Andreja (formerly Andrej) has just scored a major gig as the "face" of a high-profile cosmetics company, becoming the first transgender person to achieve such a position. At only 23 she comes across in interviews as an intelligent and thoughtful young woman on the subject of transgender issues. She also happens to be ravishingly beautiful (which makes me totally jealous or would if I were 50 years younger).

While I wish Caitlyn Jenner well she has yet to establish herself as an effective advocate for TG people and not just another cohort to the insatiable Kardashian publicity machine.

I do think Andreja deserves a little credit, as she has already done a lot to raise positive awareness of transgender matters through her modelling career and having graced the covers of many international magazines even when she was still technically male.
