, and she revealed that one event went sour after the judges learned she was trans.

'I was asked to provide documents that were invasive, in my opinion, physically asking me to get a letter from my doctor,' she told KVVU-TV.

They did let her compete, but wouldn't assign her a roommate.

'It brought me back to the time where I felt like I was not welcome,' she said, calling it 'humiliating.'

She won other pageants, though, including Queen California, Queen USA 2016, Super Sireyna WWUSA, an international transgender pageant called Queen of the Universe — and recently, the Miss Silver State USA preliminary pageant.

'Miss Silver State was a great experience … to me it was honestly a celebration of womanhood and diversity and this celebration of being your true self,' she said.
