Seems Ms. Tyra and the folks over at ANTM has included its first transgender contestant to the popular reality TV show. And just when you thought things were getting a little monotonous, they throw a monkey wrench in the mix.
The contestant, recently sat down with US Weekly in a brief interview.
"One of the 14 girls who will compete on the new season of America’s Next Top Model – which returns to The CW on September 3 – is transgender. “My cards were dealt differently,” Isis, a 22-year-old former receptionist, tells Us Weekly exclusively in its new issue, on newsstands now. Hailing from Prince George’s County, Maryland, Isis identifies herself as “a woman born physically male.”Will she be a role model? “I like to help people, but I’m here to follow my dreams,” she tells Us.The inclusion of Isis is being hailed by GLAAD president Neil Giuliano as “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,” Giuliano said.
OK so hey, what ever float your boat. But she is from my hometown... and I guess that gets her half a snap. Should make for quite the drama that's for sure

I heard of this, and I just didn't believe it! You see, I don't think the viewers of ANTM are ready for a tranny. I sure as hell am not ready for it.
EEK!
