The new season of America's Next Top Model will include Isis, the show's first 
transgender contestant.
"My cards were dealt differently," Isis, 22, told Us. The aspiring model is from Prince George's County, Maryland, and describes herself as "a woman born physically male."
Her historic turn as the show's first transgender contestant, though, isn't why she's getting on the Top Model runway. "I like to help people, but I'm here to follow my dreams," she said.
Yet, GLAAD leadership is still applauding her addition to this year's group of models wannabes. "We applaud Tyra Banks and The CW for making this historic visibility of transgender people possible," president Neil Giuliano said.
Will the addition of Isis change the game for transgender models on " and off the show? " Anna Dimond

winnur! pwede ring tingnan na publicity stunt ito...whaevs..winner pa rin sya.
um medyo wala pa rin ako masabi regarding sa issues about transgendered people... pero pramis im trying to keep an open mind and lagi ko basahin mga posts mo na related dun to educate myself somehow.
omigosh! when i found out about this i was really so excited! as in! am not transgender but the fact na nakasali sya is one big thing in a supposedly all-female cast reality show.. sobra! sana ako rin! hihihi!
we have to salute tyra for this and give her a big WOW. i just hope this contestant will be given a fair chance to compete. getting in i think is easy but surviving inside the house is totally hard. honestly, i cannot imagine h(im)er doing victoria secret fashion show or doing a cover "girl" shoot. but whet the heck. s(he) was given a chance by tyra and hope s(he) will bring everything to the table. likewise, i thus hope this is not just a publicity gimmick to have a successful opening season however putting h(im)er first on the chopping board!
aaassssttteeegggg!!!
goodluck sa kanya...
