There’s no nudity at the link above. An excerpt:
Models are insecure, the same as everyone. We have bad days. We have good days too, of course, but we have help with hair, makeup, retouching and everything. The advice I have for girls is to chill. Don’t pressure yourself. Embrace yourself and be proud of who you are with your imperfections. It’s all in the mind, you know?
Um, this could be used as an argument against sex-reassignment surgery, but ¯_(ツ)_/¯.
And:
People have said that being transgender goes against the laws of nature, but they’re the same people who aren’t doing anything to help nature. If I want to get a sex change, it’s between myself and my body. I could hide it, but I don’t, because I respect people.
Well, we applaud the inclusion of global warming alarmism into the debate.
But before you make any “Hugh Hefner must be rolling over in his grave” jokes, this isn’t really a first for the magazine:

Exit question: Will Playboy actually treat Rau as they would any other monthly Playmate or is this sort of a Playmate-lite kind of deal?
