Transgender beauty queen Jenna Talackova may have a shot at the Miss Universe Canada title after all.
The 23-year-old, who was born male, was disqualified last month as a finalist from the upcoming Miss Universe Canada pageant. However, Donald Trump's Miss Universe Organization announced on Monday that it might reverse its earlier decision and let her compete, The Associated Press reports.
The rules of the contest say entrants must be "naturally born" females. Talackova says she has lived her life as a female since age 4, began hormone therapy at 14 and changed sex at 19.
But not long after Talackova announced her plans to hold a news conference with scandal-magnet lawyer Gloria Allred on Tuesday, the Miss Universe Organization said in a statement on the Miss Universe Canada website that Talackova can compete "provided she meets the legal gender recognition requirements of Canada, and the standards established by other international competitions."

Can (s)he f… and satisfy a heterosexual man and (him)-herself ?
Sound gross? Well, this is the reality of being a complete woman weather other people believe in that, like it, don't like it, .... or so on.
Carrie Prejean gets the boot after saying a very reasonable thing like "marriage is a union between a man and a woman". A question she was asked. A set-up question from a hateful homosexual judge.
NOW, a transsexual is allowed to compete in a Woman’s International Beauty Paget!!
How twisted will people become?
Next: maybe your children will be forced to take homosexual sex education at school.
Think that’s crazy, or homophobic?
Go back 20-30 years and let me tell you that a transsexual will be allowed to complete in an International Woman’s Beauty Paget.
Is this humanitarian progress, or just P.C. aberrations that most heterosexuals don’t like and are afraid to speak up because of being labeled weak-minded or bigoted?
One who won’t or can’t protect the reality and identity of one’s own human sexuality is to me weak-minded, lame and other sick human flaws.
If a woman cuts off her clitoris does that make her any less of a woman? Such as the women in Africa who are victims of female circumcision. This perverted concept that a mutilated man is a woman is quite frankly offensive and degrading to men who are victims of genital mutilation.
That squirrel that lives on top of his head for a hair piece maybe has eaten into his brain.
He has married a beautiful woman one after the other, and allows a transsexual to compete in a WOMAN’S Beauty Paget. Seems he’s trying to be P.C. to gain popularity.
I don’t have bad feelings for transsexuals, let them do that, .. and go live a good life.
But this is awkward and queers’ the process for the “Real Beautiful Paget Women”.
Come on people, there is specifications and limitations to everything in the universe.
persons, and what is Canada going to send next year a MOUNTIE in Drag
"Whats to stop drag queens from competeing??"
And you were referring to Jenna, the trans woman from Canada.
