Miss Universe kicks Chen Lili out of China pageant

Chen Lili's not the first beauty pageant contestant to have had a little work done. And Miss Universe contest organizers for China had said it wouldn't disqualify her, but now they've changed their minds. Lili, a 24-year-old from Sichuan Province, was called an artificial woman in a fax from pageant officials because she is transgender. Cao Gang, a beauty contest expert in Shanghai, offered his support to Lili: "She has been granted the status as a woman, and is protected and recognized by law. There is no reason to kick her out." Plus she's really cute.
