Tainted Beauty (Updated)

Earlier this month Explore Talent, which describes itself as a "premier online social network  for talented people in the entertainment industry", decided it would be a good idea to poll its membership about whether transgender people should be allowed to be models.

    Do You Think Transgender Models, like Andrej Pejic, Should be Allowed to Walk the Runway?

68 respondents mostly said yes, that transgender people should be allowed to work as models, walk the runway, and get casting calls for modeling jobs.

The fact that they even had a vote on it really sticks in my craw.  I sort of wonder if people currently working in other areas should be allowed to vote to disallow various other groups of people from working in their profession.
