Contrary to all of the headlines, LeaT is not… repeat, NOT the first transsexual model!!!!

The first was April Ashley, who was born in Britain and had SRS in *1960*! She appeared on the cover of Vogue until she was outed in 1961 by the tabloid Sunday People a year later.

Then in the late 1970s and early 80's, another transwoman from Britain began a modeling career.

Carolyn Cossey (who went by the name Tula in the modeling world) had a lucrative career inboth print and fashion modeling until she was hired as an extra for the James Bond film “For Your Eyes Only”, when her past was exposed by the tabloid News of the World.

So next time, do some research before printing a misleading headline!
