A lot of people grow up to identify with the gender that “corresponds” with their biological sex while some people never feel comfortable with their sex and ultimately, transition. Would you have known if she didn’t tell you?

Without getting into the big debate and complex dialogue that is sex and gender categorisation, let us simply say your biological sex is not necessarily the same as the gender you identify with socially. This makes many societies VERY uncomfortable because it blurs the neat little boxes that we have come to believe constitute society.

Really, if you start to look at sex difference research critically, you begin to see that there is more diversity within the groups we call “men”or “women” than there is difference between them.

But we digress…

Super model Andreja Pejic, formally known as Andrej Pejic, has come out as transgender.

A statement emailed to The Huffington Post by GLAAD notes, Pejic “will only be modeling women’s clothing going forward and has received support from her agency, friends and family.”

Pejic, who previously made waves in the fashion industry with her androgynous look and has been featured on the covers of Elle and French Vogue, among other publications, and has walked in both men’s and women’s fashion shows, said in a statement, “To all trans youth out there, I would like to say respect yourself and be proud of who you are. All human beings deserve equal treatment no matter their gender identity or sexuality. To be perceived as what you say you are is a basic human right.”

Obviously, you all want to see this gorgeous model, so here you go.
