Jenna Talackova was thrown out when pageant organizers discovered she had surgery to become a woman. However, Miss Universe authorities seem to have a change of mind after she was now allowed to enter the pageant.

Officials have denied allegations of discrimination after Jenna Talackova was kicked out of the pageant. They defended that the contestant was dismissed because she lied in her application form. She didn't state that she was a male to female transgender.

Winds seem to change as officials behind Miss Universe Canada has now lifted the dismissal and allowed Talackova to compete.

"The Miss Universe 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," executive president and special counsel to Donald Trump, Michael Cohen wrote in an email forwarded to ABC.

Jenna Talackova has already reached up until the finals of the Miss Vancouver pageant before she was pulled out from the competition.

"We have to have the facts straight. There is no discrimination here at all. You can look at it the way she wants to look at it, but we all have to follow the same rules," pageant director Denis Davila said in defense to their previous decision to expel Talackova.

Organizers of the competition faced much criticism after she was kicked out of the competition. There were over 20,000 people who signed in a virtual petition to alter the organizer's decisions, even saying that it was blatant display of discrimination.

In a YouTube interview, Talackova said that she knew she was female at the age of four and thus began hormone therapy ten years later.

In the Miss Universe Canada website, there were only two requirements needed to be able to join the pageant, bearing Canadian citizenship and must be between 18 to 27 years old. There was nothing mentioned about sexual reassignment surgery.
