The Miss Universe Canada organizers concede Jenna Talackova is a \u201creal girl,\u201d but that doesn\u2019t mean they will let her in their beauty pageant.<\/p>\n

Talackova, a native of Vancouver, will not be competing in this year\u2019s Miss Universe Canada pageant because she was born a male.<\/p>\n

According to Denis Davila, national director of Miss Universe Canada, the rules set by the Miss Universe franchise state that each contestant must be a \u201cnaturally born female.\u201d According to Davila, Talackova claimed on her registration form she was born a female. He said he suspected otherwise and asked her about it on March 13, when she admitted she was not. She was pulled from the contest that day.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe feels like a real girl and she is a real girl. She didn\u2019t expect people to question it,\u201d Davila said.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was hoping we could put her back in the competition, but the rules are very clear and there\u2019s no way we can go back on it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Talackova could not be reached for comment.\u00a0 Read More <\/a><\/p>\n
