From ICTMN:
It’s official: The Miss Universe pageant has decreed that transgender women can compete.
Moreover, Jenna Talackova has announced, via her appearance on The View, that she will do so. She had not said previously that a global rule change would woo her back into the contest.
After fighting to get back into the Miss Universe Canada competition following her disqualification, transgender woman and First Nation member Jenna Talackova has won a victory for all gender-reassigned females: She has convinced pageant owner Donald Trump to revise the rules of the international contest to allow transgender women to compete.
