America's Next Top Model (ANTM) has a new twist for next season: a transgendered model will be a contestant.
Isis, a 22-year old, describes herself as "a woman born physically male."
According to Zap2It.com:
Isis, who shares a name with the ancient Egyptian goddess, doesn't necessarily see herself as a role model for transgender people though.
"I like to help people, but I'm here to follow my dreams," she says.
Hailing from Prince George's County, Maryland, the former receptionist currently lives in New York City and works as a program assistant at a non-profit organization.
ANTM returns to the CW on Septemer 3, 2008 for a 2-hour season premiere.
