Andrej Pejic



He is the 19-year model that has turned the fashion industry upside down.  I've posted several articles about him on TGREPORTER.com.  There a complete photo gallery posted here, and I've just now added two video interviews HERE

In an about-face when many ad campaigns dropped Lauren Foster  when she was outed, they industry seems to be embracing Andrej BECAUSE he is transgender; more so because he is androgynous and can model both male and female fashions. 

Andrej doesn't feel the need to define himself, and that unto itself is one of the main reasons he is a role model.  I've often said in many of my older articles that the words of others do not define me; they only define them.

There is no doubt that transphobia is still high, the fact that Andrej exists and is flourishing gives us hope:  the more transpeople are in the public eye the sooner  that those afraid of tans will come to understand it and thereby be less afraid, less transphobic.
