LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - America's Next Top Model is making history again - last season, the show picked it's first plus size winner, and this season the show will have its first transgendered contestant. Isis, 22, is a pre-op transgender model who was born a male, but says she was "born in the wrong body" and always felt like a female. Isis was featured as an extra model for the homeless photo shoot last season, and host and creator Tyra Banks encouraged her to try out for the following season. The 11th season of the hit reality show premieres on the CW on September 3 at 8 p.m. image courtesy of Jim De Yonker / The CW
