Transgender supermodels?

[24901miles]

Article

Victoria's Secret, the fashion modeling industry's notoriously risqué clothing retailer, has been petitioned on Change.org. The cause? Fans of transgender model Carmen Carrera wanted Victoria's Secret to hire the Elite Model Management signee to showcase the Angels collection which hit the runway in New York on November 13.

Should Victoria's Secret hire transgender models?

[Entice]

I don't think they shouldn't hire them simply because they're transgender, unless penis showing through the underwear is going to be an advertising problem lol

[Xenomit]

I don't know about supermodels, but I love traps

Be honest, can you even tell that this chick has a dick

Sort of agreeing with Xenomit. If you can't tell they have a dick then who cares? It only matters if you plan on entering a relationship with them.

Although I'm sure Xenomit wasn't referring to the models and was being irrelevant.

This too, as long as it won't have any difference on the display of what they are trying to promote.

Transgendered/androgynous models can be pretty versatile, so why not?
This is Andrej Pejić and omg I honestly thought he was a girl when I first saw his pics.

[Conal]

If they're pretty enough to fit the bill, I don't see a problem with if. IF they're pretty enough.

[argile]

I'm totally fine with this.

supermodels distort the body image of the youth & an occupation which demands extremely unhealthy dietary habits shouldn't even be allowed to exist in nations with proper labor laws . . . regardless of if you're an otherwise well-adjusted adult or an abomination in the eyes of god ("transgender") lol

tbh I think it would be ideal if Victoria's Secret (and other similair companies) were to hire transgender models without telling anybody about it until some time afterwards.
that way the homophobes of the world can beat their meat to the trannies and then hopefully kill themselves from shame when they found out they were jerking it to "men"

[Daikenkini]

Many transgenders look gorgeous, many of them have amazing bodies, so why not?

As long as you the people who are disgusted by them don't know about their nature ... they'll love them as well.

lol fags

Upload trans porn to a popular website and categorize it as something else

[Ron-Geno]

Wouldn't be surprised if trans people were already on the runway with Victoria's Secret.

Anywho,if they can do the job, then why not?

[TheSporkLord]

They should of course have the choice to hire them. It's great if they do, but they shouldn't be chewed out for not doing it.

They're not chewing anyone out really, they just think that getting Victoria's Secret to hire their first transgender model would show the company's support and be good publicity for their cause.

Oh yeah, they're not doing it yet. But I feel like this is going to be one of those times where someone feels as though they have to or something. Which obviously they don't.

Oh, I agree they definitely have a choice not to hire her.

If they did so purely on the basis of her being trans that'd be p shitty though, but I know there's a myriad of other factors that affect their hiring decisions

The model in question is fully transitioned

You're asking if Victoria should discriminate or not?
Are you for real?

lol at neoliberal co-optation of identity politics

ofc the irony there is that said co-optation will demonstrate in the end that capitalism *can* coexist with 'toleration' of the groups bougie marxoteens care about, and once that happens everyone else will be pushed even further to the margins while said bougies dig even further for even smaller groups to bother neoliberalism into 'tolerating' so they can continue to fail spectacularly at class analysis. maybe they'll repeat what they did in the 60s and go back to doing a big loud care about teh rights of pedophiles

and lord only knows what effect the co-optation will have on the exurban proletariat, who now define their politics only in opposition to whatever goes on in elite circles, partially because they don't have time for analysis and have next to no academic resources anyway and partially because they know *something* is wrong but don't know *what* and, well, i may be a totalitarian extremist or whatever but the Sane Centrist analysis that the tea party is a scream of inarticulate rage is 100% correct, though the conclusions to be drawn are exactly the opposite of the conclusions they draw

that's not the question you asked but that's what neoliberal etc etc of the sort exemplified here (and vodka companies marketing themselves with rainbow flags and so on) will lead to. to answer the question you asked: i really don't care what they do

[Sensationalism]

I couldn't give less fucks. Doesn't affect me, they can do as they please.

This, although I don't really see the problem with having a transgender model.

And yet the rage will rain down if she isn't hired.
The words "transphobe" and "homophobe" will be tossed @ Victoria's Secret, and they will be boycotted and protested against.

Because sadly, the majority are not as understanding as you are.

[koopahermit]

of course.

Today I learned that if someone supports transgenders you can automatically assume a bunch of other random things about their views because everyone in the world fits into a neat political stereotype

By "understanding" do you mean imcompassionate and myopic?
