description: "Carmen de Mairena was a Spanish cuplé singer and popular television personality from Barcelona. Known as Miguel de Mairena until 1993, Carmen came out as a trans woman in 1978, which led to a decline in her artistic career and her working as a prostitute for years. In the 1990s, she gained national popularity for her comedic television appearances alongside presenter Javier Cárdenas, who has linked her to the self-described \"freaky\" world. Also, she made occasional incursions in the world of the cinema, even the pornographic one."
