Miss Universe Canada Disqualifies Transsexual Contestant: She was Born a Boy
Miss Universe Canada officials have banned 23-year-old transsexual Jenna Talackova from participating in the pageant finals to be held in Toronto in May, 2012. The Vancouver contestant was one of sixty-five women chosen to compete in the national contest (which is owned by Donald Trump). The Daily Mail Reports that Denis Davila, national director of Miss Universe Canada, asserts that every contestant must be a "naturally born female." Critics of the decision claim that the rules do not specifically address sex change or plastic surgery.

The statuesque blonde Talackova is calling it a human rights issue. She says that she knew she was a girl by age four, started hormone therapy at fourteen, and had sex reassignment surgery at nineteen. She's previously competed in both transsexual and women's beauty pageants. "All I can say is that they disqualified me because I'm not 'natural born,' she told the National Post. "[That] doesn't make sense because since I was conscious, I always felt this way."
After being kicked out of the pageant, Talackova, whose twitter account has since been locked, tweeted, "I'm disqualified, however I'm not giving up. I'm not going to just let them disqualify me over discrimination." Online support for the beauty queen is growing. So far, over twenty-one thousand people have signed a petition demanding she be allowed to compete. It reads, "She is a woman and deserves to be treated as any other woman would be."
Talackova, who says she is not doing interviews until she consults a lawyer, describes herself as, "a woman with a past."

We've witnessed similar incidents in Tennis and Athletics. i can't see rules being changed... Too much litigation..
Rules are rules..perhaps though we may see amendments to these rules soon!
NO COMMENT
OKY
Rules are rules... She should go to Thailand and enter a contest there. .
I wouldn't dare to teach you physics, Babu. Firstly, you already know everything, and secondly, I don't think anyone understands what I could teach. So, no use at all!
Child Pageants should be banned as it is pretty sick and gives me the creeps. Small children who are dressed like adult women :S
Its a tricky one with the Miss Universe....
:/
lol sorry in sense my condolence to her as she or he cldnt qualify i feel bad for her / him i m just confused sorry
lol
soil and gender change is same LP :( thank god ur not my physics teacher ha,ha
and what's so funny about it? unless lol in the title of your post means something different..
It's the same with the US president: he has to be born on US soil! As if that was a criteria for quality, ha, ha.
but in the above case it was different
LP that means u had a past as a man right now too ur a man
they didn't disqualify her over discrimination; they disqualified her because she didn't fullfill the requirements needed. namely: being not naturally born female.
it's not the miss universe fault. all she can do is push to change the requirements.
I am a man with a past. Honestly, who hasn't a past?
