Jenna Talackova’s Disqualification
“Talackova was disqualified from the Miss Universe Canada contest last week after it was discovered she was born male.”
-Pageant Assistant Isabel Perez
“Perez said Miss Universe staff found information on Facebook that proved Talackova “lied” on her application form by stating that she was a “natural born” female.”
“I regard myself as a woman, with a history.”
-Jenna Talackova
“Disqualified for being born? Really? I don’t think so. I’m not going to just let them disqualify me over discrimination.”

Lots of people think that to be “truly” transgender is to get surgery, take hormones, and dress in a certain way.
The truth is, some transgender people go through life not getting surgery or hormones; those are both huge medical decisions, and some people feel comfortable without getting any alterations, whereas some people feel as if they need surgery to be comfortable and complete, and that’s okay. And that doesn’t make them less trans*.
