Meet Hari Nef: actor, model – and Elle’s first transgender cover girl in UK

When they decided to print special collectors’ covers for the magazine’s September issue, all about “icons of change”, the publishers of Elle knew immediately who the stars should be: the actors Kristen Stewart and Amandla Stenberg, both of whom have made headlines for their refusal to conform to traditional notions of sexuality; the singer Zayn Malik, who walked away from One Direction, the biggest pop band in the world, at the height of its fame; and the transgender model Hari Nef.

Nef’s cover is arguably the most radical of the four. It marks the first time a transgender woman has been on the cover of a major commercial British magazine. But beyond that it showcases 23-year-old Nef’s striking, singular beauty, the way in which she combines the stylish androgyny of a 60s French starlet with the heavy-lidded gaze of a silent-era movie star.

Got news for you; you still look like a boy.

I’m offended that liberals think men should both dominate men’s fashion and women’s fashion, male modeling and female modeling.
It is as if the homosexual fashion editors are admitting they don’t find real women attractive, so after years of putting women starved to look like prepubescent boys up as the standard of beauty, they are just dumping the women and putting the men up as the standards of female beauty.

There’s nothing okay about this trans-gender stuff. It dehumanizes people when the sexes are blurred.

Vogue must be green with jealousy.

Not this one!

That is not a woman - that is a mentally ill man. I’ll give him this much, though - he’s not as crazy as the people who put him on the magazine cover.

No, He’s NOT a “chick with a stick.” He’s still a guy with a dick.

[pacific_waters]

Stop with the S’he bs. He’s a he.

You still can’t change the DNA,
What that is, is a neutered gay.
