TRANSGENDER BEAUTY CONTESTANT LOSES OUT ON MISS UNIVERSE CANADA CROWN














Jenna Talackova



After much controversy, transgender beauty pageant contestant Jenna Talackovawas last night paraded among 61 other contestants in the 2012 Miss Universe Canada pageant.

The 23-year-old ousted 50 other contestants to make it to the final 12 contestants before failing to make the final five in the glitzy pageant.26-year-old Sahar Biniaz claimed the crown and now advances to the international Miss Universe competition in December. Talackova was however one of the four contestants named Miss Congeniality.

Controversy sparked up some months ago when Talackova who underwent a sex change in the past was initially denied entry to Canada’s pageant because she was not born female. Donald Trump, who runs the Miss Universe Organization, subsequently overruled that decision last month and allowed the Vancouver, British Columbia native to compete following protests on the internet.

The 6-foot-1 blond beauty, who towered over her fellow contenders while competing in the bikini and formal wear contests, garnered most of the attention Saturday night, soliciting loud cheering and howls each time she appeared on stage.

She’s still a winner as far as I’m concerned. She won an ‘herstoric’ civil rights victory and that I think is frankly more important than anything, any victory she would win, even representing Miss Canada’, Talackova’s high profile lawyer Gloria Allred told The Associated Press.
