Are transsexuals eligible to compete on Americas Next Top Model?
No. Claudia Charriez, the transsexual model on The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency talked about being disqualified from ANTM because it came out that she was transsexual (Source Out.com). In the first episode of Cycle 1, The Girl Who Wants It So Bad, there were two models that Tyra fought over with the producers to include in the line-up and lost. There are rumors that one of these models was transgendered. There has been nothing to verify whether this is true and whether one of the models was Claudia.
