Transgender model joins hopefuls on reality series
Washington – As a little boy in the Washington suburbs, Darrell Walls liked to pretend to be Lil’ Kim or a Pink Power Ranger.
He felt different – like a girl mistakenly born a boy.
But Walls eventually embraced that difference and today is living true, as Isis King. Now 22, King is the first transgender contestant on “America’s Next Top Model,” the CW Television Network reality show hosted by supermodel Tyra Banks.
