Beauty queen and Vancouver resident, Jenna Talackova, was ousted from the Miss Universe Canada competition after she admitted to being born a boy. However, due to pressures from a change.org petition, the media, and GLAAD - Miss Universe Canada has agreed to let Talackova compete in May.
Executive vice president of the competition and special counsel to Donald Trump, Michael D. Cohen, said in an e-mailed statement Monday evening that the organization, "will allow Jenna Talackova to compete in the 2012 Miss Universe Canada pageant provided she meets the legal gender recognition requirements of Canada, and the standards established by other international competitions.”
Talackova and her attorney, Gloria Allred, had previously scheduled a press conference for Tuesday. Neither woman has commented since the decision was reversed, but it is expected that Talackova will address whether or not she plans to compete at the conference.
