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.

Vanessa is a happily married 30 year old transgendered woman from Seattle. It's been a long road to acceptance for her, despite the fact that she has been crossdressing for more than 25 years. Sometimes, when she looks in the mirror she longs to see the girl that lives
within her.

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”…
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.
pls help me
Ah, that’s what I meant Steve – thanks, I’ve updated the tags to say mtf instead.
She is truly inspiring..

sick. you think its acceptable for our children to grow up thinking this is normal and that freaks should be paraded out on national tv. i hope a bunch of redneck hillbilles catch hold of it and drag it behind a pick up for a few miles…
i dunno.. All this is kinda odd .. I mean i can agree with your whole trans thing and expressing yourself.. But things like this show how mixed up our society is. Like if i was @ the mall, and i see a nice girl (my eyesight isnt very good) but it turns out that its a hetero trans… The conclusion of an incident like this will m0st likely be disasterous.
Haha, Dementia I had a funny video montage in my mind about how this could work out. Disastrous in a Seinfeld sort of way was what I imagined. Though certainly it can go wrong in a less humorous manner…
Shes incredibly gorgeous…..
Being a Trans female isnt an easy job especially in countries Africa,i.e my counntry Kenya.Im very inspired by her work and the courage shes got.Im also pursuing a modeling career and hope to be somewhere being an example to others.
I have met other Trans people on Facebook and thats kinda cool.
In any case,im so motivated and inspired.
Good day.

Marsha, thank you so much for your comment. She has indeed been an inspiration to many. By being public about who you are in your modelling career you can also be an inspiration to many transgendered people.
Hi Vanessa.
I havent been so long here since i lasted commented.
That time i had not competed for Ford Finals here in my country.
There is alot of non-acceptance these sides i come from, but all in all i was scouted with a big agency.
Luckily being a finalist i ended up having even a portfolio.
Anyone who wants to check on:http//:marshakarrine.blogspot.com
Even so, im still looking forward to an agency that is more accepting on LGBTI persons.
Regards XX
