The playmate of the month Playboy for the first time was the model-transgender

109

Popular magazine Playboy presented the girl of the August issue — it was the 35-year-old Gina Rosero from the Philippines.

The choice is notable because it was the first model transgender in the Asia-Pacific region, trapped in the cult magazine, reports the Chronicle.info with reference on the Facts.

The publication indicates that the mere appearance of model-transgender in Playboy already is unlikely to surprise anyone — this magazine has a truly long history in providing equal rights for different models. So, Hugh Hefner became the first publisher to put on the cover a transgender model back in the 80s (she was Caroline Cossey).

In November 2017, the playmate of the month became a transgender model INES Rau — thus the editorial Board then decided to honor the memory of Hefner and to pay tribute to his courageous positions (publisher died in September 2017). Well, in 2018, the first transgender person on the cover was placed and the German Playboy.

“To be part of the cult of the Playboy family, which has long advocated for freedom and individuality, is something that I accept with great responsibility,” — said in an interview, Gina.

The publication reports that Rosero modeling career began when she was 21. During this time she managed to collaborate with several fashion brands to shoot for the cover of Harper’s Bazaar India and also in the video The Weekend The Knowing.

Rosero also admitted that for a long time concealed the fact that she is transgender, as this could adversely affect her career, but eventually made coming out in 2014, as, in her words, tired of living a double life.

“As the first transgender model from the Asian-Pacific region, I am glad that his example shows that dreams can come true. I also hope that everyone who was labeled “other” will feel that this is their strength,” said Gina.

“I believe telling stories through the lens of the transgender experience speaks louder than statistics. For so long we trans people have not been in charge of our own stories, and our representation has been predicated on the idea that we’re not the people we are. Obviously, this is who we are. This is our lived experience. It’s not up for debate. “ @Playboy Playmate August 2019 Photographed by @wiissa0

“One of my fav to do is making swimsuits out of leaves, fruits or flowers when I’m in the islands. For this shot, I made these Bunny Ears. I guess it was worth being stopped at every airport because of the wire cutters, wires that I was carrying in order to make these bunny ears” @the Playboy Playmate August 2019 @geenarocero Photographed by @wiissa0

“I once shared a speaking agent with the iconic goddess, Maya Angelou, and he told me Maya believed the true definition of legacy is not about the future; it’s about the people you interact with day to day. The moment you become conscious of who you are and what your purpose is and the way you communicate that to people one at a time, that’s your legacy.” @Playboy Playmate August 2019 @geenarocero Photographed by @wiissa0

@Playboy: “My TED talk went viral. It was 2014, the beginning of a big shift in the cultural conversation about transgender people. I wanted to further that conversation, so I launched an advocacy platform called Gender Proud. “ August 2019 Playmate @geenarocero Photographed by @wiissa0
