補充：[LGBT] Style.com獨家專訪：Andreja Pejić變性後首度真情告白（中文翻譯）
應讀者要求，第五篇Andrej文在這個冷颼颼的冬季裡熱燙燙地出爐囉！這次除了不能免俗的美圖分享之外，我也翻譯了兩篇最新的採訪內容，其中談到了Andrej的拍照尺度底線、給其他氣質陰柔的年輕男孩的建議、面對仇恨與歧視的應對方式，還有Andrej以年度澳洲風雲人物的身分進入白金漢宮面會英國女王伊莉莎白二世的經過。
噢對了，也在此恭喜Andrej獲選OUT雜誌年度潮流人物！
首先是OUT雜誌的平面採訪稿：
Catching Up With Andrej Pejic
與Andrej Pejic話家常
11.14.2011 BY WILLIAM VAN METER
Out: The press highlights you as an intersection of many things, including a man who can walk in women's shows (and is super comfortable with it) and Croat/Serb or Australian. How do you define yourself?
問：媒體將你標記為許多不同特徵的交叉點，包括你是個可以非常自在地走女裝秀的男人，以及你是克羅埃西亞與賽爾維亞混血的澳洲人。你是如何定義自己的呢？
Pejic: Define, refine, constrict, package, and sell... No thank you. I would like to live in a world where your gender, nationality, sexual orientation, and, above all, financial status didn't affect the opportunities you are given in life, the way you're treated by others, and your overall freedom. In a world like that, I wouldn't be given such a complex definition.
答：定義、琢磨、壓縮、包裝、銷售......不了，謝謝您。我希望能夠活在一個不論什麼性別、國籍、性向──更重要的是不論什麼經濟條件──都不會危及一個人應得的機會、社會待遇，以及個人自由的世界。在那樣的世界裡，我就不會被定義成這麼複雜的樣子了。
Out: Most people would think that the world of male modeling would be populated by a huge number of gay guys, which in reality is not true. What is it like for you backstage working at a men's show?
問：絕大多數人都斷定男模圈裡一定滿滿都是gay，但這並不是事實。你在男裝秀後台有什麼樣的經驗呢？
Pejic: The male modeling industry is like the army, very straight but very gay. Most male models have girlfriends, but backstage, when no one is looking, they like to pinch me. Working with them is fun—I have a lot of male model friends.
答：男模工業就像軍中一樣，大家都非常直(異性戀)但很愛耍gay。大部分的男模都有自己的女朋友，但是在後台，當沒有閒雜人等在旁邊窺看的時候，他們都喜歡捏著我玩 (譯按：所以Andrej很好捏就是了>////<)。和男模一起工作是很有趣的事情，我有很多男模朋友。
Out: Advertising is such a barometer of what the mass market deems acceptable, and you've made a major stab into the mainstream with advertisements for Marc by Marc Jacobs and Gaultier. Do you think it's harder for you to book advertisements as opposed to other male models?
問：廣告就像是市場接受度的風向球，而你已經藉由拍攝Marc by Marc Jacobs和Gaultier的廣告震驚了主流市場。你認為這樣會讓你比其他男模更難接到廣告工作嗎？
Pejic: Well, the media has definitely jumped on the bandwagon. The people, it seems, are coming on fast, now we're just waiting for the clients to catch up. The truth is I have to work twice as hard to be taken as seriously as the top girls. I understand that it will take time for me to prove that I'm actually a good model once you look past the media hype and the uniqueness of my looks. But hey, I'm not the first that has had to fight.
答：嗯，媒體確實搭上了這個順風車。大家好像都在趕這種中性風潮，現在我們只要靜候客戶找上門就夠了。不過事實是，想被認真視為一流女裝代言人，我得比別人付出兩倍的努力。我很明白當我的外貌刺激出來的媒體狂熱退燒之後，我必須花上很多時間才能證明自己真的是一個優質模特兒。但是，嘿，我又不是世上第一個必須努力奮鬥去追求成功的人。
Out: You seem pretty fearless in your career, easily doing men's and women's and—to be a bit crude—having the balls to wear a skirt or dress (and wear it well). Is there anything that has been demanded of you at a shoot that you've said no to?
問：看來你在你的事業中似乎是毫無畏懼，不僅男女裝通殺──容我說得粗俗點──還有膽識(在英文中是蛋蛋)把裙子或晚禮服穿得美艷動人。你在拍攝時裝作品時曾被要求過什麼讓你說NO的事情嗎？
Pejic: My philosophy is “take it and work it!” No matter what! Although, I have been asked to get aroused for a shot. I declined. I like to serve beauty, not porn.
我的哲學是無論如何「什麼都肯接、什麼都去試」！不過話說回來，有個攝影師曾要求拍我勃起的畫面，我還是拒絕了。畢竟，我希望我服務的對象是美感，而不是色情。
Out: Everyone is going nuts about you meeting the queen and wearing a Versace skirt to do it. How'd you pick your outfit?
問：每個人聽到你穿著Versace的裙子去拜見英國女王都快瘋掉了。當時你是怎麼挑衣服的？
Pejic: I was tempted to wear a suit, like a nice fitted tuxedo, but it didn't work out in the end. So I went for a '90s Sharon Stone-inspired look. And the hair added some youth to the situation. The palace was beautiful—I felt right at home. And let's face it, we all love a good Queen.
答：我本來是想穿西裝的，像是一套合身的燕尾服，但到最後似乎還是不太合適。所以我搭配出了一套90年代沙朗史東風格的服裝，也放下頭髮以加入一點年輕的氣息。英國皇宮很美，我一進宮就覺得舒服到好像回自己家一樣。咱們就承認了吧，人人都愛英國的好女王。

在下面這段訪問影片中，Andrej談到了性別刻板印象和歧視霸凌 (其他以前翻譯過的老梗問題就不再贅述了)：
問：有很多住在保守鄉下的美國男孩也像你一樣偷偷對陰柔的事物感興趣，想要去玩女裝什麼的，你有什麼話想對他們說嗎？
答：與眾不同是沒關係的。別害怕，儘管去嘗試、去探索，不要為了別人的眼光而壓抑你自己。
問：那遇到霸凌時該怎麼辦？當人們對你的衣著行為指指點點、口出惡言怎麼辦？
答：總有一天你會發現不論遭受到什麼樣的對待，真實做自己才是唯一能讓你打從心底感到快樂的事情。沒有任何霸凌、仇恨或歧視可以奪走這份對自己誠實的快樂。你必須勇敢地把真正的你釋放出來。有時候人們比較缺乏管道去認識性向和性別氣質這方面的事情，也因此難免比較無知。我猜，仇恨或歧視非我族類的行為，其實只是出於知識的不足而已。釋放自己，幫助大家打開心胸吧！

最後就是大家期待已久的美圖時間囉！ENJOY!
個人認為這兩張很MAN (>////<)
最後是國外粉絲利用本文第一張圖加工自製的Andrej名言海報XD
Andrej：對一個男人最大的侮辱就是把他叫成「娘們」，難道女人是某種遠不及男人的次等生物嗎？
