Jenna Talackova’s disqualification from Miss Universe Canada sparks fresh outrage

International outrage is growing over the disqualification of transsexual model Jenna Talackova from the finals of Miss Universe Canada.

With blond locks, long legs and delicate features, Talackova was a strong competitor in pageant but was disqualified, she says, because she used to be male, even though she made it to the finals of the contest.

The story has now flared through the British, U.S. and Canadian media in recent days, sparking online protests.

“This is discriminatory, unjust, and quite frankly disgusting,” said Oscar Dimant of Brooklyn, New York, listed as the author of the online petition at change.org.

“She is a woman and deserves to be treated as any other woman would be.”

The 23-year-old transgender model from Vancouver has accused the pageant of discrimination, and more than 30,000 supporters have now signed an online petition demanding her reinstatement.

One petition signator argued that Talackova is legally and physically a woman.

I cannot take credit for this, but another Freeper renamed her Jenna Tallia.

Life’s not fair no matter how the liberals want to make it that way.

"She" is counting on people like you to think so.

When Christian’s don’t attack. We get this.
Got to hand it to the Catholics, they tried to never let their enemies get a handle.
This is the greatest weakness of Protestantism in the modern age. Not able to stand for their cause because they have no backbone. Can’t harm a fly. Sometimes harm is the better part of Christianity.

“One petition signator argued that Talackova is legally and physically a woman.”

But not Genetically. I believe it was the great 20th century “Meatloaf” who profoundly stated...”Now don’t be sad. Cause’ two out of three ain’t bad.”

Still a dude barring divine intervention.

Are these people farging crazy, or just evil?

Just looking at those pictures gives me the creeps. How could someone stand to be in the same room with that monstrous thing?

So to be a good liberal, you have to accept trans-sex change operation people into a beauty pageant?

But, I have heard that the liberal feminists don’t like these pageants in the first place. So, can you really be a good liberal feminist, and support the right of this genetic male to be in the pageant, when you dislike the idea of the pageants in the first place?????

It’s a ‘support the lesser evil’ thing with them. Just like all the ‘conservatives’ (snicker) who are suddenly lining up to vote Romney.

Same logic. Same outcome.

Outrage is growing among whom? Liberals? The LGBT community????

Then again, we live in an era in which a boy can be in the Girl Scouts. Remember that recent case? At first, the Girl Scouts wouldn’t take him. But then, they decided that if the family and school think he’s a girl, and the family says a boy is a girl and presents himself as a girl, then he can be a girl in the Girl Scouts.

Those two degenerates would consider it something to dress and undress and play around with ... a doll, only a dollly. Sad really, this person must be a very confused human being.

“International outrage...” = A handful of fags in a few, scattered countries are having a SissyMedia slap-boy party.

Quick someone distract them with a query concerning the finer points of accessorizing shoes and handbags.
