"My cards were dealt differently," Isis, a 22-year-old former receptionist, tells Us Weekly. Hailing from Prince George's County, Maryland, Isis identifies herself as "a woman born physically male."

I was SO convinced that Jaslene from cycle 8 was a tranny. Everytime they did previews for the next week and there was something about a "big twist" I was like this is it! We're gonna find out! I can't believe she's a bio woman.

I'm also looking forward to the other catty bitches whining because she's not a "real" girl and it's "not fair."

All in all, though, a very successful m2f.

My friends and I have been talking about this for years. It's too bad they couldn't find a tranny model without droopeyes.

Here's some official tranny lingo for when you talk about this from now on:

"Tranny": Ok if you're using it in a friendly sense, kind of like "queer."

"Natal girl": For women who aren't trannies. Better than "bio girl" because trannies like Isis are "bio girls."

"Easy, Breezy, Beautiful Coverperson": Mildly offensive.

Keep people watching for drama and from feeling guilty for voting her off, but not there for the big advertising payoff for the network.

Like she's packing a couple of toothpicks wired together with fishing line instead of bones.

What shoes is she wearing there- does anyone know? They look like some Kenneth Cole Gentle Soles I tried on but couldn't afford.
