A petition calls for Carmen Carrera to be Victoria's Secret first ever transgender Angel.

The Change.org petition now has nearly 50,000 supporters. In an interview with Time, the 30-year-old Carrera talked about how being a model for the esteemed lingerie company will greatly benefit the transgender community.

"I want to do this for, of course, me and my career. I'm a show girl at heart. If I'm going to do fashion shows, this is the one to do. And I want to do it for my family. I want them to be proud of me. I want them to be like, that's our kid, we raised that girl right there. And my community, for sure," the reality star explained to Time.

Carrera started making waves as the first openly transgender contestant in Logo TV's "RuPaul's Drag Race," Time wrote. After her run on the show, Carrera medically transitioned into a woman while still married to her husband, Adrian Torres, who she wed eight years ago and who she met when she was still a man.

In order to repair their struggling marriage, the couple joined VH1's "Couples Therapy." According to Carrera, "Couples Therapy" featured her trying to figure life out as a woman, Wetpaint reported.

Carrera, who is of Puerto Rican descent, said in her interview with Time that she wants to build her experience in acting and that she would love to play a woman with biological issues. But she admits that this is not easy for her.

"I feel like I have to work double. But I'm hoping that everyone's open to giving me a biological female role and the fact that I'm trans is not an issue," Carrera told the news outlet.

When asked what she thinks of non-transgender actors playing transgender people, like Jeffrey Tambor on "Transparent," Carrera said that she has no problem with it if the actor is good enough to portray the character properly.

"It depends on the role. If the role is for a person who transitions late in their life or if the role is for a transvestite, I get it," Carrera said, as quoted by Time. "But at the same time, I would like to see the trans community more active in acting. It has to work both ways. The casting director should be open to seeing transgender talent, and the transgender people need to build up the courage to go an audition. I just think that when it comes to stereotypical transgender roles, that's where I start to feel it's cheesy, or feel that it's not who trans people are."
