Lea T, Transsexual Model, And Kate Moss Kiss For Love Magazine (PHOTO)

Transsexual model Lea T. and Kate Moss shared a moment for the upcoming cover of Love magazine. The ladies aren't the only ones who will be featured on the glossy's "Androgyny Issue" -- pint-sized pop star Justin Bieber also bagged his own cover, the Telegraph UK reports.

Editor Katie Grand told the Telegraph how she met Riccardo Tisci's muse, Lea T., remembering, "I was by the pool at the Copacabana Palace Hotel when I saw her. At first I didn't notice her gender, just that she was wearing Givenchy couture and looked amazing!"

Check out Lea and Kate's cover. The issue hits newsstands February 8.

I simply don't know why Kate is a model.

She is extraordinary. She is the perfect model. If you can't see that, it's you, not the rest of the world.

If it was 1924 it would have been transgressive, but in 2011 it's just a bit boring, isn't it?

In the continuing stake of de sexualizing fashion and by extension the hyperbole that surrounds it (even though paradoxically it is used to sell and position merchandise and ideas that draw on sexual innuendo) the fashion world has once again reinvigorated itself by continuing to position the neutral state of gender.

Which is to say, sexiness no longer hinges on distinct female or male hegemony definitions but rather the aberration of said definitions. Which is not to say all sex or the idea of it is dissolved, it’s just now the subjects are depicted like young amorphous Ancient Greek kouros sculptures reveling in it- but with barely a trace of personal emotion. Thus neutral androgynous figures partaking in amorous states of undress or to be correct redress.

In short to be as far away as overt sexuality has become the new hyper sexual, especially with the guise of the androgynous or neutral.

If both subjects are idealized as female where is the androgyny? There is no sexual ambiguity portrayed here. There is no masculine here. This is not necessarily sexy but it is very feminine.
