RENO, Nevada — Transformation Magazine announced that its first international issue hits newsstand on Jan. 12.
Issue #86 features more than 20 interviews and photos of girls from every continent.
"The idea for an international Issue is to show how far-reaching trans beauty is around the globe. From the U.S. to France, from Brazil to Russia we searched for the best representatives to give a diverse look at what’s going on in different landscapes," said Hanna Rodgers, editor-in-chief.
In order to obtain a wide variety of content, Transformation said it used crowd sourcing and encouraged readers to submit people who they wanted to hear from.
The cover features Amonphan Wauchakool, aka Fish, aka @ShemaleFish–of Thailand who was submitted by Bob of Bobs-Tgirls.com.
"My photographer in Thailand introduced me to Fish over Skype when she was there for a shoot. She and I have kept in touch since. She seems genuinely sweet and is obviously beautiful," Bob said.
"After receiving all of the submissions, we loved how Fish really took the time to show us the culture of Thailand," Rodgers added.
In another first for Transformation, the interviews will be published in a special two-part series, 50 percent in print and 50 percent online and will feature notable transgender women from Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, and North and South America.
