A model named Rain Dove became known in the fashion world due to her extraordinary appearance: she has a feminine figure with an impressive bust, but her facial features are more masculine. Her broad shoulders and height of 188 centimeters also distinguish her from other girls.
However, Rain did not always perceive herself as androgynous. Instead, she felt like an "ugly woman." But, fortunately, those days are over.
Today, Rain does not consider his unusual appearance a disadvantage and benefits from all his anatomical features. After all, she goes to the podium in both a female and a male image and equally successfully advertises clothes for both sexes.
It is this feature, from which a person in our society could go crazy, that the girl successfully uses for her career. Today she is considered one of the most popular bigender models in the world. Rain Dove manages to demonstrate women's and men's clothing, believing that any thing transforms on her.
In everyday life, 26-year-old Rain Dove is often mistaken for a transsexual, but this does not offend, but only amuses her. After all, now she uses these "misunderstandings" to her advantage.
She grew up on a small farm in Vermont. From early childhood, the girl was different from her peers, so it's not surprising that she was teased at school. Over time, she began to use a non-standard appearance for her own good, realizing her own uniqueness. "I wasn't really worried about it. I just thought I was destined to be born that way." Most of her classmates at that time could now envy the career that Rain managed to build.
Rain Dove has a really strong masculine beginning: before she got into the modeling business, she was a locksmith and a firefighter. "When I worked as a firefighter, all my colleagues were sure that I was a man," says Rain. — I agreed to this because I really needed a job, I was in the wilderness of Colorado. Therefore, I used the flexibility of my gender, thanks to which I gained experience in very different fields: from a nanny to a specialist in landscape architecture."
Now Rain is an activist and model who dresses in both women's and men's clothing.
Rain Dove likes to play with two sides of her personality, so in social networks she often shows photos in which she appears as a man and a woman in the same places.
"If I present myself as a woman, then the clothes I wear become feminine, regardless of what label the manufacturer has attached to it. If I appear in a male image, things become masculine the minute they touch my body. If I call myself an alien, the clothes will become alien simply because I put them on. We decide who to be," explains Rain Dove and agitates others to fight for gender diversity.
In his Instagram, Rain posts photos that undermine people's frozen ideas about gender and gender norms.
Rain shared her opinion about self-determination with journalists: "We are all fighting to be unique. And the best thing we can do is to become ourselves. Gender is a category that doesn't really exist. This is a social concept that we don't have to conform to. There are people who love you. There are people who will love you. There are people who will accept you, and I am one of them."
Rain Dove is one of the amazing women who have destroyed the established stereotypes of beauty.
