The latest issue of Playboy features a transgender playmate, a first in the magazine’s 64-year history.

Rau is from France and is a successful model. She was also in the 2014 issue of playboy, that edition was championing a more progressive understanding of gender.

Rau hails from Paris and is a successful fashion model, fronting campaigns for Balmain, appearing in Vogue Italia and commanding the catwalk at fashion weeks across the globe.

She appeared in Playboy’s May 2014 issue in a special A-Z edition, which championed a more progressive understanding of gender as non-binary

Rau said it is a salvation to speak the truth about yourself. Adding that people who reject you aren't worth it, and about loving yourself. The feature has mixed reviews.

“It’s a salvation to speak the truth about yourself, whether it’s your gender, sexuality, whatever. The people who reject you aren’t worth it. It’s not about being loved by others; it’s about loving yourself.”
The feature has been met with mixed reviews online.

I thought we heard like 6 months ago that Playboy was no longer going to be featuring nude models?

Now they've gone a complete 180 degree turn?

The final nail in the playboy coffin

They should at least make a separate category for transgender people.

Lol, who buys printed porn these days?
I didn't even know it was still on sale until reading this, haven't bought a magazine in years though so I just don't notice what's on the shelves I guess.

So does this Ines person have a wiener or nah? I imagine there are a few men out there that don't keep up with the news that when they receive their new issue they have a big surprise in store for them. No pun intended.

Soon to have surgery - addadicktomy

I'm surprised it still sells, its neither graphic enough for the dirty mac brigade but a bit too seedy for the GQ types.


Anyway, If you fancy someone...does it matter? I mean, you fancy them, right? that's what the pics are there for, so, does it really matter? and if so...Why?

They had to wait for the founder to die first?

a reply to: SprocketUK

Agreed, if I fancied someone at a party or whatever I wouldn't be phased if they were trans.
If my initial attraction was there then post/pre op issues would be something I'd have to consider at the time because I've not been in such a situation. My gut instinct is I'd probably be more wanting to chase intimacy with a post-op girl than pre-op, but again, I'd only know in the situation, attraction is multi faceted.

For some it feeds the 'population control by forcing people into homosexuality conspiracy' nonsense.

Yeah, the only issue would be if having a family was something but show me one guy ever who was thinking of kids and marriage when chatting up a hot girl at a party and I will show you an honest politician.

Hugh Hephner is rolling in his grave right now...

Probably truckers who do long hauls and when there is no internet connection along a stretch...gotta go manual.

I immediately saw that Alex Jones gay frogs things in my mind's eye when I read that

a reply to: SprocketUK

Haha yes!
...I'm definitely having no more kids for sure, so such thoughts are never in my mind these days, depends on how intoxicated at a party I am these days, but trans in itself? Not so much of an issue for me, I'm friends with a few in my social group, just not attracted more than friends if you know what I mean, same as other girl friends I'm not sexually attracted to.

Ah yep, hadn't thought of that, I live in Britain and truck routes are rarely out of 3/4G signal here.

Not the first time Playboy featured a transsexual.

Tula, a Bond girl was in the September '91 issue.

I'm not sure I know any, but hell, I cant even tell if someone is gay, nor spot the difference between various actors or other celebs.

Then again, I been married so long I don't have to think about such stuff anymore.
