There is an Actual "Tranny" on ANTM This Season


At some point in, practically, every cycle of America's Next Top Model, Tyra Banks, Miss J and some of the other judges, accuse a contestant/s of either A.) looking like a tranny, drag queen, or B.) looking like a boy in a picture. (In this case they usually mean it in a good way. And sometimes they soften the blow by substituting "androgynous" for "boy.")

But this season (Cycle 11), they may have to hurl their insults with a little more tact. Because, yes, one of the hopeful models, competing, is actually transgender.

"My cards were dealt differently," Isis Tsunami, a 22-year-old former receptionist, tells Us Weekly exclusively.

And now the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) is applauding Ty Ty "for making this historic visibility of transgender people possible," which means, Ty Ty is going to be talking about it A LOT.

The new season starts September 3.


I saw this on Pazzo Kevin and DListed yesterday, but wasn't sure if it was true.
