Transgender On America's Next Top Model.

Thanks for your very fast response lol.

It is cool, and a great way to set an example. Making it through to being on of the girls in the house to go through the highs and lows of modeling I think is wonderful.

It's sad that a lot of people do still hold that narrow minded view that she's not "natural" so to speak, and I only hope that the other girls in the house learn to accept her for who she is, and not what she has between her legs.

Having someone like her lead the way can only be a good thing. I too, am hoping she wins.

I totally agree with you. I could not have put it any better myself.

Showing everyone that they're being open minded and that you don't have to be that stereotypical good looking all natural girl is setting a great example for so many youngsters and teens out there.

Isis inspired me tonight. Showing that she is who she is and that she isn't scared to reach for her dreams, despite the obstacles that she knows she will be facing in the coming weeks will be an inspiration to so many.

I say Good Luck to her. She deserves to be there!

I appreciate your comment, and I respect your views.

But could you tell me why you think that a transgender shouldn't have the same opportunities as the other girls in the house? I mean, she's not trying to be a drag queen, and she is actually very beautiful.

There are some seriously lovely transgenders about, and yes, it CAN be hard to spot. When I first saw Isis, I thought she was all female. I wouldn't have guessed had they not told us.

I see what you mean saying that for some it could be a problem, but I don't get why trangenders should have to compromise. If they were forced to compromise and have their own show, then where does it stop you know? When do people start turning around and saying things like "She can't be on the show because her legs are too hairy" and stuff.

A show such as Top Model isn't, and shouldn't be about what a model has between her legs.

I hear ya mummymo and totally agree with you. Haven't seen you around in a while btw!)

The girls who are judging Isis now are going to be the ones who will end up being voted off, because their views will eventually compromise their values and what they're willing to do.

I kind of get the feeling that they feel that the show should be strictly for women who were BORN women, which is sad.

Was offline for a while cos of health reasons and haven't been strong enough to get on as much since but things are getting better as we speak!

I totally agree with you and the girls who have a problem with Isis will eventually realise that the problem is THEIR problem - not hers! xxxx

Well, Isis is a pre-op transgender, though I understand that she's had some hormone treatments so her body starts to develop, but yes, she's still technically a male.

However, I don't see why she should not be allowed the same opportunities as the other girls. She obviously made it onto the show so she has something going for her at least, and the judges were very impressed with her photos this week.

The show isn't about what a model has between her legs, and as much as I respect anyone's right to their own views, letting the thought of what Isis has between her legs color their opinion of her is something I find sad of the other models. She's already proven that she's just as good as they are.

I agree with you. Isis did extremely well with her photo shoot this week and I was highly impressed that she didn't let the other girls comments distract her or put her off in any way. It's easy for a transgender to feel "picked upon" so to speak.

I was sorry for her that some of the other girls made immature comments though. It seems even in today's world, people can't accept what is not the norm. I really hope Isis goes a long way, and I would love to see her win this competition. What a message that would send to everyone!

by the way is Isis a him or a her I was told that once you have a male reproductive organ you are a him, so how exactly do you refer to the person

Would WOMEN around the WORLD be able to RELATE to the person as a covergirl,would covergirl be willing to have him/her on their cover, would the product they are advertising sell?

These were some of the questions that the judges asked themselves, and their answer was yes. Isis is exotic looking and she is beautiful (though that's just my opinion) I think that if they had any doubts about this, Isis wouldn't have made it onto the show. And even now, I still fully believe that she's capable of winning.

As for your question regarding how she is referred to. Technically, she's still male because she hasn't had surgery to perform the change yet, though she's had the hormone treatments so that she develops a female body.

I wasn't sure whether she would be classified as a male, and so I asked my partner. He said that even when she's had the change, genetics will dictate that she is a male, because she won't have the female reproductive system, but I think she would be referred to as a "she". She will have all the outward appearance of being female, and she won't have the male organs between her legs.

Is it true that on his identification card, her gender will still be male? That's why i keep wondering if she can make it in the fashion industry, i mean the fashion industry is so brutal. I really hope he is prepare to handle everything hope she has a strong support system cause she's gonna need it.

sorry about that he she thing slip of the finger

I totally agree with you. If a person is not comfortable with what gender they are, and they feel they were born into the wrong body, then they should be able to choose whether to do anything about it or not.

They should be treated fairly and have the same opportunities as other people, but sadly, a bigoted and opinionated world won't allow that to happen. That's why I hope Isis wins the show. It would be a message of hope to other transgenders out there not to give up on their hopes and dreams.
