*Walter ("Jenna") Talackova: Canadian male model and TV personality of Czech/First Nations background who experienced gender confusion early on and underwent surgical mutilation at age 19 to facilitate his delusion. Talackova tried to deceive organizers of the Miss Universe Canada pageant to enter the 2012 version of the event by claiming to be a "woman", but he was denied entry into the pageant (which is reserved for women only, specifically stating in its rules that only natural-born women are qualified to enter) when he was discovered to really be a man. He then contacted liberal [[feminism|feminist]] attorney Gloria Allred, who forced the Miss Universe organization to cave in to liberal [[bullying]], [[political correctness]] and the LGBT agenda and allowed Talackova to enter the pageant. He did not get far in the pageant however, as he failed to make the final five contestants.<ref>[http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/transgender-contestant-falls-short-at-miss-universe-canada-1.1188866 "Transgender" contestant falls short at Miss Universe Canada]</ref>
