Unbeknownst to most people, Isis and other TS girls were cast as model "extras" in a shoot focusing on homeless youth on a previous season of ANTM. This caught the eye of Tyra and other ANTM judges who commented that she was so fierce she and her TS sisters overshadowed the performance of the other girls. Hopefully this squashes rumors that they just did it for ratings, because obviously it was her talent that caught the eye of the producers of the show--not just the fact that she is transsexual. By the way, has anyone seen the ads for Kenneth Cole lately? They feature a beautiful TS woman named Nina Poon and her boyfriend in an ad that raises social awareness about transsexuals. We've been invisible for far too long and it's about time people catch up and get an education. So YES transsexual people have been and will continue to be a part of this industry, this society and this culture...always have been, just not as visible.

They showed that they are true allies to the LGBT community. Congrats to Tyra Banks and the rest of the producers of the show. They showed that they are true allies to the LGBT community.

I't really seemed like a TV show from a strange Eastern European country!

Haven't these dumb clothes hangers watched this show? The bitches DON'T win. Isis was a class act hands down compared to the catty small minded bitchy typical ANTM “soon to be sent home” girls.

She is on that show to raise awareness, not just about trans people and not just in middle America. Conciousness about trans people is needed in the gay community, too. I hear all kinds of shit talked about trans peeps and I'm sick of it. I have a really dear friend who's trans and one day my period started on my way to see her. I thought I could ask her if she had a tampon. Then I realized... Those girls are horrible little monsters, but there are a lot of gay men and lesbians out there that are just as bad. HRC too!

Any model as beautiful and poised and as alluring certainly can do the job. Damn, we gays are good! The idea is to sell clothing, specifically by a designer.

The day of the supermodel is gone - no fashion house wants to pay their star salaries anymore. You can be a gorgeous, nameless creature and make a fortune in the industry. I do, however, wish Isis would put on a few pounds - her weight might be more of a hurdle than her nethers. Don’t sell Isis short on her ability to win this competition.

The shock of the situation may have prompted them to say what they said at the pool, but their cruelty at the photo shoot was COMPLETELY uncalled for and I hope they fall on their faces. I hope Isis goes far, she takes great photos! I hope that they give her (Isis) a chance.

Isis showed more class and grace than all the other girls combined. Gender and body parts aside, Isis knows her stuff - she knows about lighting and how to pose. And her picture was better than stupid Clark's. The way Isis handled the girls and all their ignorance last night was great. Isis showed more class and grace than all the other girls combined.

Those two girls are atrocious. I'm from a very small town, and yes, some people thought that way, but not all. Being from a small town doesn't make you an ignorant, hate-filled bigot. Never allowing yourself to give a damn about anyone but yourself, your colour, your gender, or your religion makes you an ignorant, hate-filled bigot. I hope she wins. Those two girls are atrocious.

Those two redneck girls discussing how she'd be shot in their podunk town and laughing about it really pissed me off. Sad, though, Isis surely won't win, can you imagine Cover Girl with a trans spokesperson, or the Seventeen Magazine cover/spread being about a Trans? I doubt it. This was done for ratings only-she has no chance of winning. Isis was a class act last night!
