Taking to the stage in front of hundreds of people in a sheer negligee would be a nerve-wracking experience for most people, but on Wednesday model Nicole Gibson had added reason to feel wary as she stepped out onto the catwalk at the Ideal Home Show.
The statuesque blonde was part of the event's celebrated Models of Diversity fashion show, where she too was celebrating her first professional modelling job since undergoing full gender reassignment surgery.
Nicole, 32, was born a boy and lived her life as Glen until two years ago when Glen confessed to his mother that he was suffering from gender dysmorphia, or gender identity disorder. This condition is one where a person instinctively knows there is a mismatch between their biological sex and the actual gender they feel themselves to be.
For once the Daily Wail has not attacked the TG community, to read more about Nicole: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2506211/Meet-transgender-model-star-Ideal-Homes-lingerie-catwalk.html#ixzz2kdYxFWD9
To me what is more interesting than Nicole's good looks is that 2 edged sword for many girls; yes she is beautiful enough to be a model, but is that all she can do?
What do you think???

Like many on here, just being able to look as good as her would be a dream come true. And I'm one who is not looking to transition. Thanks for finding this Pauline.
