What stands out is this photoshoot is de facto a heterosexual one, which is a huge leap in a more progressive popular cultural attitude about gender and sexuality.

The US outlets have yet to make any thing of it.

quote:"Although Beckford has not commented on the speculation surrounding his sexuality, he previously revealed that his notions of beauty had matured over the years."

"speculation surrounding his sexuality"...that's funny, cause I'm sure the dude is capable of getting more hot ass (whatever gender) than his critics could dream about.

I respect him for this though. I mean - yes, he's solidly established, so something like this wouldn't hurt him anyway...and it certainly helps that she's gorgeous.
..but the fact that she's gorgeous is almost the point, you would think -
she should be stunning even when viewed through hate filled lenses...even if a person can't see her as a "woman" - they should be able to see her as a beautiful "person"...someone so gentle on the eyes that gender almost becomes irrelevant.

I think it's funny when Joe or Jane Slob can spout out shit about a stunning girl like this ("she's still a dude !".."He's gotta be Gay!")...when their sitting at home with their unattractive, hetero partners that no one including themselves fuck anymore...lol.
....as if they themselves could attract a hot girl like this,even if they were in fact...gay.

I would add, however - I am running into more and more people that, at the very least, are willing to view post-op transsexuals as real women.

Baby steps I guess.
