LGBT News Andreja Pejic Transitioned

Interesting article, thanks for posting. I am still relatively new to this world, but am learning that there can be a difference between the gender of the physical body one was born with, and the gender one identifies with or feels closest to. It's been quite moving to read, from time to time, the fervent wishes of some folks here, to transition. I do not have that need myself, but I like the feeling of my heart being more open, since coming to feel that all of us - lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders - are united in the sense that we present a kind of 'alternative sexuality', we are not 'the norm'. I used to worry about this, but now I like it. I don't want to be 'normal'. For me, that would feel rather boring.

 

I think that Andrej is very beautiful, regardless of whether or not what the original gender was. Who cares about the norm? Normal is boring. :lol:

 

I'm not very surprised, but am very happy for her.

 

That's great I've known about her for a fair while, always suspected.

 

Hopefully she is more comfortable now.

The only thing is, I wonder whether the modelling might dry up a bit now.

Her being androgynous/a bio male wearing women's clothes was really her "unique selling point" so to speak. Now she is a woman it might be harder to be noticed amongst all the other female models. Mind you there is still public "interest" or fascination with transpeople (whether thats right or wrong is another matter though), as seen with stars like Laverne Cox.

 

Wow, she looks just as hot as a man as she looks as a woman.

 

I'm sure she will keep getting work, shes certainly got a more unique look than many female models (For instance I've always thought Cara Delevingne is incredibly plain to look at, not unattractive at all but not particularly interesting or unique).

I think she might lose a certain sector of her work, those using the gender aspect as much as the look. Perhaps Stav Strashko will get an increase of work of the back of this/begin to dominate this market a bit?

She has a career as a model. I would have thought if there is one time you should be fine commenting on someone's physical appearance, this would be it!

 

My girlfriend called it; she had been referring to her with feminine pronouns and as Andreja for a long time now.

Anyway, I'm happy for her, and for this continued increase in trans representation in the media. =)

 

I'm proud of her, but feel a little funny, since she's the second bio male I've learned decided to transition, within a week (the first being a popular twink porn star). But yeah, I suspected ever since hearing her bring up transitioning in a prior interview, and preferring to be referred to with female pronouns.

Still jealous!

 

wow! I'm so excited for her and I hope she feels more comfortable now that she's out.

I've always admired her work.

 

She's so beautiful! I'm so happy for her.
