Transgender Man Model born a Girl does modeling as a Woman
Transgender man achieves his modelling dream after being rejected by agencies when he was a woman (but he now only poses in LADIES' clothes)
- Adrian Baker, 31, was born a girl named Catherine and wanted to model
- Adrian, from London, was turned away from modelling agencies
- He had his breasts removed and had penis surgery in 2006
- Is now in demand and is booked for at least four castings a week
Adrian, pictured after transitioning, was able to beat his alcohol addiction and was much happier following his surgery

A transgender man has achieved his dream of becoming a model after surgery gave him an androgynous look - but he only wears women's clothing on shoots.
Adrian Baker, 31, who was born a girl named Catherine, had breast removal and penile construction and replaced his previously curvy body with a lean silhouette.
The London model has found women on his shoots don't realise he is male until they see him getting changed and he's now in demand with at least four castings a week.

Adrian, pictured when he was Catherine, was curvy with size 32C breasts and was turned down by modelling agencies
Adrian, pictured as Catherine, had an NHS-funded hysterectomy in 2008 and had his breasts removed in 2006
Quote:
Adrian said: 'I always knew I was born a boy and I never expected after the multiple surgeries I had to be modelling high-end women's clothes.
'I am thrilled to be breaking new ground and supported by model agencies who know I am a man.
'My look is what high-end fashion companies want for women's clothes - a lean body, no breasts and a cross between male and female features, which with the proper makeup, are all the rage.

He said: 'I go in the normal model clothes of baggy jeans and tops and most of the girls at the women's castings assume I am a woman. It's only if we are changing and they see I have had my boobs removed or spot my penis, which I tuck up between my legs for shoots, do they realise they are competing against a man.'
