Top Model Tranny

Filed under: Gay Gay Gay > Reality Television > Tyra Banks

Talk about a publicity stunt!

The next season of America's Next Top Model will feature 14 girls competing. But, this time, there will be a twist.

One of the girls was born a boy!

Isis, who is a 22 year old former receptionist, is from Prince George's County, Maryland.

Isis says "My cards were dealt differently." Adding that she identifies herself as "a woman born physically male."

We guarantee you they'll keep her around ’til almost the end. It's about the ratings, after all.

Isis says, "I like to help people, but I'm here to follow my dreams."

GLAAD president Neil Giuliano says this marks "an unprecedented opportunity for a community that is underrepresented on television. We applaud Tyra Banks and The CW for making this historic visibility of transgender people possible."

Well, if they have a transgender, why not have males competing?

Why should the next "Top Model" always be a chick?

The new season of ANTM debuts on September 3rd.

  2. 2

    top model's definitely gone downhill.. so many publicity stunts

  3. 3

    hello

  4. 4

    She will probably win too.

  5. 5

    Team Curry!!!

  6. 6

    Is that her? or a stock photo? I am dying to see her, I bet she's prettier than all those other bitches!! Esp. Tyra!!!

  7. 7

    HOT!!!!!!!!!

  8. 8

    omg yes!!! i knew tyra would do something like this eventually. can't wait!

  9. 9

    Her photoshopped legs looks like mess! Besides that, black transgendered people are disgusting!

  10. 10

    that suxx.. they ruined top model.
    well yeahh if theyre gonna do something like that. then just add guys too..
    but then.. ughh it would be too complicated.. slutty girls.. and .. i dunno.
    dont really like that.

  11. 11

    Wow, it's a wonder boyfriend can even breathe he is so emaciated. How healthy is this? The guy needs lunch.

  12. 12

    I really wish they would make an America's Next Top Male Model show, that would be much more interesting right now than always having the females. I'm tired of Tyra. I want Make Me a Supermodel to come back on Bravo.

  13. 13

    Wow, Perez! I'd have expected something a little more enlightened from you. Perhaps because transgendered women AREN'T

  14. 14

    Wtf, she's not even a pretty transexual!
    Most transexuals are gorgeous, think Trantasia.
    or Jeffree Star, I believe if you're going to have
    a transexual on america's next top model, she ought
    to be incredibly pretty, not like this hot mess.

  15. 15

    … MEN… (sorry, my comment was posted too soon. It's what I ge)t for typing in all caps!~)

  16. 16

    22 is too old to compete for modelling. Unless its for porn! But good for her.

  17. 17

    where's his/her knees?

    weird.

  18. 18

    Those earrings are bigger than her head.

  19. 19

    tranny tran tran
    deliciously scandalous trash tv -
    amerika-fuck yeah

  20. 20

    Who's to say that they haven't already had a transgendered contestant on before this? Since she wasn't that season's token "issue girl", she probably wouldn't have needed to say anything about it. (And come on…Dominique was way more masculine than the woman in this picture.)

  21. 21

    ugh! i hate tyra
    shes soo goddamn conceited
    && shes psycho!!

  22. 22

    She's already been on Top Model. She was featured in a MSNBC special about trans folk, and she was in the episode on ANTM about homeless youth. Mr. Jay and Tyra both complimented her, and that's probably why they picked her. In the MSNBC special, she says she wants to be a model, actress, or whatever.

  23. 23

    I think she's beautiful! She's not outlandishly OMG I'M A TRANNY like (aforementioned) Jeffree Star or folks like that. She looks normal ;) She's stick thin because that is unfor. what it takes to be a TOP MODEL these days. Ratings or not - I wish her luck.

  24. 24

    Who's Tyra Banks???? I live in the UK so forgive me!

  25. 25

    The Next FLOP model

  26. Aimee says – reply to this
    26

    I'm rooting for her already. I wouldn't have even guessed that she was a he unless i'd read it here…

  27. 27

    Now will You be nice to Tyra Perez???

  28. 28

    But, this is DISGUSTING!!

  29. 29

    If i was dominique i'd be so pissed. she should have been noted for being the first transgender model!

  30. 30

    Tyra wouldn't go there if her show was still fresh,time to stick the fork in it's done. She should have done a guys one like that Make Me A Super Model show. I'll just stick with Janice Dickenson,she never fails at entertaining.

  31. 31

    I knew this was coming as soon as they let Jaslene win.

  32. 32

    Hmm… well, I agree with Perez on the statement "if they have a transgender, why not have males competing?" Letting a transgender get on the show is kind of like working the middle ground. Why NOT do both genders? By the way, in the end… ANTM is about beauty … and I gotta say… hands down to Isis… if that's her in the picture, she looks damn good. Hey - could've been a whoooole lot worse!! But I agree.. does schmell a bit like publicity.

  33. 33

    Re: homolicker – I forgive you, but I live in Denmark and I know who she is. I don't think it's got anything to do with location. :-) But to answer your question: she's the hostess with the mostess of America's Next Topmodel - plus, she was a famous model… not she's a famous retired model who has two tv-shows of her own: Tyra Banks Show and America's Next Top Model

  34. 34

    IMO, she just might win!

  35. 35

    Tyra Banks must be desperated for ratings! I don't think Armani or Versace would hire this fugly bitch to model their designs! She's a very fugly tranny!

  36. 36

    Re: PunkyBrewstein – I DON'T LIKE YOUR COMMENT, YOU ARE NOW A FUCKTARD LIKE ANDY27!

  37. 37

    So, the photo "retoucher" removed his knees AND his calves? Gross chicken legs. I hate Tyra for trying so hard. If this tranny ends up winning and I have to see him in Marc Jacobs ads or something like that, I just may have to give up on society and move into a spiderhole. Tyra is all the tranny that show needs.

  38. 38

    Re: LettyB – I'm not making remarks for your benefit

  39. 39

    yea, i have a really cute Pit Bull, too!

    they are tokenizing her
    because she is transgender
    like oh m gee, tyra
    perez is right
    she will be there ’til the end
    … hopefully she does well
    & winns
    start being awareness and understanding to the trans community
    :)
    why not have men on the show?

  41. moon says – reply to this

    ps. tyra looks like a man
    with her BIG forehead & biased feminine ways.

  42. 42

    Pretty sad that he/she/it is better looking than the real women on the show.

  43. bee85 says – reply to this
    43

    she kinda looks like one of the twins from Sister, Sister (Tia Mowry)
    what's up with photoshopping photos to make people appear non-human? ugly knees are still better than no knees.

  44. 44

    Re: PunkyBrewstein – SURE YOU DON'T!!

  45. 45

    Seriously….
    How many seasons will they have? They make one season, and when that ones over, another one's made!
    stop it tyra! ;]

  46. 46

    no womb, no ovaries, then your not a woman. not a man either, i dont know what the fuck you are. im all for people being comfortable if their own skin but i dont like how they think they can get an operation to switch sexes. if your a man then you can never be a woman. you man look and walk like a woman, but your not. your just a deformed male.

  47. 47

    Sing it with me, "I wanna be on top…"

  48. 48

    Ummm sorry babe. When you have to start marking the date of your period on a calendar you'll be a woman. No uterus, no ovaries, no woman. You lose.

  49. 49

    "Well, if they have a transgender, why not have males competing?"
    you really have something against transgender people, don't you, perez?
    this is really saddening.
    so much for "love is equal no matter what gender".

    it doesn't matter what gender someone was born as. it matters what they identify themselves as. she got the surgery, she is a FEMALE.
    that is not a step towards letting males on the show, she is just another female on the show.
    for a gay person, you really need to learn your stuff. understanding is the first step to equality. have some compassion. :/

  50. 50

    She is pretty and all, but clearly there only doing it to make people want to watch it, i mean its been on for like how many years it is getting kind of old, they needed something to spice it up to keep viewers.

  51. 51

    well that'll be exciting. I just hope she won't be kept around longer than necessary just because she's a male-born female.

  52. 52

    i woild never have guessed she looks good and good on tyra many ppl dont seem to understand the problems that transgender's face and if this is a way to get the story out goond on her and ANTM

  53. 53

    They couldn't find a prettier tranny?? I've seen prettier trannies at the mall.
