America's Next Top Model cycle 11 begins airing in the US early next
month and as reported earlier this month there is going to be a
transgender contestant – Isis, age 22, a program assistant from New
York.
Now to Mama this is nothing new – there's been plenty of our
trans-sistahs working as successful models over the years. That aside,
the amount of attention it's getting concerns Mama – there's so much
debate about this child's transgender status and whether the public,
the press or even the modelling industry are ready to fully embrace
and accept a totally open transgender model.
