Ah the travails and tribulations of the modern age!
Jenna Talackova, the young 23-year-old blonde pictured above was competing in the Miss Universe Canada contest and had actually reached the finals in Vancouver when the contest's organizers found out that "she" was actually a "he' whom had undergone gender transformation surgery.
According to Denis Davila, the national director of Miss Universe Canada, Talackova claimed on her registration form she was born a female.
When Davila became suspicious,(and I'd love to know what gave the game away) he confronted Ms. Talackova and the contestant admitted she was actually born a male. She was booted out of the competition the same day.
"She feels like a real girl and she is a real girl. She didn’t expect people to question it," Davila said in an interview.
"She was hoping we could put her back in the competition, but the rules are very clear and there’s no way we can go back on it."
Talackova says she knew she was a female at the age of four and began hormone therapy ten years later. She surgically changed her gender at age 19, which must have been an interesting change of one's point of view if nothing else.
She just narrowly missed out on winning the International Queen contest in 2010.
Tell the truth, guys...would you date her?
