Miss Universe pageant eliminates transgender contestant
(CNN) — Jenna Talackova was one of the 65 finalists selected to contend for the title of Miss Universe Canada and the honor of representing her country in the Miss Universe competition, but she will not be allowed to compete because organizers say Talackova lied about having undergone sexual reassignment surgery and did not meet requirements for the pageant.
“As with any competition, the Miss Universe pageant has rules which apply to all of its franchises around the world. Such rules include, but are not limited to, citizenship, age, and marital status requirements. Additionally, the rules currently state that all contestants must be naturally born females,” the Miss Universe Organization said.
Those rules are not mentioned on the Miss Universe website.

I PRESONALLY THINK THAT SHE SHOULD BE AUTHORIZED TO COMPETE. TO ME, SHE IS A WOMAN.
SHE SUFFERED ENOUGH TO CORRECT NATURE’S MISTAKE…. SINCE BIRTH SHE WAS STUCKED IN THE WRONG BODY GENDER, HER MIND WAS OF A WOMAN SINCE SHE WAS A LITTLE GIRL….
LET HER BE A WOMAN, IT IS HER RIGHT, HER DECISION AND ALSO BECAUSE SHE DESERVES IT!
