Playboy featured its first trans Playmate and she is beyond gorgeous

You go, Playboy! Four for you, Playboy!

Playboy has always seemed to be a magazine hellbent on pushing and breaking boundaries and its latest move? Putting transgender model Ines Rau on the cover of the upcoming November 2017 issue.

Ines has modeled for the magazine before, but this is her first time on the cover. Similarly, it's Playboy's first time having a transgender model star as a Playmate.

Ines fits right in with the gorgeous women of Playboy's past while simultaneously helping to bring Playboy into an inclusive future.

I’m all for trans women rights but playboy is a men magazine to show case natural born women. Sorry not sorry

There's no room for your hate and bigotry here, assholes. Go back to the goblin cave where you dwell and let the rest of us get on with the 21st century.

And you, Ines? Keep being you, girl. You're fucking gorgeous and fabulous and congratulations on making history.

The level of detail in the breakdowns — 56 percent Irish, 20 percent Balkan, 12 percent Iberian — isn't something you could get from a conversation with your grandma. And it's…
