The article is not terribly convincing though. It mostly profiles trans model Lea T but then backtracks to explain that there have ben trans modelling sensations for the last three decades. Is that really a sign of societal acceptance though?

could of fooled me ? I agree with you trans models blahh. What about the average Joanne. What about the trans people that are nurse's, Dr's, Bus drivers, fighter pilots, social workers, Media Technicians, wait staff, street cleaners.

we need to normalise it not sensationalise it.
