Six cycles and three years after Nigel Barker nicknamed me "Tim"
(like, I get it — he thinks I'm too gay), "America's Next Top Model"
has announced that one of the contestants of Cycle 11 is transgender.
This, no doubt, is quite a historic move for the show, which
previously had a sort of unspoken "must be born a woman" clause.
However, from scrolling through the photographs of the Cycle 11 girls,
Isis looks just as — if not more — qualified than the rest. She's more
model-esque than most of her competitors, with long, skinny legs, and
it's clear that she's had top surgery (her boobs are bigger and
prettier than almost all of the girls' — oh my!). Plus, I'd bet my
"ANTM" earnings (OK, fine, a lot more than that) that she's got the
best walk of the bunch.
