New York, NY – January 5, 2017 –International erotic model and web star Mia Isabella has been named popular online magazine, Vice Broadly, as one of the most significant moments for trans rights in 2016 in a year end round-up that can be read here https://broadly.vice.com/en_us/article/the-most-significant-moments-for-trans-rights-in-2016.

 

“I was honored to learn that Broadly Vice considered my experience, my reaction and my ability to represent my perspective as a trans woman in the 21st century to be one of the most significant moments for the trans community in 2016,” says Mia. “It was certainly one of the scariest times in my life but I realize that if any hurt I might have endured helped someone then it was all worth it. If it changed even just one heart and mind for the better, I am humbled.”

 

Moved by her struggles of being tabloid fodder when Mia’s relationship with rap superstar Tyga was revealed in the media, trans Broadly reporter Diana Tourjee flew out to Mia’s home in Las Vegas for an in-depth interview and photo shoot for a profile that was titled, “Beyond the Tyga Sex Scandal: The Real Life of Trans Porn Star Mia Isabella,” https://broadly.vice.com/en_us/article/beyond-the-tyga-sex-scandal-the-real-life-of-trans-porn-star-mia-isabella.

 

“When this broke last year, my first memory of Mia resurfaced. It was an image of her nude body that I’d stumbled upon many years ago: I remember Mia’s breasts were swollen in the photo above an upwardly angled phallus. Black sheets of straight hair fell over tan and ageless skin. She looked like she’d been pulled from Greek mythology,” wrote Diana Tourjee, “I was on the cusp of my own transition from male to female, and her image had a profound effect on me. It was this photo of Mia that made me realize that it’s possible to change your sex.”
