Six cycles and three years after Nigel Barker nicknamed me “Tim” (like, I get it – he thinks I’m too gay), “America’s Next Top Model” has announced that one of the contestants of Cycle 11 is transgender. This, no doubt, is quite a historic move for the show, which previously had a sort of unspoken “must be born a woman” clause. However, from scrolling through the photographs of the Cycle 11 girls, Isis looks just as – if not more – qualified than the rest. She’s more model-esque than most of her competitors, with long, skinny legs, and it’s clear that she’s had top surgery (her boobs are bigger and prettier than almost all of the girls’ – oh my!). Plus, I’d bet my “ANTM” earnings (OK, fine, a lot more than that) that she’s got the best walk of the bunch.
