Biography
[edit]At age eleven, Lola Rodríguez Díaz came out as transgender, and was recognized as such at school. With the support of her parents, she began her transitioning process at thirteen.[1][2] She was a psychology student in Portugal when she began acting.[3]
In 2015 she was the first transgender minor candidate for Queen of the Carnival of Las Palmas with the fantasy La vida es bella, sponsored by the Island Council.[1] She followed in the footsteps of Isabel Torres, who had been the first trans woman candidate in 2005.[4] Rodríguez was chosen fourth maid of honor.[5] The same year, she participated in the Las Palmas LGBT pride demonstration, where she gave a speech.[6]
In 2018, as part of the scheduled events of the Madrid LGBT pride parade, she wore a garment called the Amsterdam Rainbow Dress, made from the flags of countries where being a member of the LGBT community is illegal. In 2016 the dress was worn by Valentijn de Hingh.[7]
Her first job in a television series was a starring role in Atresmedia's Veneno, created by Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo based on the life of Cristina La Veneno, where she played a young Valeria Vegas.[3][8]
