Early years

Wendy Guevara is a talented Mexican influencer, actress, singer, and entrepreneur, identified as a transgender woman. She is the daughter of Francisco Guevara and Fabiola Venegas Vázquez. At birth, she was named and baptized with the name Luis Carmen Guevara Venegas. She has three siblings.

Her family was involved in the footwear industry, dedicated to the creation and manufacturing of shoes. Over time, Wendy also worked in the family business. However, later on, she was forced to engage in prostitution for a few years in Mexico City.

Rise to fame

Towards the end of the penultimate quarter of 2017, Wendy Guevara found herself on a hill in the city, accompanied by her friend Paola Suárez, who is now a renowned influencer. At that moment, they were enjoying a romantic encounter with two men while drinking, well aware that drinking in public could attract the attention of the police. As their companions went out to buy more beers, Wendy and Paola took the opportunity to record a fun video in which they shouted to the wind, “¡Estamos perdidas!” (We’re lost!) and the other echoed back, “Perdidas, perdidas” (Lost, lost). Paola shared the video on her Facebook account, generating great amusement among internet users, who began to share it massively. This video became the turning point that propelled both content creators to fame.

Shortly after, the two young women were invited to the MTV Millennial Awards to receive recogniti on for their viral internet videos. Since Paola lived in Mexico City, Wendy made the decision to start sharing content on YouTube and asked her friend Kimberly Irene to join her in creating videos.

Career

After their video went viral, Wendy, Paola, and Kimberly embarked on an exciting artistic project called “Las Perdidas” (The Lost Girls). These talented creators of audiovisual content share their videos on the YouTube platform and have also had the opportunity to participate in various television programs and other platforms. In 2019, Wendy and Paola made their television debut by being part of a virtual special for the popular telenovela “Doña Flor Y Sus Dos Maridos”, produced by Televisa. As their content has grown, they have added more people to their group of friends, forming what is now known as “El Clan de Las Perdidas” (The Clan of The Lost Girls).

In 2021, Guevara began her career in the music industry, introducing a series of promotional singles. These include “Mua”, “Hey Perra”, “Hasta Que Salga El Sol”, “Putssy” in collaboration with the talented drag queen singer Trixy Star, as well as “Las Bebas Trans” and “Tu Malandrito” in collaboration with Pol Prince.

During 2022, Wendy and her group of influencer friends had the opportunity to collaborate with the renowned journalist Adela Micha on the show “La Saga”. Shortly after, the trio thrilled their followers by confirming their participation in the biographical television series “Ellas Soy Yo”, which is based on the life of the talented singer Gloria Trevi.

After releasing her promotional single “TAPU” in February 2023, Wendy received an invitation to participate in the renowned reality show “La Casa De Los Famosos Mexico”, which was broadcasted on the TelevisaUnivision and EndemolShine Boomdog channels, including Las Estrellas, Canal 5, and the streaming service Vix. During her stay on the show, rumors of a potential relationship with Nicola Porcella surfaced, although up to that point, they had only displayed a friendship with great chemistry.

Finally, on August 13, 2023, Wendy Guevara emerged as the winner of the program, achieving a milestone by becoming the first transgender woman to win a reality show in Mexico. Her victory became etched in the country’s history and in the hearts of her followers.

Personal life

Since childhood, before beginning her transition, Wendy faced episodes of violence from her father and older brother. Francisco Guevara did not accept his child playing with dolls, and her older brother used to report her, leading to physical abuse towards Wendy as a consequence. As Wendy grew older, her older brother also began facing ridicule and harassment due to his childhood appearance, which resulted in him perpetuating violence against Wendy as well. Nowadays, the influencer shares this period of her life with sadness and reflects that at some point, her older brother might have felt ashamed of her.

During her adolescence, when Guevara began questioning her sexual orientation, preferences, and gender identity, she had the opportunity to see trans actresses and celebrities on television who excelled in the industry. One of these inspiring figures was the renowned actress Alejandra Bogue, who was one of the first women to motivate Wendy to embrace her true identity and define herself as a transgender woman.

In that process, the content creator received support from her neighbor Lucero, a transgender woman who owns a hair salon in their neighborhood. The generous lady Lucero opened the doors of her business to several young people in the area so they could get themselves done there. At first, Wendy identified herself as Vianney, but it was her neighbor who suggested another name and baptized her as “Wendy”, in honor of the character played by Angélica Vale in the telenovela “Amigas y Rivales”, named Wendy Nayeli.

Currently, Wendy Guevara is in a period of being single, fully enjoying her life and her growing fame.

Her experience in prison

Wendy experienced a period of 48 days of confinement in the holding cells of León, Guanajuato, for engaging in prostitution. It is important to mention that prostitution is prohibited in that state of Mexico. Unfortunately, during her time in the holding cells, she went through extremely difficult situations that nobody should ever experience.

Victim of various abuses

From an early age, Wendy went through multiple challenges. She had to confront a dysfunctional family dynamic, marked by her father’s alcoholism and drug addiction. At the same time, she dealt with doubts and insecurities related to her sexuality and gender identity.

Sister’s mate

Unfortunately, at the age of seven, she became a victim of sexual abuse by a stranger. Subsequently, it was discovered that the perpetrator was a companion of her older sister. This tragic event took place during the holiday season while Wendy was spending time with her cousins, taking part in the creation of lanterns and bonfires. The young girl mentioned that at that moment, she felt fear and couldn’t do anything to defend herself. Sadly, the incident w as only halted belatedly due to the brave intervention of her cousin, who quickly informed her aunts and other family members. Aware of the seriousness of the situation, they immediately alerted the authorities, leading to the arrest of the aggressor and his subsequent prosecution.

Sadly, this incident left a profound mark on Wendy’s life. In a revealing interview, she confessed that she continued experiencing nocturnal enuresis until the age of 14 as a direct result of the trauma she had lived through. However, thanks to the psychological support she received, the influencer was able to address and, with time, process what had happened. The therapeutic process allowed her to heal and gradually come to terms with the traumatic events she had faced.

A relative of her cousins

At the age of twelve, she was a victim of a cousin’s relative, who was already older at that time, and he asked her to touch him inappropriately for a minor. Unfortunately, she didn’t talk about this event when she was young. She exposed it now that she is recognized to alert her followers and parents, urging them to take care of and supervise children’s childhood, and to try to preserve their innocence.

Taquero

Amidst a distressing escape from a man determined to attack her with a machete, fate led Wendy to a busy Oaxacan taco stand. Desperate to find help, she approached the manager of the place, who kindly provided her refuge in his van. However, behind the façade of kindness, a dark and terrifying secret was concealed: the manager took advantage of Wendy’s vulnerable situation to commit a disgusting act, touching her inappropriately without her consent.

Police officer

During her time in jail, in the detention cells, a police officer would pretend to conduct an inspection in a room. He would call a group of women and have them go individually into the room, where he would abuse them. Unfortunately, Wendy was also a victim of this man, who forced each inmate to perform oral sexual acts.
