Donald Trump announced Tuesday a Canadian transgender beauty pageant contestant will be allowed back into the Miss Universe Canada contest. Jenna Talackova was thrown out last week after organizers ruled she was not a “naturally born” female. Talackova underwent gender-reassignment surgery four years ago and carries a Canadian passport, driver’s license and birth certificate that all identify her as a woman. Trump made the decision hours after Talackova spoke out publicly.

Jenna Talackova: “I am a woman. I was devastated, and I felt that excluding me for the reason that they gave was unjust. I have never asked for any special consideration. I only wanted to compete. I saw the statement by Mr. Trump’s representative that was issued yesterday, and I find it quite confusing.”
