Models you didn’t know are transgender women – If I asked you to define beauty, how would you do it? Is beauty in one’s physique, or does true beauty come from a deeper place? Does a person’s beauty lie in their gender, or their character, or their sexual orientation? It’s hard to answer these questions, because beauty is a highly subjective matter. What may seem attractive to some may not have an effect on others, and what may have been a standard of beauty a century ago may be non-existent in the current times.

That being said, would it change your mind if you took a look at these gorgeous models below and found out that they were all transgender women? The issue has long been debated, and we’re only now on the edge of a progressive breakthrough in our society. We’re only now beginning to understand that gender identification is far more complex than just being born with male or female genitalia. And the same is to be said about the role of beauty and gender in the fashion and entertainment industry. If a person is beautiful, does it make a difference if they’re transgender or not? If you think the answer is yes, scroll down and think again. And if you think their gender and sexual orientation has no impact on what is and what isn’t beautiful, then congratulations, you’re already ahead of the curve. Take a look at these models below, all of whom are proudly transgender women who have found success by being themselves in a world that has yet to fully understand or accept them for who they are. Kudos!
12. Nong Poy
Arguably one of the most popular names on this list is Thai model and actress, Nong Poy. Born in 1986 as Saknarin Marnyaporn, Nong Poy was aware of her mis-gendered sexuality from a very young age. As a child, Nong Poy recalls being uncomfortable in her own body, but was forced to live as a boy in order to conform to social norms and to not cause distress to her family. She was finally able to live as she felt after undergoing reassignment surgery when she was 17. Nong Poy would win both Miss Tiffany’s and Miss International Queen pageants in 2004, thereby bringing some much-needed awareness to the issue of transgenderism and the stigma that surrounded it.
