+Amanda Blazza she was claiming to be a genetic female for a few years and was billed as the worlds tallest model from 2010-2014 she was on the covers of a lot of magazines. Then came out as transgender in 2014. I always suspected her of being transgender due to deep voice and the way she defended allegations was 'it says a woman on my birth certificate' Which i always thought was a suspect argument as they change your birth certificate after you transition. Either way she is pretty for sure!

O Fira but by taking hormones u do permanently change it into XX, so no, she's a woman. If u take estrogen u change from male to female permanently, and there's no going back. Even tho she was a he, still, why do u make such a big deal out of it. Do some research about how hormones shots and all these things works before u say something.
