For a brand that has struggled with criticism that it is anachronistic and out of touch, Ms. Sampaio’s selection was seen by some as a step whose time was past due.

anachronistic 时代错误的

“Wow finally!” Laverne Cox, who has spoken publicly about her own breakthroughs as a transgender actress, wrote on Ms. Sampaio’s Instagram post.

In 2018, Ed Razek, the chief marketing officer for Victoria's Secret's parent company, sparked controversy with his comments in an interview with Vogue, saying he didn't think the brand should include "transsexuals" in its show.

2018年，维密母公司首席市场营销官艾德·拉泽克（Ed Razek）在接受Vogue采访时的一则言论引起了广泛争议，他当时说参与维密走秀的模特中不应出现“变性人”。

In November, Mr. Razek was quoted as saying he did not think the company needed to cast models who are “transsexuals” in Victoria’s Secret shows. He later apologized, saying on the company’s Twitter account that his remark “came across as insensitive.”

拉泽克在维密推特账户上发布了一篇声明，他写道：“我关于维密时装秀接纳变性模特的话未考虑到他人感受。我道歉。”

“To be clear, we absolutely would cast a transgender model for the show,” he said.

“更明确地说，我们维密秀一定会让跨性别模特参与拍摄。”

“We’ve had transgender models come to castings...and like many others they didn’t make it...But it was never about gender. I admire and respect their journey to embrace who they really are.”

GLAAD, which promotes lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues, said Ms. Sampaio’s hiring comes as transgender people are becoming more visible in advertising, including in campaigns by Calvin Klein, Gap and H&M.

GLAAD，前称Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation（同性恋者反诋毁联盟）是一个美国非政府媒体监测组织，由媒体业中的LGBT人士创办。

Victoria’s Secret is still a leading lingerie brand in the United States, but its share of the market has fallen as it tries to keep up with the times.

Its fashion shows featuring skinny models, thongs and push-up bras have often been criticized as sexist and out of touch, and new lingerie start-ups, including Third Love and Savage X Fenty, are rising as competitors that embrace inclusivity.

“If you can’t modernize, if you can’t escape your roots from where you started, you are going to struggle to stay relevant,” said Mette H. Kurth, a bankruptcy lawyer who worked with Frederick’s of Hollywood, said on Monday. “And that is their struggle right now. Their core identity is based on what now feels outdated by women.”

The model Karlie Kloss recently told Vogue that she had decided to stop working with Victoria’s Secret because the image was not “truly reflective” of who she was and the “kind of message I want to send to young women around the world about what it means to be beautiful.”

Growing up, the 22-year-old says she was never a victim of anti-trans discrimination, she told Brazil's Diario do Nordeste newspaper. She said her mother, a teacher, her father, a fisherman, always respected her chosen identity.

瓦伦蒂娜已经长大了，22岁的她说自己从来不是反跨性别歧视的受害者。在接受巴西Diario do Nordeste报纸采访时，她透露妈妈是一位教师，爸爸是一位渔民，父母向来尊重她对自己身份的选择。

'At age eight, my mother took me to a psychologist. At that time, I already loved being around girls. I felt like one of them, and I ha a collection of dolls,' Sampaio said.

“在我八岁的时候，妈妈带我去看一位心理学家。那时，我已经喜欢上了周围环绕着一群女生的感觉。我想成为她们中的一员，并且我收藏了不少布娃娃”，瓦伦蒂娜说。

'The psychologist understood at the time that I was transgender. Twelve years old, I started to call myself Valentina, a name I heard once and I thought was beautiful.'

“那时，心理学家已经知道我是一位变性人。从12岁开始，我给自己起了一个‘瓦伦蒂娜’的名字，这个名字是我偶然间听到的，我认为这个名字很美。”

“People in my hometown always treated me normally. I have always been a girl and I’ve never felt any different. And that’s what I transmitted to people.”

“我家乡的人一直很正常地看待我，我从没有觉得自己和别人有什么不同，这样是我向所有人传递出的我的态度。”
