Jenna Talackova was a Miss Universe contestant in 2012 who was initially banned by Donald Trump, who owned the Miss Universe pageant because she was transgender and pageant rules required contestants be "naturally born women". After Talackova threatened a lawsuit, he relented and allowed her to compete.

Should our community be concerned about a Trump presidency based on this incident?

Humble request: I ask that we keep any discussion within the bounds of the site TOS and refrain from posts directly bashing Mr. Trump or his party.

I still think to be able to go into a high class restaurant 24//7 and raid the refrigerator is something to be admired .
