| In a historical decision that changes the beauty pageant history from now on, the Miss Universe Organization based in New York released the following official statement regarding Jenna Talackova’s participation in the Canada leg of the pageant:
NEW YORK, APRIL 2, 2012: 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.
The statement, provided by MUO President Paula Shugart and Public Relations director Brenda Mendoza was published at the Beauties of Canada website, organizers of Miss Universe Canada.
Talackova had been barred from the pageant weeks ago due to not complying with a rule set by Miss Universe which stated that only natural born females participated in the pageant.

| According to the statement "provided she meets the legal gender recognition requirements of Canada, and the standards established by other international competitions" well if Canada has a law telling that transgenders are considered to be a female then she can join the pageant but she will not win for sure! | |
