"A finalist in the Miss Galaxy beauty pageant contest has spoken out – to claim she was disqualified for being trans.

29-year-old Jossy Yendall says she was elated to find out that she had made it through to the final of the UK competition.


However, she told ITV she was shocked to be told by organisers that she had been dropped from the contest because she's not 'biologically' female."
