Fair enough on the wife; I can't see anything positive coming out of having pictures of other women on your account (even if they were born male). I'm glad to see something like this, though. Transgender people should have the same rights and privileges as anyone else. If no one said she was born male, would anyone even know? I just hope it doesn't become an issue for when it comes time to judge her as a contestant. I hope she wins; it would really be quite the statement for transgendered people everywhere!
I'm technically trans myself, so perhaps I'm a bit biased...
