Miss Universe Canada Disqualifies Transsexual Contestant: She was Born a Boy
By Sarah B. Weir, – 9 hours ago

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."

"Critics" you mean "Liberals". As only a liberal would twist the meaning of "natural born female" and counter that it does not specifically address the issue of sex change or plstic surgery.

You were either BORN a female (out of the womb of a human female) or not.

Meaning of "is" is.

Sorry Jenna, just because Obama says it's OK if you wanna be a woman, don't mean it's OK in Donald's contest. If the rules say you must be natural born, then you must be natural born. Unless of course you refuse to show them your birth certificate, and participate in long running cover ups, and hire people to fabricate documents, and other such things. If you lived in the states, and claimed you were a democrat, Obama would call you up and tell you how if he had a son he'd look just like you, but since you aren't a democrat, and aren't in the US illegally, and can't vote for him, he's probably going to ignore your existence like he does republicans.
