The popular "Project Runway" contestant who appeared on the show as a gay man and is now living as a woman is speaking in depth about her ongoing transition.

Nong Ariyaphon Southiphong, who starred in the eighth season of the hit Lifetime series as Andy South, tells Logo, "What people don't know is that I actually started my transition before 'Project Runway,' [and] I had stopped right before I went to New York...it just would've complicated a lot of things."

She also noted: "What I realized in the past two years, after being on television, was that I was still missing something, and that was really living in the body I wanted."
