"This is not happening!" King, who was born Darrell Walls, says when Banks introduces her to Dr. Marci Bowers, a leading gender reassignment surgeon who has experienced the surgery herself. Bowers is paying for the surgery.

Lucky, lucky girl!

Now if she can stay off of the streets...

Rule one of commercial TV.  ANYTHING for ratings.  Nothing more than that.

OK how do the rest of us get a free ride?  There are a lot of folks who would jump at that chance.  Lucky girl.  I would just like to meet Br. Bowers.

Perhaps there's going to be lots of transwomen applying to be on the Tyra Banks Show this week

That's wonderful.  Good for her!

Of course, I'm also a raging pit of jealousy now.

ROFL, I know what you mean. That world of glamour models is a rough bunch to move in.

Yes, this may be true, but it does help make up for Isis' not advancing on America's Next Top Model.

I love it... "surprise, you're getting a sex change operation!"

We're the only people on Earth that would actually be happy about such a thing.

LOL
