Bianca Lizbeth Fernández

Bianca Lizbeth Fernández, a 21-year-old woman and Miss Trans Zamora 2024, was the victim of a violent attack in a pub in La Bañeza, León. The incident occurred on March 22, 2026, and has garnered significant media attention due to its alleged transphobic nature. The assault reportedly began in the women's restroom when a group of women confronted her, claiming she didn't belong there. The situation escalated, resulting in a physical assault by a group of approximately 8-10 people, leaving her with severe injuries, including potential eye damage. Five women, aged 18-24, have been arrested in connection with the attack and are being charged with assault and affray. However, Fernández feels the charges should include a hate crime. The incident has sparked outrage and renewed calls for greater protection and recognition of LGBTQ+ rights, highlighting the ongoing issue of transphobic violence.
