Discuss Dyana's answer to: Should Transgenders compete in beauty contests?

23-year-old Miss Universe Canada finalist was disqualified from the competition after it was discovered she had undergone sexual reassignment surgery Do you think Transponders should be allowed to ...

Dyana Answered:

Those that are transgender should most definitely be able to compete in beauty contests/other events. If a person is born male and changed their gender to a female, they are a female, so that person should be able to compete in a female contest. If a person is born female and changed their gender to male, they are male, so that person should be able to compete in a male contest.

I believe that the contest should have it where the CURRENT gender of the competitor counts, not the gender in which that person was born.
