We all know and love today’s biggest and most famous national treasures such as Laverne Cox and Caitlyn Jenner, who are showing the world that trans is beautiful and the importance of living your best life.
But there are actually even more trans celebs who are entering the limelight, paving the way for more LGBTQ+ personalities to come to the forefront of today’s showbiz world.
Let’s take a look at some of the most inspiring and accomplished trans celebs in Hollywood today.
Lea T.
Model and activist Lea T. was already a household name for her work in both fashion and the LGBTQ+ advocacy before she was named the face of Redken cosmetics in 2014.
This was especially significant as she became the first openly transgender model to be the face of a major global cosmetics brand campaign.
“I love working with Redken because they appreciate all kinds of beauty,” the model said to Harper’s Bazaar. “They believe in the individuality of the person, and I think that’s really important.”
