Vogue Paris is to become the first French magazine to feature a transgender model on its cover, according the honour to Valentina Sampaio of Brazil for its March edition.
Calling Sampaio the "glam standard-bearer of a cause that is on the march", the French edition of Vogue describes the 22-year-old as a "femme fatale" who happened to be born a boy.
"Beyond her evident physical qualities and her sparkling personality, (Sampaio) embodies... a long and painful fight against being perceived as a 'gender exile'," Emmanuelle Alt, the magazine's editor-in-chief, writes in her editor's letter.

Is Vogue saying that men make better women than real women?
Wax lips from the penny candy store.
Pretty soon women won’t get any jobs.
What is “gross”, Alex?
At a certain point, girls are going to say “What’s the use? It’s still A Man’s World!”. There are some societies that do promote this gender crossing while in character for theatre.
I think certain Japanese Kabuki performances were composed of all male acting groups. The Middle East degrades and conceals real women, while some sectors welcome young men dressed as women are paid to dance and entertain wealthy. Eventually, gender quotas may be used to make sure the real girls don’t get excessively shut out.
How can they do that, when that's the very thing they say is evil?
I’m sorry but my first thought was that some dude, somewhere, is gonna fap to that, unaware.
And I LMAO.
The glass ceiling is obscured by the glitter.
So much for equality.
Delicious, delicious irony.
I do believe there are persons of such renown right here on FR.
Laughing harder.
And thanks, 50mm, for telling me WTF “fap” even means.
:D
They’re also trying to out liberal each other. Women that look at these magazines don’t want to see a guy in make up and a dress.
Maneater.
Transvestites may be good for the occasional laugh (I grew up on Monty Python...), but they’re not women and I don’t see how sane people can take this seriously.
I know!
:D
There are two biological genders and infinite psychoses.
That’s all we need to remember.
:)
That’s a good metaphor; succinct.
Fortunately I will never be tempted to buy French Vogue or US Vogue or any similar product.
Suck what?
