ModCloth’s First Transgender Model Rye Silverman Hopes to Empower a Community
Yahoo ^ | April 8, 2015 | Loel Duan

...For its #FashionTruth campaign, ModCloth is spotlighting its loyal Los Angeles-based customer Rye Silverman, a transgender writer and comedian who not only loves experimenting with style and beauty looks but also wants to inspire people who have been left out of the mainstream discourse...

...Silverman had been posting on ModCloth’s Style Gallery for years before she was picked as the new model, and she credits the company for much of her style exploration. The retro-inspired clothing company helped Silverman “define and refine her style, from figuring out what looks best on what body types, how to accessorize, what patterns and colors look cute together, and more,” Koger said in a press statement.....

Most Free Republic readers have probably never heard of this site. However, if you have teenage daughters or daughters in their early 20’s, you likely have visited. They have very cute clothes and swimwear that’s actually pretty modest.

Yesterday, a friend of mine wanted me to recommend a site that had semi-formal dresses so she could shop for her twin daughters. I immediately went to this site, only to find the picture of Rye and her transgender story.

It’s just another example of the “normalization” of the transgender lifestyle.

I will not be recommending them, and wanted to alert other FR moms out there.

He looks like a cross between Benny Hill, Buddy Holly and Rosie O’Donut. The second photo made me laugh out loud because it is just patently ludicrous. It looks like a scene out of some screwball comedy. The sad part is there are lots of leftists who would take this nut seriously.

The pop culture has enabled this, and now we are getting more of it. Insanity on speed!

"loves experimenting with style and beauty"

And fails miserably at both.

OK, seriously. I have always wondered why a large group of guys didn’t just go to one of these places, make them dress everyone up and just stand outside their store dressed this way. It could go either way. One the public would laugh and ridicule the store out of business. Or every crossdresser in the city would come out in full force to shop there. Either way it would doom the store. I think it would be a funny way to spend the afternoon. Make sure you have a great photographer and social media person to make it even more funny. Talk about bad publicity though LOL

"The sad part is there are lots of leftists who would take this nut seriously."

Not to mention corporate CEOs, presidents of universities, and most journalists. In a conflict between this person and a Freeper, who do you think the media would side with? Who would be portrayed as the weirdo?

“Why in God’s name did I look?!!”


My sentiments exactly. Liberals are weird, Apparently they do not notice anything inherently wrong with the person in the picture.

As a woman, I am not going to wear clothing recommendations from some man in a dress...especially not a dress with cats on it. Dear heavens...

What a stupid looking bastard.

I’d fall down pointing, laughing and slapping my knee.

I have to say it’s refreshing to see these comments. After going to their site yesterday and reading almost 100% positive comments about this transgender model, I started thinking no one else was seeing what I was seeing. THIS IS A GROWN MAN IN TEENAGE GIRLS’ CLOTHING! IT’S WEIRD. IT IS NOT NORMAL. It is a shining example of trying to normalize something that is broken.
