"We want to redefine what beauty is," Mok told ABCNews.com in a Friday report. "You can be tall, you can be short, you can be plus size, you can be transgender; you don't have to be what the modeling industry says you have to be. That was one of Tyra's original missions."

Transgender model to help "redefine" beauty

By boldly sticking to the same old standards.

Haha, exactly.

Big tits, small mind, easy virtue, and anything to get people to look at you - yeah, a brave new departure there

Since models have often been accused of looking like tall lanky young boys (which if you look
at runway models, you'd sort of agree with, I find this soooo funny.

Look, models have high cheekbones (male trait), tall (male trait), little body fat
and generally small breasts (male trait),
shoulders large for a women (male trait), strong jawline (male trait), longer legs
in proportion (male trait)

Actually, a transgender women starts with kind of big advantage on the average women :-).

So, no, I don't see anything different here.

As for models being dumb or whatever, that's kinda of a stereotype.
If you could make 16M $ a year just on your looks, you would!
Many models actually have quite decent after career, better than
the post-career of professional athletes for sure.
