Geena's Gender

Geena Rocera, a model I admit I'd never heard of, has just come out.  She explained at a TED talk that she was born a boy but became a woman.  The photos sure look like a woman.

The question is how will this affect her career. (I assume it wasn't widely known already, even inside her industry.) Very possibly, as someone who already has a reputation, and someone who's relatively novel in coming out, it won't make too much difference, or might even help her.

But still, you have to wonder if people will look at her differently.  You can look at someone differently based on what you know about them.  To most men, of course, sexy is sexy, but we'll see if this challenges that concept.
