It is an event designed to celebrate the country's most beautiful women.

But next year's Miss Universe Singapore could be won by somebody born a man, after organizers revealed that they are considering accepting contestants who have had a sex change.

A spokesman for Derrol Stepenny Promotions, which runs the Republic's edition of the international beauty pageant, said it is waiting for instructions on the move from the parent organization.

News of the impending change drew mixed reactions from Singaporeans, with some saying that it would make the competition more relevant and others warning that transgender contestants might have an unfair advantage because they would definitely have gone under the knife.

No one is born a man, some grow into it. We are born boys or girls, and become women or men.

I agree but this is hard to grasp for "normal" people who never got in touch with this topic.

Btw, few months ago the German Miss Universe stated they would have no problem having a mtf-TS contestant to participate but they never faced this situation before. This was posted in a German internet newspaper.
