Trans contestant Isis on ANTM

Isisantp11  This is definitely getting me excited about America's Next Top Model again: One of the 14 models in the new season -- excuse me, new cycle-- is transgender.

Isis is a 22-year-old from Prince George's County, Maryland, who is, in her words, a woman born physically male.

"I tell my staff, 'This girl is absolutely amazing. She has to come back for America's Next Top Model,'" Banks told Isis at the semis, according to Reality TV World. "I said, 'this girl,' and my staff said, 'Tyra, there's something a little different about that girl.' So what's different about that girl?"

Check out all 14 contestants -- do you think she's got what it takes to win?

PS: Loving the presence of MTF transpeople in reality shows right now!


America's Next Top Model, Cycle 11 debuts on the CW at 8 p.m. Wednesday, September 3. Image courtesy the CW.
