24 Of Transgender Celebrities Who Inspire Us

Elliot Fletcher

Unlike some celebrities who have their transgender identity revealed unwillingly, actor and musician Elliot Fletcher has chosen to be open about his transition journey.

As he explained in an interview with the New York Times, "I happily tell people because my goal in life is not only to become a successful musician but also, a trans advocate. I have so much love for my trans family and I want to spread that love as much as I can."

Rather than keep his personal story private, Fletcher sees an opportunity to increase awareness and support for the trans community by candidly discussing his own experiences. His openness provides an inspiring example of a transgender person thriving in the public eye.
