Founder Rachael Bailey explains why she named the MTUK beauty contest's grand prize, SRS, after Leelah Alcorn.

20 gorgeous transgender finalists will compete tomorrow, Sept. 27th each vying for the grand prize, an all-expense paid trip to India for a sexual reassignment surgery.

The winner can also opt for a cash, but the controversy of having transgender beauty judged by external attributes, however that is weighed, and awarded by sexual reassignment surgery named after Leelah, has led to some condemning the competition.
