Dishonest: Pageant organizers are standing by their decision to kick
Jenna Talackova out of the competition because she lied saying she was
naturally born a female on the application
Pageant organizers deny charges of discrimination and say that the
reason why a male-to-female transgender contestant could not compete because
she lied on her application.
The Miss Universe Canada organizers threw out Jenna Talackova when they
found out she had undergone surgery to become a woman.
'She was dishonest,' said Denis Davila, the director of Miss Universe
Canada.
The transgendered contestant had already successfully reached the finals
in the Miss Vancouver pageant before she was banned from continuing in the
competition.
After becoming suspicious, Mr Davila questioned Ms Talackova, 23, who
said that, even though she written on her application that she had been born a
female, that was not the case.
'We have to have the facts straight. There is no discrimination here at
all,' Mr Davila said.
'You can look at it the way she wants to look at it, but we all have to
follow the same rules.'
Following her expulsion from the competition, organizers have faced much
criticism with many fans saying that they were blatantly discriminatory.
Over 20,000 people have signed a virtual petition on Change.org calling
for organizers to reverse their decision.
They responded describing Ms Talackova as a ‘real girl’ they
disqualified her arguing that the rules state that each contestant must be a
‘naturally born female.
