Good News: Transgendered Beauty Queen back in Miss Canada competition… maybe.

Following up on Murali’s post from last week, Jenna Talackova is (potentially) back in the Miss Canada competition:

Beauty queen Jenna Talackova, who was kicked out the Miss Universe Canada competition last month, will be allowed to compete after all, the organization announced Monday — if she can prove she meets the “legal gender recognition requirements of Canada” and other international competitions.
OK, I don’t really know what the legal gender recognition requirements of Canada are, but on the surface, it looks like good has triumphed over evil.
 
Well, maybe that’s an overstatement. We’re still talking about a competition that judges women like sacks of meat, but progress is progress, I guess.

  1. Congratulations, I suppose, to Ms. Talackova, who now will be taken as seriously for her intelligence and competencies as her fellow beauty pageant contestants.

  2. I’m now struck by an irrational desire to see her win and kiss Donald Trump on his cheek during the award ceremony.

    That would make the year.

    This year, the judged women FOR their sacks of meat… or lack thereof…
