Transgender Models

She is very pretty.

Mostly, good.

"... others who want to be a transsexual".... What a question. Does anyone WANT to be one?

She's a very lucky girl! Having a physique that allows her to be a model, and not starting therapy or anything until her 20s.

Thanks for sharing this.

Choice...

...I just love the crick in my neck from scrunching down to avoid hitting my head on the too-low ceiling of this closet in which I dwell, while being alternately fearful and guilty about my feelings of this life in which I share with several of you folks out there. Like we all got up when we turned five and said, "I WANT to be a transsexual!"

Oh yeah, and while you're at it, God, please make my choice occur too late to stop those pesky biochemicals and enzymes and such that will serve to make me look like a very plain and large-handed girl!

"Want to be a..."

That question also leapt out at me, and it showed a fundamental misunderstanding. Warning: egg-sucking lessons!

One does not become TS by starting a transition. One just IS, regardless of body shape and clothing. Would the reporter have asked about 'other people who want to be gay"?

Temper any envy with a reality

It is more than likely she has had all sorts of plastic surgery unless she started very very young. Even then though I would not put it past her having silicone injections and such.

This is Brazil after all, they LOVE their plastic surgeries so I am not surprised at how beautiful a Brazilian transgirl can turn out.

Surgery

I noted that, and her breasts do seem a little...round. The point that struck me was her memory of people commenting on a 'beautiful daughter' when she was a child, and I am wondering if there is something else there, such as AIS.
