'America's Next Top Model' transgender contestant

I’m going to hope and pray that Isis is not the new version of Heather. I wish her all the best of luck, but if the series starts to center on her and the fact that she is transsexual – I am assuming she is a full physical female, at least in most ways – I will have some bones to pick.
Sarah, I am a former model and I do have Trisomy X. I did not know this at the time of my modeling. Most Triple-X women are never diagnosed. My sex chromosomes do not make me any less female! Imagine how ridiculous it would be to have a category entitled, “Female, Plus Additional Female Chromosome(s)” in the gender scope. “Me and my girls” are classified as female, plain and simple. Granted, the original term for the condition was “super females.”
See what I’ve done here? I’ve turned this into being all about me, and people like me. That is what Heather did in the previous season of America’s Next Top Model. That is what Isis may very well do. I hope otherwise.

That may be true for you, Prudence, but I know several people who fall into all three catagories (worked with a support group a friend belonged to). XXX is the least commonly diagnosed – and it is most commonly found when a person develops medical conditions associated with it. Most xxx look like women, and many never know – but that doesn’t mean there aren’t unusual features associated with it – and that doesn’t mean people don’t get unwanted attention from those features. The reason why I listed that one last was because it is the most “passable”, save the medical problems. The other two groups are a bit more troublesome. Most can’t reproduce in either catagory, those with X are small and usually never develop traditional feminine charactoristics, those with XXY often have gender confusion, inability to reproduce, and can be born with male and female “parts”. There are several other rare sex v gender issues that do cause problems – so yes, you were fine – so don’t make it about you.

Yes, Sarah, I am aware of all of this as all of the above applies to me. I was trying to show how making everything all about one person and the differences of one person is irritating. If Isis is continually seen as the odd girl out, or the token “different” model, this will annoy viewers. That is all I am saying.

Educate yourself, so that you can educate your family. It’s rude and animal like when someone treats you like an enemy for no reason , because they are not born perfect. We have it had enough in life trying to get jobs, and make a living for ourselves. Babies are born everyday with imperfections, and a child knows that they are different at a young age, the parents say “it’s a phase and they will grow out of it”, then freak out when they grow up and become what they have always been mentally. Listen to your kids, they know what they need.

I am transgendered also, and my friends keep tellin me to be a model for the TG community magazines and stuff like that. I soooooo want to do this in the worst way, but in this society people are sooooo damn judgemental, and I agree with one post on here……DO YOUR EFFIN HOMEWORK BEFORE YOU THINK YOU KNOW ALL ABOUT WHAT A TG PERSON IS!!!!!!

Usually I do not read article on blogs, however I would like to say that this write-up very compelled me to try and do it! Your writing taste has been surprised me. Thank you, very great post.
