Jenna’s BAAACK! Miss Universe to Allow Trans Contestant to Compete After All

Jenna Talackova could be the next Miss Universe Canada!

We’ve written several times about the curious case of Jenna Talackova, the trans beauty pageant contestant who was first permitted to, and then banned from competing in the Miss Universe Canada pageant.

Thousands of UB readers have fallen head over heels for Jenna along the way. Emails and comments have poured in expressing support for her and complimenting the poise and grace she has displayed while weathering an international media storm.

Today brings fantastic news for Jenna and her legion of fans. It looks like Donald Trump got my memo – Jenna has been once again permitted to compete!

VANCOUVER – Transgender beauty queen Jenna Talackova, who was kicked out of the Miss Universe Canada competition last month, will be allowed to compete after all, the organization announced Monday — if she can prove she meets Canadian “legal gender recognition requirements” and the standards of other international competitions.

Gender recognition requirements vary slightly by province in Canada and can include obtaining medical certificates and legal affidavits from doctors. Meeting standards established by other international competitions, however, could be more difficult: Rules for the Miss U.S. International competition, for example, state an entrant must be a “naturally born genetic female.”

The brief statement issued by the Miss Universe organization did not elaborate on what the requirements entail.

We reached out to Jenna this morning to offer our congratulations. Stay tuned!

Are you pleased with the pageant’s decision?

I think that this brings up interesting questions of whether contestants are allowed to use hormone enhancers.
If professional athletes are not allowed then why should beauty contestants.

They are not hormone enhancers, they are her hormones, she doesn’t create any male ones anymore, she just gets hers via other means, same as any other woman, cept they don’t have to go to the store for thiers. Think of it more like her medication so she can be “normal” Hormones don’t automatically give you huge tits and perfect everythings.

Oh gosh, someone said “No” & basic human assumptions were offended. Will we ever learn? The tranny lied to get into the competition. Case closed. Plus, a natural born woman lost her chance to be there. This tranny claims to be discriminated against but it was her lying and posing that discriminated on someone else. Next!

I think this is a great decision, although the organisers have been rather vague about the details of her continued participation. i wonder if jenna is happy to be the ‘poster girl for Trans issues worldwide?? Or does she wish to be a pageant contastant only???
Either way she has my support and i hope that she continues to reach her goals!!! Good luck Jenna!!!! Does anyone else have any thoughts regarding this???

I think she’s gorgeous & would love to get to know her!! I’m glad that she’s allowed to compete, but wonder how far she’ll be allowed to go since there are countries like the US who state that contestants must be “naturally born genetic female”. I feel that if she’s been female since birth (just born with the wrong parts), she should be allowed to compete as a naturally born female, even though she may not be genetically female.

Do you have proof that she lied?? Have you seen her application & where she lied about herself?? If not, then STFU. Why are you such a hater anyhow?? JEALOUS?? Get over it!!
