America’s Next Top Model Goes Transgender
Nobody can ever say that America’s Next Top Model discriminates against contestants after this report.
It’s being reported that one of the 14 girls who will compete on the new season of America’s Next Top Model – which returns to The CW on September 3 – is transgender.
“My cards were dealt differently,” Isis, a 22-year-old former receptionist, tells Us Weekly exclusively in its latest issue.
Originally from Prince George’s County, Maryland, Isis identifies herself as “a woman born physically male.”
“I like to help people, but I’m here to follow my dreams,” she tells Us.
The inclusion of Isis is being hailed by GLAAD president Neil Giuliano as “an unprecedented opportunity for a community that is underrepresented on television.
“We applaud Tyra Banks and The CW for making this historic visibility of transgender people possible,” Giuliano said.
Do you find it appauling that ANTM is allowing a transgender to be on the show for all our younger generations to see???
