Move over, Bruce Jenner.
Before you steal the transgender headlines, an actual transgender celebrity would like to say a few words.
Andreja Pejic, a model who was born as a male named Andrej Pejic and who came out as transgender last July, is featured in the latest issue of Vogue.
And she couldn't be more grateful for the opportunity.
Wrote Pejic in a lengthy Instagram post today:
"If at the beginning of my career in the modeling industry or half way through it or even this time last year you told me that I would end up having a 4 page feature in AMERICAN VOGUE I would have probably told you 'oh I dunno about that! That might be a bit difficult to achieve in the near future."
The ground-breaking model continued:
"In fact I was told by various people many times over that the chances of me ending up on these pages were slim to none. So you can only imagine what I'm feeling right now!
"Thank you #AnnaWintour, #TonneGoodman, #PatrickDemarchelier and #HelenaSuric for making history and having me part of it but even more importantly for representing a whole social minority and an often forgotten community of women in such an important publication and opening doors for the rest of the fashion industry to do so!"
Pejic underwent the sex change procedure done last year and walked for the first time as a fully transitioned woman in the Giles Deacon 2015 fall show in London.
On top of landing this Vogue spread, Pejic is also one of the first transgender models to sign on for a major beauty campaign after she became face of Make Up For Ever.
