Where women transform the world

Here's a big heck yeah for Isis, giving TransAmerica a huge voice. She may not consider herself a role model, and she's not competing with an agenda, but isn't it great that girls (and guys who claim they only watch because Tyra's hot) across America will get to see what a real transgendered person is like?

We live in a country that is still quick to judge those who deal with gender identity. I never met someone open about being transgender until just a few years ago, and I learned SO MUCH from her. I'm hoping that, even though it is just TV, other people will get something from watching Isis be FIERCE.

Here's some info on Isis and her Top Model hopes: http://www.reuters.com/article/televisionNews/idUSN0243933820080903

That's awesome! I'm excited to see how the others on the show respond to her. And always stoked for a legit reason to watch ANTM. :)
Me too. Not that I've ever missed an episode anyway. :)
