Thus far, the reviews have been mixed. A few contestants have been
explicitly insulting, referring to leggy, lean Isis as a a
cross-dresser and a he-she, among others. "America's Next Top Model is
not going to be a drag queen," one contestant says. Luckily, others
have been far more welcoming, even reverent, calling Isis a strong
woman and a formidable modeling opponent. Contestant McKey, a boxer,
says, "In the situation that [Isis] is in, you'd think that she'd want
to hide everything, but she's open, she's forthwith, she's not gonna
hide who she is from anybody. I'm a big fighter girl and I think that
she is, like, tenfold more brave than I am."
