The latest cycle of Tyra Bank's model search show America's Next Top Model is set to feature a transgender hopeful. Check out the report via US Weekly below:

One of the 14 girls who will compete on the new season of America’s Next Top Model – which returns to The CW on September 3 – is transgender. “My cards were dealt differently,” Isis, a 22-year-old former receptionist, tells Us Weekly exclusively in its new issue, on newsstands now. Hailing from Prince George’s County, Maryland, Isis identifies herself as “a woman born physically male.”

Will she be a role model? “I like to help people, but I’m here to follow my dreams,” she tells Us.The inclusion of Isis is being hailed by GLAAD president Neil Giuliano as “an unprecedented opportunity for a community that is underrepresented on television. “We applaud Tyra Banks and The CW for making this historic visibility of transgender people possible,” Giuliano said.

I don't know if Tyra is just trying to get an Emmy or what the deal is. I always thought a Tranny would probably sneak under the radar and make it on the show (if they haven't already) but I never thought it would be announced. Speaking of which Have you seen "I Want To Work For Diddy?" The Tranny on there is a ke-ke. Well lets all hope that "Isis"' makes it top 5 so we can see what she does for the "Go-See" challenge.
