'People get really mad about my queer library. I have like 200 titles that are specific to the LGBT community that I've been curating for...

A 10-year-old transgender girl from Chicago will already be a runway veteran when she takes to the catwalk next month at New York Fashion Week — with plans to walk in Paris next year.
