"I'm conflicted. On one hand, I don't want to say that because you were a man and now you're a woman, you can't be in a women's fashion show. But I feel it's a dicey issue. The fact of the matter is, when you are transgender — if you go, say, male to female — you're not having your pelvis broken and having it expanded surgically. You still have the anatomical bone structure of a man."He also said "that fashion designers would put basically adolescent-shaped boys or men in women's clothes is head-scratching for me because, anatomically, women and men have different shapes."
I can understand the sentiment, but there's so much wrong with this I don't know where to start. It's true -- blindingly true -- that the fashion industry is responsible for putting unrealistic expectations on a lot of women. Models qua models are tall, skinny, and angular regardless whether they're cis or trans, but he willfully misgenders trans women by referring to them "adolescent-shaped boys; and by placing the fashion industry's burden on a handful of trans models, neglects to consider that trans women, like cis women, come in a variety of body shapes.
