A transgender girl named Noella has become the youngest trans model to walk the runway at New York Fashion Week. Noella made her appearance in the fashion show for Mel Atkinson, who is the designer of the company Trans Clothing.
" I feel good that I am already inspiring trans children to be themselves ," said the 10-year-old.
Noella's parents said they are extremely proud of their daughter, who is inspiring others.
' Noella really doesn't get nervous or scared of anything. She is a little pro! She was so excited to walk down the catwalk, excited to see all the people and cameras. She knows exactly how to work a crowd. We are very proud of Noella being the first trans child at New York Fashion Week, we are in awe of her confidence and determination,' said the girl's mother.
Noella was described as a toddler who refused to wear the clothes her parents tried to dress her in. But everything changed for her when Noella entered therapy at age 4 and said she was a girl.
Noella's parents feel she is too young to begin the medical transition, but are supporting her in the social transition and exploring her identity in the meantime. The 10-year-old's mother said Noella was very unhappy being perceived as a boy. She reveals that Noelle refused to wear boys' clothes and hated anything masculine.
At the age of 7, Noella started modeling on catwalks, when she legally changed her name./tvklan.al/
