TRANSGENDER FASHION MODELS

Transgender Fashion Models

The significant media exposure received through their participation in popular television shows such as ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ or ‘America’s Next Top Model’ has greatly improved the awareness of both the issues surrounding the transgender community and the understanding of them as individuals. In fact, the latter show was one of the first to readily accept transgender competitors. As result, many of these LGBTQ individuals are also household names.
