In your face Donald Trump! Jenna Talackova is a model who made headlines after she was abruptly disqualified from Miss Universe Canada after it was revealed that she'd been born male.

Since then, she's enjoyed a long string of achievements that includes getting the Miss Universe Organization to change its trans-phobic rules. Her latest victory includes an absolutely stunning spread in the January issue of Elle Canada.


Talackova is also in the process of filming a reality show titled Brave New Girls, which will follow her as she pursues her dreams of becoming an actress and model. If anything, her story gives hopes to other transgender women that they shouldn't stop trying to live out the pageant queen's dream.
