We usually don’t watch the Tyra Banks hosted reality show America’s Next Top Model but now we may have a new reason. Yes, us not watching something supergay, catty and dramatic, might surprise you but we liek to remain slightly mysterious. Anyway, the next season of America’s Next Top Model will feature 14 girls competing but one of those girls used to be a boy.

Isis (she’s just too fabulous for a last name), who is a 22 year old former receptionist, is from Prince George’s County, Maryland (MD represent!). She tells Us Magazine “My cards were dealt differently.” Adding that she identifies herself as “a woman born physically male.” Thank you for the lesson in what a transgenered person is Us.

Anyway, we plan on tuning in because even if Isis is a piss poor model, you know they’ll keep her around till the end because it’ll make good tv and you know they’ll be at least a few utterances of “Oh now she did not!”

But in all seriousness, trans visibility is great for the community as a whole. 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.”

“I like to help people, but I’m here to follow my dreams,” Isis tells Us. Still we’ll watch for the potential ensuing train wreck this is destined to be. If you’re interested, the new season of ANTM debuts on September 3rd.
