Androgynous model Andrej Pejic has publicly announced her gender reassignment surgery and will now be known as Andreja Pejic.

Speaking exclusively to People, Andreja said "I always dreamt of being a girl. One of my earliest memories is spinning around in my mom's skirt trying to look like a ballerina."

"I want to share my story with the world because I think I have a social responsibility,” she explained. "I hope that by being open about this, it becomes less of an issue."

Posting on her @andrej_pejic Twitter page on Friday, Andreja wrote, “I've made som changes :) please go to ‪@andrejapejic.”

Our favourite tweets from Andreja so far include, “Karen Walker (Will & Grace) you have literally shaped my humor for life!” and “I have to say nothing feels better then being a born again virgin :D lol.”

Speaking of which, Virgin Territory – MTV’s new show following the lives of 15 young adults navigating the world of virginity, sex, love and temptation – kicks off on August 4th at 9pm, only on MTV.
