Ines Rau is Playboy magazine’s first transgender Playmate, appearing in the marquee centerfold spot of the magazine’s November/December issue, which will be available Oct. 31.

The 26-year-old French fashion model first appeared in the magazine’s May 2014 issue in a feature exploring gender identity titled “Evolution.” In an interview published by Playboy last week, Rau said that participating in that spread had changed her life.

“I took that chance, and then I signed with an agency,” she said.

Playboy’s newest Playmate is not the first transgender woman to appear in the magazine. Caroline “Tula” Cossey appeared in a 1981 issue. She had appeared as an extra in the James Bond movie “For Your Eyes Only.” At the time, though, she was not public about her transgender status. She was featured again in 1991 after being outed as transgender.

Well as you can imagine there are some people who are not in favor of a trans playmate, in the Huffington Post they compare the letters to the editor to when they had their first black playmate,

Playboy responded to backlash against its first transgender Playmate with a series of tweets comparing recent social media reactions to reader letters about its first black Playmate in 1965.

The adult entertainment magazine made history last week when it announced Ines Rau would become the first openly transgender person to be named a Playmate. The move drew criticism from some users on social media, and, perhaps most notably, former porn star and Playboy cover model Jenna Jameson.

“I have a problem with it just like I have a problem with a transgender competing against biological women in sports,” she tweeted Thursday. “I think it’s setting fire to an iconic brand and pandering to this ridiculous PC world we live in.”

Jameson went on to claim that she is not transphobic ― though Twitter activity from the star seems to indicate otherwise.

Okay, you think that is bad? Get a load of the comments on the Huffington Post article…

If you enjoy looking at women, and they start publishing pictures of guys...there's other places to look. There is nothing sacred about Playboy, it's just another magazine. Kind of like, back in the day, when a rock radio station went to a country format. You just stop listening, and send them a letter asking to change back. It's between the business and the consumer. No reason to get on the bully pulpet [sic] about it

And he got 7 thumbs up!

Whenever they have a playmate that is not a white cis-female the bigots are going to crawl out of the woodwork and spew their hate.
