The fashion model the media can't handle - Media Criticism - Salon.com

The fashion model the media can't handle - Media Criticism - Salon.com: "There are always those who'd prefer gender to run in neat lines, as clearly delineated as the icons on a public bathroom door. But for many, it's more fluid. It doesn't mean that a pretty boy necessarily longs to be a girl, nor does it sabotage the heterosexuality of anybody else. And Pejic's lingerie model joke was an obvious bit of sarcasm directed at a reporter who asked – with a straight face -- if he'd 'consider a complete sex change.' 'If I was offered a Victoria's Secret contract… you'd kind of have to, wouldn't you?' he'd joked. And then he added, significanly, 'I'm comfortable with the way I am.' It doesn't matter if you're wearing a dress or trousers. Pejic -- unlike the clowns at B&N and FHM -- knows what counts most in life is how secure you are in your own skin."
