Andreja Pejić | Transgender Woman

Known as the world’s first genuinely androgynous supermodel, Andreja Pejić is a Bosnian-Australian actress and model. Right after coming out as a transgender woman in 2013, she became one of the most recognizable models in the world. When she was younger, they lived in Yugoslavia, but her mother felt unsafe and initiated the process to transfer to Australia. When their application was approved, they promptly contacted the moving company to help them with the revolution in 2000.

Now Pejić is a very vocal advocate of LGBT rights. She also talks about gender fluidity all the time. The model has used various platforms such as her interviews to communicate her views on various matters. Considering her reach, having appeared on the cover of many magazines, especially Vogue, we can be sure that her influence is massive. In 2013, Pejić underwent gender reassignment surgery, and then the following year, she started a crowdfunding campaign to produce a movie about the process and her life as a woman.
