Isis King, the transgendered contestant who competed on Cycle 11 of America’s Next Top Model recently appeared on Larry King Live. The episode focused on the issues facing transgendered people and was cohosted by celebrity psychologist Dr. Drew.

Alexis Arquette also appears in the episode, along with a female-to-male transgender and a transgender mayor. The segment was inspired by Chaz Bono’s decision to come out as a transgendered person. Alexis is very articulate and compassionate on television and this entire episode is respectful and informative. I’m impressed, Larry King.

Isis appears around 11:25. She talks about why she doesn’t use the term transgender, what it was like to be transitioning on national television, her procedure and the healing process and more.

Isis seems so happy and content right now. This is a great interview and I’m glad her surgery is complete and she can focus on the next step in her life.

Isis King, the ground-breaking contestant on Cycle 11 of America’s Next Top Model will be on Monday’s episode of The Tyra Banks Show. Isis recently underwent her gender reassignment surgery and is going to talk about that experience.

“It’s almost like I was supposed to have it,” Isis tells Tyra. “Although it was swelling and bruising and everything, automatically I felt more comfortable. I was ready to walk around the house in my little shorts. I just felt more confident.”

Isis’s boyfriend, Desmond came on the show to support her. He also does the most amazing thing during filming – watch the video to see!

I’m so happy for Isis! I’m glad the surgery was successful and that she has a supportive and loving fiance who helped her through it! Congratulations Isis and I wish you all the best.

Isis King to Receive Reassignment Surgery

Isis King, the transgendered contestant who appeared on this cycle of America’s Next Top Model is being given the gift of a lifetime-the sex reassignment surgery she so desperately wants, NY Daily News reports.

Tomorrow on The Tyra Banks Show, Isis talks about her issues as a transgendered person and as a model. Dr. Marci Bowers makes an appearance, according to Just Jared, and offers to pay for Isis’s surgey. Rumors are flying that it is Tyra who offered, but according to a rep from the show, that information is false.

Throughout her stint on ANTM, Isis was very open and honest about her situation and frankly admitted the only thing holding her back from the surgery was the cost. Gender reassignment surgery can cost upwards of $300,000.

If you want to see this big revelation, or just to see Isis on Tyra’s show, be sure to tune in tomorrow! You can see the preview here.
