It has final happened! America’s Top Model has admitted that one of their top girls may be a transgender model. This has already provoked great interest from the main stream media and blogs across the Internet. A transgender modeling competition is nothing new, in fact tgirl models have had their own competition for many years, with the Miss International Queen beauty pageant hosting an international competition for transvestite models from around the world.
At least this time around, most media outlets are looking forward in anticipation to see how Isis fairs in the competition. The move by America’s top model has also drawn praise from the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.
Isis, who looks like an Egyptian goddess has a good chance of taking the modeling world by storm. At least, if her current ability to strut her stuff (in the video below) is any indication.
No transgender model would be complete
Without some fox bashing. Predictably, Fox news has already derided Isis with their venom filled and ignorant coverage, using inappropriate pronouns and offensive references to her anatomy.
I wish Isis the best of luck. She has taken a courageous step, and has an opportunity to represent the transgender community in a positive light to millions of viewers.

Wow, she is beautiful! I wish more male to female people had such success with looking so feminine. It’s good that you offer your tips to help!
Hopefully the media will remain positive and the coverage will open more peoples’ eyes.

I am glad to see that America’s Next Top Model wasn’t afraid of the controversy.

Awesome.
I hope she makes it far… and I hope maybe seeing her will help others realize that transpeople are PEOPLE, not monsters or freaks.

Thanks for your comments - it’s definitely a great opportunity, and nearly every comment I’ve read has had good things to say about her - even on mainstream websites and blogs.
I probably shouldn’t say this, but I will be watching AMNT with more interest to see how it goes.

This is cool and all… but isn’t she “mtf” your title and tags say “ftm model”…
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:05 pm
Sorry, only your tag says that- that title is fine.

Have not we come a long way. The next supermodel is going to be our own sister..! All the best to u Isis. Let her help the world to come out of the misconceptions about the TG people.. I am sure that her success in the fashion world as a super model will bring the respect and love we surely deserve from the society. Thanks Isis.

Ah, that’s what I meant Steve - thanks, I’ve updated the tags to say mtf instead.
