I guess the Miss Universe pageant will be instating a new rule for next year’s finalists: Must be a natural born…woman. Jenna Talackova, an undeniably attractive Canadian contestant, was disqualified last week for reasons that she was quicker to admit than they were: She was born a male.
In fact, she finished gender reassignment just four years ago, and you have to admit she’s made excellent progress in her time as a woman. Heck, I’ve been a female for 25 years and I’m not a contender for Miss Universe. Not even close. And while this turn of events doesn’t surprise me — the Miss Universe pageant is owned by Mr. “Show Me The Birth Certificate” himself, Donald Trump — it is sort of disappointing. Jenna’s hot, and represents a largely unheard voice in the world. For now she’s down, but not out. Although she laments being “disqualified for being born,” on her Twitter account, Talackova says she’s “not going to just let them disqualify [her] over discrimination.” [via thedailywhat]
Is this a new frontier in terms of equality? Or is it called the “Miss” Universe pageant for a reason?

Wow, she’s really pretty.
guest
She is a woman, she shouldn’t have been disqualified, end of. How awful.
guest
thats awful!
guest
I like that Canada put her up to begin with =] I don’t get why it would matter, a lot of contestants are plastic always, what difference does it make? That’s so sad!

@Cho_0705@xanga - i totally agree! fake boobs are a-ok, but the choice to be a woman — why that’s just unnatural! *eyeroll*
guest
She’s a woman, she have all the right to contest.
guest
It is awesome that she would have been able to represent Canada. If it isn’t in the rules that you have to be born with XX chromosomes, then I don’t think they should be able to disqualify her. Legally, she is a woman. If they are going to disqualify her for having XY chromosomes, will they test every contestant from now on after they change the rules because that would be the only way to disqualify someone with discriminating against people.
guest
In order to remain consistent they would have to test all women for XY chromosomes. Some of the world’s most attractive women are born XY.
guest
Wow, she’s stunning.

A Miss Universe must be 100% prime cut USDA approved woman. It’s like the President of the United States. She had to be born there to be eligible.
guest
Total bullshit. But hey, it’s owned by the tool in a massively awful toupe, what do we expect? Should he be disqualified from certain activities and venues because his hair is fake? I mean, if we’re going to draw the line and not let HER cross it, what other lines should we be drawing? Fake is fake, right? *eye roll* Hypocrisy just never gets old for some people.
By the way, she is HOT. She is way more attractive and feminine than a lot of “born women” I see walking around. She obviously owns it, I don’t see what the problem is. And as some commenters have already mentioned, where do we draw the “fakeness” line? We all know Miss Universe doesn’t have a problem with nose jobs or fake boobs…
guest
Ironic that a man owns and runs this event.
guest
Wow, so sad. She is beautiful, though. Maybe we should just do away with these beauty contests. However, I don’t believe she should have been disqualified considering the rules didn’t specify that only natural-born females could contend. They can amend the rules to reflect the change for future contests, but I think she should have been allowed to participate.
guest
She’s really pretty though! Oh well… Those pagents (imo) are just a bunch of shit… Its sad that THATS why she got disqualified.. Notice how I am saying SHE… Because SHE is a women, just because she was born a man…. So what?
guest
I would kill for her legs. Not fair!
guest
There is a petition going around regarding her case: http://www.change.org/petitions/miss-universe-canada-donald-trump-reverse-the-unfair-disqualification-of-jenna-talackova
guest
She can’t help that she was born a male. What should matter is, what she chooses to be NOW. If she can carry out her role as a woman/female contestant, I personally don’t see any issues.
@Cho_0705@xanga - Right? Lol.
guest
she got disqualified because she “lied” on the application form
application form seeks for a “natural born woman” which she’s not
guest
Fuckers.. she totally should have been able to win!
guest
Yes its Miss Universe for a reason…but it doesn’t matter because she IS a “miss” -_-

She’s a woman. This is plain old bigotry, nothing less.
guest
she looks like the hong kong actress, niki chow. she’s prettier and more youthful looking than some of the other natural born women. pipa middleton for example lolz

So apparently, America still can’t pull this over our heads and get over it =.=’
Where is the love!

People are so stupid. He was born a man. Just because he decides to look like a woman, doesn’t make him a woman. If I feel like I’m a bird, does that mean I am one?

Damn, she’s GORGEOUS.
guest
Well….. I mean it’s called “Miss”…..
guest
Wow, she’s beautiful.

I think it was fair. The rules are very strict for those pageants (I know because I almost was in one). & just because you get a sex change doesn’t mean you’re not still a man it just makes you a man with a vagina.

Are you a woman because pink is your favorite color and baking your favorite hobby? Are you a woman because you can’t imagine life without dresses? Are you a woman because you have big boobs, a round butt, and an hourglass figure? Sorry, I don’t think any of those things makes a woman a woman. The fact of the matter is, your chromosomes are what determine your sex, not your interests, your looks, or your career. Modern medicine lets people carve themselves into all sorts of strange shapes, but you can’t stop being a man or a woman (though natural intersex is a more complicated matter), just like you can’t stop being a human.
guest
@Celtic_haven@xanga - If you got corrective surgery to be a bird and could fly then yes, you are a bird.
chirp chirp chirp motherf*cker.

it’s really not a matter of equality lol get over yourselves people. you also have to be a naturally AMERICAN SOIL born American to run for the President of United States. My parents migrated to the States when i was only a 6 month old infant. I would love to run for president one day but too bad I can’t. lol. it’s LIFE. get over it.
and is Miss Universe contest a private org? if so, then they can have whatever rules they want technically. if one of the rules says naturally born woman than so be it. sucks for her cuz she is really pretty but lifes sometimes not fair.
guest
Does it matter if she was born male? She’s female now, and that should count for something. I think it’s amazing that she made it into the contest and she should have a chance.
guest
@DoRi_dOrI@xanga - Thank you. I was beginning to think everyone had become dumbasses.
Miss Universe has the rule that their contestants must be “naturally born female” – she wasn’t and she lied about it. It’s not discrimination. She broke their rule.
guest
She is absolutely beautiful!
guest
It’s not fair, though. Guys don’t get cellulite or varicose veins like women, they have smaller hips and they lose weight faster with the same workout because muscle mass is different for guys.
Its not fair because some guys are prettier than any girl could ever be.
guest
@soulfuric - lol. I was going to bring that up because I had a supermodel friend who is intersex. A lot of supermodels are, which is weird because we’re looking at magazines wishing to look like girls who aren’t 100 percent female, but we’d never know that.
guest
She is so pretty!
guest
Wow I would of never of thought he was a man by looking at her! Wow!
guest
@Celtic_haven@xanga - I actually agree with you. And I bet if this person looked like a man still and wasnt pretty then people would be freaking out and taking the other side on it.
guest
eh, i don’t know. The lady I nanny for was Miss Texas, then Miss USA and runner up in Miss Universe, though.
guest
If she’s a woman now, then I don’t see why it should matter what gender she was born as. This is plain discrimination. It’s not like she’s merely a man dressing up as a woman. She has gone through legitimate gender transforming surgeries. I hope she gets reinstated into the competition.
guest
1) nobody should be judged for their “past”
2) that is fabulous work. cant even see the weewee and…
3) donald trump??? are the pictures of donald trumps daughter ivana or ivanka trump??? if so, thats hilarious. it really kind of looks like her. got reminded when the article stated donald trump owned the pageant.
than again, of all places a beauty pageant??? where physical appearance is number one. its not everything but thats what beauty pageants are based upon. she still looks great though.
guest
@anotherdreamwasted_onyou@xanga - She is a MALE. Read it again. If you are born a male, YOU ARE MALE. WTF? Why is this so difficult for you libtards to understand?
guest
@Xbeautifully_broken_downX@xanga - You mean ‘HE’ is so pretty. Get it right.
guest
@pHdDaNcEr@xanga - Hark! Intelligence speaks!
guest
@DoRi_dOrI@xanga - You cannot run for President because you were not naturally-born in the USA. Neither was your current President. So much for your rules down there south of our border.
guest
What next? You damn feminazis going to demand fags be allowed to enter the Miss Universe contest? Gott Im Himmel!
guest
@LegionOfLucifer@xanga - I meant what I said. BAD TROLL. BAD. VERY, VERY, BAD.
TROLOLOLOLOLOL

@Xbeautifully_broken_downX@xanga - Go away. I do not respond to the ‘troll’ claptrap. If you cannot come up with an intelligent response, then see fit to remain silent.

She is beautiful.

@LegionOfLucifer@xanga - MOAR TROLLING PLS.

This is proof that plastic surgery can do anything. I could not tell it was a guy, but now…if I see anyone who looks as good as her in an almost impossible way, I would say…’it’s too good to be true!’
guest
@Celtic_haven@xanga - oo ooo ~ Can you bet plastic surgery to flap your arms and fly?
guest
he’s not a woman, he’s a man. he was a born a man. a chicken is not born a chicken and one day decides that it is a snake instead.
guest
Because no other woman has ever had any kind of surgical alterations….

She’s so beautiful!

Some men can’t handle being attracted to other “men”. The insecurity at such a thought is why she would never be accepted.
guest
@immoral_sensei@xanga -
Yes, I do. My country’s Charter of Rights And Freedoms allows me to dislike them. It is a personal preference. Yes, yes, I know. To all the pissant liberals of this world, it is ‘wrong’. I say fuck ‘em.
guest
@xxwatchitxx@xanga - Yet another intelligent post. Wonderful. Not everyone is a dumbfuck liberal.
guest
@nachstenliebe@xanga - There is no ‘insecurity’ about it. It is sick. I love it when liberals like yourself call it ‘insecurity’ when a male dislikes the thought of males being attracted to other males. Such men know it is UNNATURAL, which is why they react in such disgust, and rightfully so.
guest
@SexyTall@xanga - To a liberal, there is no such thing. Get it through your head. They are nutcases. It is why our world is so fucked up.
guest
@fitforlife21@xanga - It’s not ‘discrimination’ when their rules CLEARLY state the contestant must have been born female. Bloody liberals.
guest
@LegionOfLucifer@xanga - It is not wrong to dislike them I am just wondering if there is an underline reason you to dislike them for.
Most of the gay people I know are cool, there are a few that get on my nerves but that is just like people as a whole. Some I like some I do not.
guest
@immoral_sensei@xanga - They are unnatural. Their needs and desires are sick. I have never spoken to fags in my entire life, and I have no intention of ever doing so. I have spoken to a lesbian, but only once. I never bothered with her again. Fags and dykes need to stay the fuck away from me.
guest
@LegionOfLucifer@xanga - lol ok.
guest
@LegionOfLucifer@xanga - I’m not liberal in the least bit. I’m a “conservative”. Just because it’s a rule doesn’t mean it’s still not discrimination. The rule itself is discrimination. If the organization wants it that way, then they are free to make it that way, but it’s still unfair. If there was a constitutional amendment that says “we can kill anybody who’s not white”, it would still be discrimination to kill someone who isn’t white. Just because there’s a “rule” for it doesn’t make it right. Bloody pussies who suck authority’s d***s. lol
guest
@fitforlife21@xanga - How is it discrimination? The event is for FEMALES. The fucker up there is NOT female. You are now to suggest that the Miss Universe pageants start allowing males to enter? It is liberals like you who want to fuck up this world. We have rules for a reason.
It is that ‘authority’ that allows you to live, sweetiepie. You seem to love anarchism, which is another word for CHAOS. As I am a fascist, my ideology seeks to rid this world of people like yourself. It is people like you who run around screaming ‘just because the sign on the door says ‘Men’ does not mean I cannot take a dump in that washroom! It is ‘DISCRIMINATORY!’.
Fucking anarchists.
guest
Korea is sexayyyy! Anyway, oh my gosh is that the hottest man turned women I’ve ever seen.
guest
@LegionOfLucifer@xanga - I’m not a liberal or an anarchist. You shouldn’t say incorrect things about someone you don’t. It’s very ignorant and makes your arguments less credible, especially when you keep on ranting on everyone’s comments like an angry troll.
