... 0_0 ... ShizNO, man. Can you believe some of these comment already?
Let me say first of all that Isis is a very brave, beautiful and woman. I am very happy for her, I hope she gets it!
Now, I'd like to move on to the fun stuff: First of all, "hippyhater"?? Your name says it all, you really didn't need to comment and open yourself to me. Every woman who reads your comment might automatically feel angered by you statement. Am I to assume by what you said that to be a girl is to be insecure? Thank you so very much, I never knew that boobs and no dick was the reason for my being so shy and nervous. Suck it.
And, catherine... my dear girl... SOMEbody wants to be a man, don't they? And not only that but a gay man. You wanna be a gay man so that you can walk better! Sheesh, jealous much? And don't worry, Isis doesn't consider herself a transsexual either. It's transgender, get the terminology right, hick.

Work out Lee for that comment! And work out isis for being a brave woman and going up there on national tv as an out transgender woman! I saw the season premiere and those bitches was hating cuz isis served it fiercely at the photoshoot.

As the other supporters have said, Isis is so brave. She knew her stuff wayy better than any of the other girls. She knows how to pose and walk and present herself in such an amazing manner. She completely deserves to be on the show. It's a show for female model hopefuls, and Isis just happens to be a female in every aspect besides the fact that she hasn't had an opporation yet. If she had it, THEN would people stop making a HUGE fuss over her being on the show? YEAH, probably.I think she's awesome.

this is a disgrace to women! this is a man! this show is for women only to compete not a transexual! this is wrong! i cant believe tyra let something like this! is tyra gay??? because she was flirting with janet jackson on the tyra abnks show. andshe never been marriedn and has no kids! also in a lot of episodes alot of the girls have to get naked that is wrong seriously this is a huge disgrace for all

After looking at the photos of Isis and the other girls after week one, in truth, some of the women look more masculine than she did. I mean all the contestants tend to look like boys with boobs so it seems to me that Isis stands as good a chance as any of the others to win! And the name of the show is America's Next Top Model...it doesn't specify that it is only for women! Further, if I understand correctly, Isis was spotted and asked to audition as a result of participating in last season's homelessness photo shoot. So give her a break already. If she is not meant to win...she'll get voted off but don't hate on someone just because they have the courage to follow their dreams.

I think Isis should be commended for having the desire to pursue her dreams. Honestly, I thought she did fantastic in the season opener. Anyone who feels like she shouldn't be allowed to compete is a hater. Would those same people also say that a woman who excels at sports shouldn't be allowed to play with & against men as long as she can hold her own?

Good for her! It's about time that transgender people are given equal opportunities in a world that tends to view things only in black and white.
To all those who oppose it, open your eyes, diversity (racial, sexual, gender, etc.) is everywhere. Embrace it and just love each other.

WHAT A JOKE! EITHER ANTM IS FEMALE ONLY OR IT ISN'T! ISIS HAS A PENIS. HOW CAN HE BE ALLOWED TO ENTER!! WHAT A FREAKING JOKE. NEXT CYCLE A MALE MODEL SHOULD APPLY AND SUE THEM FOR NOT ALLOWING HIM

She IS female. People that don't know what transgender people go trough, obviously are ignorant to post hate comments.
A transexual person has the mind of the opposite gender, but unfortunately was born in the wrong body. Even months [ probably years ] before they submit to this surgery, they know what they will go trough.
Society will push them aside and avoid them, HATE on them just because they did what their hearts told them, call them faggots, and other horrible names.
Transgender people are probably a thousand times stronger and braver than any of the people posting hateful comments.
She is a girl. She's what she's always wanted to be, and that's final. It's not her fault she was born male, so I suggest, the haters stop acting like it is.
You don't know what it's like. It's because of people like you they live in constant fear of being ridiculized for all to see, of being reminded of the gender they DID NOT CHOOSE for themselves.
To just see her standing there in public, head up high, knowing she's being used as a publicity stunt, makes me think: It doesn't matter. The world is seeing her, and she is DAMN proud of what she has achieved, just believing in herself !

I think it's disgusting. He is a HE! Definitely not a she. I'm a she..Tyra is a she..Polina is a she.., the Jay's are He's...so is isis. It's not "brave" to prance around in mini skirts and bikinis when your a man. Be brave for real and be a real man. It shouldn't even be in his mind that he wants to be a she, I was born a she, and I sure as hell didn't think twice about it. That's just what life is. Get over it.
It's not Isis' fault that she was born with male genitalia but "wired" as a female. It's just how she developed as a fetus. I say she has every right to be in ANTM. She is female who was simply born with mismatching genitalia. Good luck Isis!

Wow!! What ignorance.. This is about Modeling...I just cant get over the Ignorance in this country.. We are all equal and bleed the same at the end of the day.. Just think before you speak people..Hopefully youre not this ignorant at voting for our next president.. Isis is a beautiful PERSON and deserves to win fairly against the other models.. I think its just that in the judges eyes a competition and the best model winning..

Oh and too the women on here that are so hateful..Go and look in the mirror you cant possibly be happy with what is looking back at you to make such comments..Do something about it go to the damn gym or run around the block instead of making such hatefull and rude comments.. Be a lady.. Have some class.. You shouldnt be saying things like that about anyone.. Dont hate her because she is beautiful and has a shot a becoming something you can only dream about.. Get off youre ass and do something about it if youre not happy with who you are..MAY THE BEST MODEL WIN..

I think that Isis is awesome. She totally rocked it. And I'm so happy that one of the hater girls goes home after she tries to mess with Isis's photo shoot. Ugh! That annoying brat.
Shule has the right idea but I feel the need to clarify some things.
Gender is how a person identifies with himself or herself.
Sex is associated with the genitalia a person has.
Isis's gender is female, even though her sex doesn't currently match her gender.
That is why right now she is a transgender. She is not a drag queen. Drag queens are both straight and gay. Dressing in drag is not based on a person's sexuality (which refers to the gender or sex that a person prefers in a partner). And she is not necessarily a fag, either. Isis has not specified her sexuality. She could be a female who likes men or a female who likes women. At any rate, most transgender or transexual individuals prefer not to be with a partner until their sex is in sync with their gender. (This means post-operation for those ignorant people here)
If anyone is curious about this sort of thing, (or just wants a good laugh about some ignorant questions that transsexuals get asked), look up Calpernia Addams' video "Bad Questions to ask a Transsexual". You know where to look it up. =)
Oh, and if anyone is seriously that upset about a transgender female being on ANTM, then don't watch it or support it anymore. Even posting negatively on here is giving publicity to this show. dur!

Rightie (cracking knuckles), I haven't been here in a while, let's get started:
Seriously, guys. Being in a man's body (at the moment) does nothing, NOTHING to give Isis any advantage over the other contestants. Just because she's prettier and more competent at modeling than they are is no reason to go crying about it.
I ... I can't seem to wrap my brain around how some of you simpletons are getting offended by the fact that this person feels they are not in the right body.
And you know what else is that 'gender' ... it has nothing to do with nature and it's not something you're born with, it's a concept that humans as a 'society' have made up all on their own. A concept about what's proper and how someone should act based SIMPLY upon whether or not they have PENIS or a VAGINA.... and balls or boobs. You know, the same concept that has both my parents telling me that, because I'm a girl, I shouldn't be into video games or comic books or all of the other things I enjoy in life.
And it's all bullcrap. Unfortunately we've have the same things engrained into our minds from birth for so freakin' long that people, like all the haters out there, are far more comfortable going along with it than realising how unfair it all is to someone who fits outside of their comfort zone.
A the worst part, I think, is that... if we did not have these stupid ideals and concepts of how a BOY and a GIRL should act then maybe Isis would not feel so alien in her body. I mean, you know, maybe she would and maybe she wouldn't, who am I to say? But there are a lot of other people like her out there who probably wouldn't be having the issues they are today.
This is getting really long (sorry), so I'd like to end with one last thing:
There's a lot of "either you're a woman or you're a man." Like how a tree can only be a tree.
First of all; people are not trees. Or rocks. Or even houses which can only be what they're created to be.
Secondly, if that statement WERE true, then would a mam born with half a member be only half a man? I'm sure it's happened somewhere... or something of the like. Maybe one ball or whatever.
I wonder, then... if I had developed my breasts but also had a penis, would I be able to choose which side of the coin I wanted to go with or would I have to live my life in the middle of the fence? Because it seems more people would be comfortable with that.

People should leave this girl alone. Good for her that she is pursuing her dream, both of becoming a woman, and of becoming a model.
Best of luck to Isis. If she indeed ends up being the best model, I hope she wins. If not, she will at least be able to say she tried, and that she didn't let her sexual status stand in her way of trying to achieve her dreams. There is only one judge, and though many who pass judgement claim to do so in His name, they should back off and leave it to God. In the meantime, she should be judged in this contest on modeling skills alone. And she should be respected and appreciated as a human being.

Nick Says:
September 10th, 2008 9:24 PM
Sorry thisgirl, but what does it mean to be a "real man,"?
Should Isis drive a truck and drink budweiser down at the NASCAR track? What do you mean?
The world isn't cut and dry, and if you haven't figured that out yet you clearly don't think very often. I'm sorry that Isis can't be placed into a box for you, I know that makes you scared and threatens your being, but you'll be okay. Just go back to the mall and you'll forget about it in no time.
Best of luck to Isis. SHE deserves it!
