The model's profile is in the May 2015 issue, in which she details her life and how she is portrayed in the world of fashion.

The 23-year-old model was born in what is now known as Bosnia-Herzegovina, just before the start of the Bosnian War, which led to her family fleeing to a refugee camp before leaving for Melbourne, Australia.

On Tuesday, the model explained to Vogue how growing up was especially while attempting to restrain herself from acting feminine to prevent bullying at school.

"I wanted to stop puberty in its early tracks," Pejic revealed, adding, "I was worried about my feet being too big, my hands being too big, my jawline being too strong."

Just last year, Pejic underwent gender-confirmation surgery, which was formerly known as gender-reassignment surgery, to transition into being a female.

"Society doesn't tell you that you can be trans," she said, adding, "I thought about being gay, but it didn't fit..."

She tried to be "normal" and "a boy," but it didn't feel right.

In society "there are just more categories now," the model shared, adding, "It's good. We're finally figuring out that gender and sexuality are more complicated."

On Tuesday, the model shared on Instagram a photo of her profile and her overwhelming emotions.

"Ugh sorry can't help myself having a moment!!!!" she beamed with a lot of hashtags.
