On Wednesday, top model Teddy Quinlivan revealed to CNN that he’s not the biological female he’s presented himself to be to the fashion world, but was born a male and identifies as a transgender woman. Quinlivan made the revelation in between fashion shows during New York’s Fashion Week, a paramount event in the fashion world.
“I’ve decided to reveal my trans identity because of the political climate in the world right now — particularly in the United States,” said Quinlivan. “We made an amazing progression under the Obama administration, and since the new administration took office there’s been a kind of backlash.”
