    This is amazing. It seems that transgendered people are making pretty rapid strides toward mainstream acceptance.

    Can wait for the religious bigots to weigh in and miscast this as "some guy who wants to dress as a girl."

    Awesome! I hate this competition, it is run by a selfish man, with to much money. I have a feeling that the judges shall be biased and make sure to get her out early.

    I'm happy for Ms. Talackova and her chance to compete, and I'm even angrier at Donald Trump, especially after he said this:

    "In fact, had I known [Talackova's lawyer] was Gloria Allred, I probably would not have reversed my decision because, you know, Gloria is easy to beat.”

    Implying, basically, that his decision arose out of no proper understanding of transgender people's situation, and he would've stuck with his idiotic decision had he known that the lawyer was so "easy to beat." UGH.

    I saw a bit about this on the news the other day. Someone said that Donald Trump did not have to prove to anyone he born a man. My first thought was "Of course not, because every one knows he's a huge dick"
