Will be very interesting to see the results of this contest. I don't usually watch beauty pageants but this is history in the making!

Thanks for the link, the comments that answered the article really illustrate the terrible ignorance we have in the world

She is beautiful. We are all there in our own ways. Carry that beauty if you can.

Amanda

I'm getting to the point where whenever i see a link to an article I instantly associate it with a comments section drenched in hate. Will people ever get a life?

I hope she does very well. She deserves it and it would be a big "in your face!" to all the haters out there!

[Guest amanda_s]

I Hope she wins that would be great.

I Hope she wins that would be great.

Amanda

Yes it would, and then there would be those that would claim she won on the publicity of her personal story. She is beautiful, I hope beauty wins.

Hi Amanda,

I saw that comment in the National Post and I wondered if it was someone from Laura's! Good for you---there were some really immature comments on there. This is the latest update on the pageant. Jenna made it to # 12--there are some photos with the link as well as a little info on her story: http://www.thestar.com/news/article/1181401--transgendered-contestant-jenna-talackova-cracks-top-12-at-miss-universe-canada-pageant?bn=1

Since this one is from the Toronto Star, there are no comments there---that's a good thing because when people can post anonymously they usually behave like idiots.

i think that there is alot of ignnorance towards us ,i am tired of it. Had one woman complain about my gramour. i just passed english in school and it was 26 years ago. i wrote in one guys post that if you call jenna a it thing or what ever you should call your self that first shes a human being. she didn't win but has made us all very visible and that we face so much discrimination.
