This is what the news article said

Tips: Transgender cosplay club in Wuhan
It seems that the Cosplay has become the main outlet for communication of Chinese transsexuals. Recently on the internet appeared pictures that depict a group of boys in Wuhan in women's clothes. These guys belong to the "Alice transsexuals group", a group that immediately became very popular in the university, because Cosplay female characters are interpreted only by boys. The group was fonded on October 1, 2009 and there are now over 200 members, mainly university students from different schools of Wuhan. Boys said they paid for their clothes around 170 RMB and 300 RMB, in fact, Chinese Cosplay, doesn't respect all the Japanese Cosplay rules. In recent years, in China, Cosplay has become an outlet for the acceptance of transvestites nad transessexuals, in fact images of Ladyboy in some forums are associated with Cosplay.

Andrej Pejic.

By Charlotte Williamson 7:00AM GMT 20 Feb 2011 - Sunday Telegraph (UK)

Tall and impossibly skinny, with impeccably arched eyebrows and cheekbones sharp as diamonds: on first impression, fashion€™s latest darling looks no different to any of the other freaks of nature gliding through the offices of Storm model agency.

Except this season€™s most-wanted model isn€™t, for once, a she €“ it€™s a he.

In an industry obsessed with the new, fashion has certainly found it with Andrej Pejic. Last month, the 19-year-old €“ already something of a name in menswear €“ caused a stir when he modelled womenswear for the Paris couture shows; he even wore a wedding dress for Jean Paul Gaultier.

Right now, Pejic is very much in demand. As well as editorials with prestigious photographers such as Steven Meisel and Mert & Marcus for Paris and Italian Vogue, he is the gender-bending face of the new advertising campaign for Marc by Marc Jacobs. Tonight he will be back in women€™s clothing, modelling on the catwalk for Vivienne Westwood as part of London Fashion Week.

So which does he prefer €“ men€™s or women€™s? €œI€™m comfortable doing both,€ he says, €œalthough womenswear is more glamorous. The clothes are more exciting. In menswear I have to work more at having a masculine presence. But then that€™s my job. If they put me in, say, a rubbish bag and I feel completely unattractive, I still have to show it to its potential.€


Pejic€™s androgenous look is entirely his own creation €“ today, for instance, he€™s wearing a light grey micro-mini dress, thick black tights and biker boots. €œAround the age of 14, I decided to experiment with my look,€ he explains. €œAs a kid, you get to the stage where you realise the gender barriers that exist in society and what you€™re supposed to do and not supposed to do. I really tried being someone else during that period. It was hard for me €“ not being able to express myself and feeling I had to be someone else.

€œBut now I€™m comfortable in my skin, and for my look to be celebrated is great. My look is very personal to me. When I started experimenting, it was a personal decision because I was unhappy. It wasn€™t something I did for attention.€

Even on the closest of inspections, it is hard to discern Pejic€™s gender: his complexion is a perfect peaches-and-cream, and there€™s not a whisper of a five o€™clock shadow. The only clue, perhaps, is his slightly protruding Adam€™s apple.

Still, the female models he works with don€™t seem too perturbed. €œThe girls don€™t mind if I€™m in their dressing room,€ he muses. Neither are they annoyed that his flat-chested, snake-hipped figure is nigh-on impossible for most women to achieve. €œMost of the girls are friendly. I guess they find me intriguing.€

What does remain intriguing, though, is why designers would want a man modelling women€™s clothes.

€œAndrej is the perfect coat-hanger,€ says Clare Coulson, fashion features director of Harper€™s Bazaar. €œClothes look best on someone who is tall and skinny, on a long and lean silhouette.€

Harriet Quick, Vogue fashion features director, agrees. €œAndrej is incredibly beautiful with a very striking face €“ sharp angles and planes that look good on camera.€

Yet Quick believes his appeal goes deeper than that. €œFor the past decade, fashion has concentrated on the alpha male and alpha female stereotype. Now it€™s all about questioning sexuality and blurring the boundaries. Andrej is reflecting our times €“ he€™s what€™s out there; he€™s reflecting culture.

€œIt€™s the same look we€™re now seeing in music and with teenagers and twentysomethings on the street. He makes people open their eyes; makes them question how one presents one€™s image. It€™s attention-grabbing €“ it€™s all about looking twice and asking questions. How? Why? And a good fashion image should hold your attention.€

Originally from Bosnia €“ his mother is Serbian, his father Croatian €“ Pejic was born shortly before the start of the Balkan conflict. His family moved to Serbia and, when he was eight, to Melbourne, Australia. €œI had to learn a whole new culture as well as a whole new language,€ he says. €œAt school, I was thrown in at the deep end. It took me a year to learn English.€

His refugee status has meant living as an outsider €“ and fashion is full of outsiders. €œFashion is quite inclusive and good at embracing different things and different forms of beauty,€ he says. €œIt€™s a very liberal industry. You can be yourself. Just not overweight,€ he adds, drily.

Pejic was spotted shortly before his seventeenth birthday. €œI was working in McDonald€™s part time, and this guy came in €“ he wanted a cheeseburger. He then told me to see him at his modelling agency.€

Did he think you were a woman? €œI don€™t know, he didn€™t say. Obviously, when I went into the agency, they figured it all out ... But they signed me up right away.€

Initially, the agency was unsure about which direction Pejic should go. €œIn the beginning they wanted me to be more masculine €“ they told me to go to the gym because the menswear clients would like me more. That wouldn€™t be such a good idea now because I wouldn€™t be able to fit into womenswear.€

His friends and family have been supportive throughout. €œMum€™s very proud. She finds every picture of me and has them on every wall. And my friends €“ well, since being a teenager, I€™ve always been experimental. So they aren€™t surprised. Obviously, they were surprised to see me in a wedding dress in a couture show. That was probably something they didn€™t expect! But they€™re all supportive.€

And how does the average Aussie macho male deal with his looks? €œI€™ve been getting chatted up by men ever since I was 14. In Australia, you€™ve got your Greeks, and your Italians ... I haven€™t had any horrible experiences. Sometimes they€™re shocked, but most of the time they still want to buy me a drink.€

Post-modelling, Pejic hopes to study either law or economics (before fleeing to Australia, his father was an economist and his mother a lawyer). €œMy favourite author is Leon Trotsky €“ the political philosophy and the way he writes is beautiful, and really relevant, too.

€œBut at this point nobody knows where this modelling is going. I usually have a plan in life €“ but this wasn€™t planned. When I went to the agency, I was like, modelling€™s better than a part-time job at McDonald€™s. I thought I€™d give it a shot. But it€™s still going well so we€™ll see. I would love to do Playboy with [the photographer] Terry Richardson. I love Playboy and Terry would be the person to do it.€

Along with the transgender model Lea T €“ the current face of Givenchy and Kate Moss€™s co-star on the latest cover of Love magazine €“ Pejic is very much in demand. But fashion is a fickle business €“ something he is only too aware of.

€œAt this point, yes, everything€™s going well. I€™m still a sample size, so I can fit into designer womenswear. The only thing I have a problem with is my shoulders.€

Well, nobody€™s perfect ...

If he had started taking hormones early he could have been the next Kim Petras. hes in that sort of grey area no mans land that is hard to figure out where he slots in the scheme of things. I suppose Andro as the article states .

Out of interest is he gay or bi or hetero . Would a Gay man go for him. mmm i wonder.

Lia T is a Full TS not a Cissyboy, but as she is mentioned in the article on Andrej Pejic, I thought it worth adding to the collection.

The 3rd photo is Lia T kissing Kate Moss for the Givenchy ad campaign.

After seeing the Lea T naked photos from French Vogue, you may not even know that this gorgeous female Givenchy model is also a man. For the Riccardo Tisci Fall 2010 Givenchy ad campaign, the transsexual was selected to represent the big wig fashion house. Read more about this controversial model and see photos here!

Have you seen the racy Lea T naked photos yet? In case you haven€™t, we have the pictures here for you to take a peek at. So who is this model that is stirring up the fashion industry with a French Vogue nude campaign? Miss T is a transsexual model. In other words, despite the fact that Lea still rocks a ball sack, she is currently taking hormone replacement therapy which will be followed by a sex change surgery to become a woman.

Now while Lea, born Leandro Cerezo, has had quite the mental battle with finding who she is, she knows that despite the way she was born she knows that even though she was born a man, a woman is what she really is. Lea is currently making the transition to become a woman. As you can imagine, this has been a horribly difficult process for Lea. Now only has she upset her Catholic family, but she has felt very alone in the midst of it all.

But it is her modeling career that surely has given Lea the satisfaction she deserves. Lea was cast alongside models Mariacarla Boscono, Malgosia Bela and Joan Smalls for a fall Givenchy campaign that have many taking notice.

But Riccardo Tisci is pleased with his choice to cast Lea for this campaign. About the model he says €œShe€™s a true goddess. She€™s always been very feminine €“ super-fragile, very aristocratic.€
