Internal dichotomy as a result of gender dysphoria caused him real suffering and psychological discomfort. He felt more like a girl than a boy.

The people around him advised him to try his hand at modeling. With his stunning good looks, delicate facial features and slender figure, he had a great chance. He sent several pictures to Australia's largest modeling agency CMA (Chadwick Modeling Agency). This bold step turned out to be fateful, a dazzling world of fashion and beauty was opened to him.

The size of his clothes is 36L (European), shoes - 44.

As a thirteen-year-old teenager, having found information on gender reassignment operations on the Internet, Andrei realized that this was his only chance for him. He began taking hormones to stop the changes associated with puberty.

The family (in the photo on the left is Andrey, his mother, grandmother) made his decision. A family council decided that he would change his gender after graduation. But the plans had to be adjusted. The Melbourne office of the international fashion agency Chadwick Model Management invited him to become their model.

With unexpected success for himself, Andrei began to try himself in the role of a transgender model.

Suddenly, what had given him many years of suffering turned out to be his main highlight, an advantage over other models. Andrey decided: this is a great chance to gain financial independence and stability. Having postponed the fulfillment of his dream for a while, he was not going to give it up.

Model business

Andrei Pezhich, before and after the operation, surprised and shocked by his appearance on the podium. He began his modeling career as a seventeen-year-old boy, incredibly feminine, graduated from modeling school, first appeared at Sydney Fashion Week (in 2009).

At the age of 19, the young man moved to Paris. There began a dizzying rise of his career. It has received rave attention from renowned fashion masters Marc Jacobs, Jean Paul Gaultier.

Andrey Pezhich became the first, so far the only, man to advertise underwear. In a bra from the famous Danish company Hema, with a push-up effect, he appeared on the catwalk in 2011. A Hema spokesperson explained this as an ideal opportunity to demonstrate the benefits of ultra-voluminous flat-bust (size 0) bras without offending the model.

If a man can look so sexy in a bra, then it is worthwhile, the newspapers wrote.

A stunning success was shown at the Jean Paul Gaultier shows of wedding fashion in Barcelona of a wedding dress (in 2011). And then followed a series of numerous fashion shows, photographs on the first covers of glossy publications, participation in numerous advertising campaigns.

Andrew received an invitation to a tea party to Queen Elizabeth II herself, where he appeared in a skirt. The 18th place in the rating of 50 male models on the website models.com (in 2011) became a landmark.

The main milestones in the career of Andrei Pezic:

Androgynous appearance gives him advantages over other models, the model admitted. He is equally in demand as a charming girl and a handsome sophisticated boy. Andrey noted that female models are jealous of his successes, feeling in him a strong competitor.

Its main advantages: femininity, unwillingness to be overweight, inability to pregnancy and childbirth. He arouses the enduring interest of the audience, takes advantage of it with pleasure, says that for him it is just a way to make money. He considers the main challenge in his life to be able to make his androgyny commercially successful.

Outside the podium, Andrei tried to dress in a unisex style. Jeans, plain shirts, rough shoes, muted, mostly black and white. He used makeup very sparingly, he was afraid to look like a transvestite, which he is not. He preferred the word "androgyne", because his appearance is feminine by nature, and does not require adjustments with cosmetics and plastics.

Scandalous facts

Andrei Pezhich before and after the operation more than once became the hero of scandalous chronicles. According to the English entertainment magazine FHM in the summer of 2011, he took 98th place in the first hundred most beautiful women in the world (photo on the right).

He was mistakenly included in the online voting on the website of this publication. He received unanimous support from readers.

Having discovered an error, the editors banned the printed version of the magazine. The editorial apology for the typo was posted on the website.

In it, the editors spoke impartially about Andrey, calling him “it” (thing). This greatly hurt and offended the representatives of Pejic.

Later, the editorial staff of the magazine apologized to him. Andrei reacted calmly to the incident, with irony. He only asked, is it really only 98th place?

People are interested in everything that goes beyond the usual, he said, and this is his trump card. He ignores gender barriers, provokes excitement and outrage in a society accustomed to the traditional image of a man. About his fellow models, he said that behind the scenes they flirt with him, although many of them have girls.

For him, experimenting with his genetics is just entertainment. He doesn't fight, he just plays with it.

The next scandal, in May 2011, is associated with the two largest American chain stores selling books (Borders and Barnes & Noble), which refused to take on the publication (Dossier). The cover featured a shocking photo (left).

They demanded that the publishing house that printed the magazine replace the cover. This bare-chested boy could be mistaken for a topless young girl, they said. Magazine founder Skye Parrott replied that this was exactly the effect they expected by placing such a strong androgynous fashion model on the cover.The circulation of the publication has grown many times after this scandal.

Personal life before and after surgery

Andrei Pezhich, before sex reassignment surgery, experienced a feeling of internal split. At one time he even considered himself gay, but then he realized that he was just different. And after the operation, as before, Andrei believes that the issue of gender and sexual orientation is much more complicated than it seems.

He says that he has no explicit sexual preferences, love has no boundaries. He likes women and men alike. He has come to terms with his ambiguity, but he feels his loneliness in this world full of conventions and prejudices. He also admitted that sex is important for him only when there is a feeling.

The romance with Rembrandt Durand, the main creative ideologist of the Adeen accessories line, began in 2012, in the summer. They met on the set of an advertisement for women's swimwear, appeared together at parties, social gatherings, and posted numerous joint photos.

Outwardly, this is an ordinary beautiful heterosexual couple. Information about Andrei's wedding to Rembrandt appeared in 2013, the media even published a marriage certificate. Later it turned out that it was a fake.

He began to like the combination of masculine and feminine principles.

Giving preference to the female image, in 2013 he happily posed nude for a Brazilian magazine, which published a photo of his handsome male beauty, muscular body.

The young man hoped that the operation would save him from the sad fate of being a black sheep among "normal" people. He was tired of the heightened unhealthy interest of others in his person. His career refuted gender stereotypes, but he dreamed of living in harmony with his own body, to be accepted in society as he is.

The changes affected only his physiology, he noted. His personality remained the same, internally he did not change. He calls it not reincarnation, but development, evolution, the acquisition of inner harmony, because now he externally and internally is a single whole, he is now she, a woman.

Today her name is Andrea Pejic and she received a new passport. She announced her gender reassignment surgery in January 2014, in July 2014. The sex reassignment operation itself is a multi-stage, difficult, long process.

2. Socio-psychological adaptation. A person must be observed by a psychiatrist for at least a year, learn to feel like a representative of the opposite sex.
3. Hormone therapy to lower testosterone levels... Taking female sex hormones (estrogens) for the formation of the mammary glands and getting rid of excess hair, which is typical for men.
4. Removal of the male genital organ and the formation of the female vagina. After the operation, the patient retains erogenous sensitivity and is able to experience an orgasm.
5. Multiple plastic surgery in order to make the face more feminine, to reduce the Adam's apple, to change the timbre of the voice.
6. Receiving new documents.

Andrei had to go through all this, except for plastic surgery. He endured everything, not even for a minute doubting his decision, called the operation the last part of a difficult path to his dream, the cherry on the cake.
