Transgender model Andreja Pejić told docs to BIN her discarded body parts after sex change op
The 24-year-old felt little nostalgia for her male anatomy and was even tempted to throw a “p**** party” following the life-changing surgery
THE world’s most famous transgender supermodel has revealed she told doctors to “throw away” her discarded body parts after her sex change operation.
Andreja Pejić, 24, felt little nostalgia for her male anatomy and was even tempted to throw a “p**** party” following the life-changing surgery.
Speaking to , the 6ft 1in Australian beauty spoke candidly about her transition.
“When I was little, the idea of waking up as a girl was like a fairytale,” she said.
“I had this idea that I'd meet a witch who would transform me. From the moment I found out that it was actually possible, I went to bed each night feeling that when it happens, it will be the best day of my life. And it was!”
Andreja was just eight years old when she and her mum immigrated to Melbourne in a bid to flee her war-torn home of Bosnia.
She was scouted as a model while working in McDonald’s aged 16, and has gone on to make a name for herself in the fashion industry, walking for the like of Marc Jacobs and Jean Paul Gaultier.
She was ranked number 98 in FHM's 100 Sexiest Women in the World in 2011, three years before she underwent sex reassignment surgery - and she has not looked back since.
On her gender reassignment surgery, Andreja said: “I never imagined I'd be so public about it.
“Perhaps if I was in a different profession, I wouldn't have worn ‘trans’ on my forehead.
“But there's a difference between not wanting to make a big deal out of something and fearing the effect it will have on my life.
“But it's all out there now. If I go on a date, I don't have to worry about that moment when he finds out.”

She said: “It's been great. And the best part if he sees me as just another girl he has a special connection with.”
Andreja is focused on the future but doesn't want to hide her past.
She said: “My dream was: start young, take hormones, live as a woman, try and become as passable as possible, bury your past, change your friends.
“Now I've realised that I don't have to be ashamed of my past.
“I can still own my story and it doesn't make me any less of a woman.
“I was born a girl, it just took me a little while to become one fully.”
