Screw him then. I don't care how well he thinks he knows fashion, no on "lets" me do anything. Trans models can be just as beautiful and represent the appearance of clothing as well as cismodels.

OK, really how can you tell? Most models are so skinny that they haven't got the curves of normal size women anyway. The only ones that are normal size women are plus size models that the fashion idustry calls in a round about way fat, even though I can't see them as fat. Most transwomen have more curves than the supermodels like Kate Moss and Milla Jevovich.

That is slightly ironic considering so many models are hired because they look like prepubescent boys...
