It seems a very lovely woman, named Jenna Talackova, who was born male and has gone through reassignment surgery, was expelled from the Miss Universe Canada contest. You can read about it at Yahoo news.
My thoughts are that if there was no rule requiring that contestants be born female before she entered, then that is wrong. If there was, then she should not have entered. I don't condone such a rule, but entering under false pretenses of any kind is not right. Also, if they did expel her without a pre-existing rule, then these people are the worst kind of bigots, hypocritical ones hiding behind "The Establishment."
I don't really like beauty pageants as they are commonly done. They epitomize many of the things I think are wrong about how our western society views women.
