‘Top Model’ has a transgender contestant

August 13th, 2008, 12:08 pm · 4 Comments · posted by Sam Mittelsteadt

They’ve released the names and photos of the girls vying for Cycle 7500 of “America’s Next Top Model,” and one of them is transgender (born male, identifies female). Can you guess which one from the photos after the jump?

Right-click on each photo to bring up the full-size photo in a new window or tab. I’ll just tell you: I guessed wrong. If you go in with that knowledge, there are actually a few that look a bit on the tranny side.

The answer is here.

Also up for discussion: Who’ll freak out first about sharing a house with her? I’m thinking it won’t be the go-go dancer, for sure. The show premieres Sept. 3 on The CW.

    I guessed right. Her hippie picture shows it more…

  2. Crazy H Says:

    Nikeysha does have masculine qualities about her.

  3. Crazy H Says:

    The picture of Tyra when it is just a thumbnail reminds me of Nic, the second runner up from one of the past seasons.
