Jenna Talackova Biography

Jenna Talackova is a Canadian model and television personality, who gained media attention in 2012 when she successfully waged a legal battle to be allowed to compete in the Miss Universe Canada after being initially disqualified for being a trans woman.

Of Czech and Babine descent, Talackova was born and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia on October 15, 1988. She experienced gender dysphoria beginning in early childhood and began her gender transition at age 14, while attending Vancouver's Windermere Secondary School, before completing her sex reassignment surgery at 19. She initially took the name Page when she began transitioning, before changing it again to Jenna.

After previously competing in the 2010 Miss International Queen pageant for transgender and transsexual women in Thailand, Talackova registered to compete in Miss Universe Canada 2012. After she was selected as one of the Top 65 applicants who would proceed to the pageant, a person who recognized her from Miss International Queen contacted the Miss Universe Canada organizers, and the organization then disqualified Talackova on the grounds that the pageant rules required its competitors to be "naturally born" women.

Talackova subsequently contacted lawyer Gloria Allred, who took on the case and challenged the pageant organizers, including Donald Trump in his capacity as owner of the international Miss Universe organization, to reverse the decision and allow Talackova to compete.

The organization reversed its decision before the case reached the courts, with Trump's office issuing a statement that "[a]s long as she meets the standards of legal gender recognition requirements of Canada, which we understand that she does, Jenna Talackova is free to compete in the 2012 Miss Universe Canada pageant."

At the pageant on May 19, 2012, Talackova made it into the Top 12, but failed to reach the Top 5. She was, however, one of four contestants awarded the title of Miss Congeniality.

A reality show based around her life, "Brave New Girls," was filmed as Talackova moved to Toronto to pursue a modeling career. The series, to be produced by Peacock Alley Entertainment, aired on E! Canada in the 2013-14 season.

Talackova is vegan and appeared in a PETA ad campaign promoting the diet.
