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 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."

last i heard, it is a beauty contest not a sex contest

or maybe it is

lol
 
I think it's a pretty stupid thing to get all upset over, but that said I dunno. It's a private org so theoretically they should be allowed to make whatever entry qualifications they want.

they are afraid of being made to look like fools for allowing a transgender man to compete and maybe win

however, you are correct, it is their ball and bat
 
I think they should just give out trophies to everyone. That way no one's feelings get hurt and everyone is a winner. Yeah!!!
