As one of the fashion industry’s increasing numbers of a transgender models, Yasmine Petty has reached great success. Her sprawling penthouse in Lower Manhattan, with a terrace so large it has a pool and cabana, is full of magazines like Elle, W and Hercules that feature multiple-page spreads on her wearing clothing by brands like Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton.

Ms. Petty’s closet, too, is full of clothes she has modeled at international events like New York Fashion Week, fashion shows put on by Italian Vogue, and Life Ball, Europe’s prestigious charity gala to support people with H.I.V. She has walked the runway with stars like Naomi Campbell and Karolina Kurkova. The prominent makeup artist Pat McGrath used her as an “ambassador.”

With the rare exceptions of the Kate Uptons, the gay men who play a major role in the industry have driven out real women so why not go full trans.

Notice the throat scarf to hide the Adam's Apple...................

I thought they had a home on internet porn? Or so I hear.

They’re trying to make his life sound glamorous. I’ll bet he’s completely miserable inside. Just because you’re a guy in a dress, doesn’t mean you can’t get aids too.

And the man hands.........

Tall skinny and hipless - but bigger breasts than female models.

I’m looking forward to codpieces for the ladies.

[Uncle Sam 911]

Nothing can hide the broad shoulders, big hands or spread legs. Mentally deranged.

Sure, keep it up. With the increasing numbers of transgenders and whatevers, they won’t be unique anymore. Oh my! No more attention! Then they’ll have to move on to something more wacko to get the attention fixes.

The story out now is that Chaz Bono and Kaitlyn Jenner are miserable and suicidal because they don’t have love lives anymore.

Are those hands actually the hand of the woman?

Or is that not a woman?

[Trillian]

That’s one of the many reasons I hate that they’re trying to promote these things. It’s not healthy mentally or physically. Who wants their friends and family to be miserable, suicidal and diseased? Democrats do..

The hands always tell.

Seinfeld made many more subtle snipes at homosexuals and trannies than many people noticed. “Not that there’s anything wrong with that” sounds affirming, but it’s really quite patronizing. And the “man hands” episode was pure gold.

I think that why it was such a hit with normal society.

[fwdude]

Bono actually complains that women don’t like her “that way.” What is she thinking?

[Alice in Wonderland]

I have a friend ... a 6'2" tall woman ... who models as both a woman and a man.

[Trillian]

In the episode, they were supposed to be her hands. In real life, they are male hands. You can tell when they cut away. It was pretty funny.
