    I'm doing a presentation at school with my best friend about 10 Common LGBT+ Identities and a "celebrity" to go with each one, however there's very few trans guys that I can find. At the moment I'm going with Chaz Bono (son of Sonny and Cher) but he's not very well known especially to 15 year olds now. The only other people I could find who may fit the description are a porn star (who my best friend says absolutely not to), Miles McKenna (although I thought he's nonbinary?), Alex Bertie and Ryan Cassata. I am trying to stay away from YouTubers though and I was wondering if anyone else could come up with anyone else?

    I can’t offer any more knowledge on famous trans guys, sorry there, but on the question whether Miles in non-binary, he recently confirmed that he is a ftm trans guy. His coming out as non-binary acted more as something to give him the space and environment to figure himself out without expectations being placed upon him, from what I understood of the situation anyway.

    Edit: was on phone at the same time as I was typing this, my boyfriend recommended checking out Elliot Fletcher, they’re a trans guy and famous for their role in which they played a trans guy in the programme Faking It.

    Here's some that I could find:
    -Balian Buschbaum was a German pole vaulter before his transition.
    -Laith Ashley is a model.
    -Ian Harvie is a comedian.
    -Willmer "Little Ax" Broadnax was a gospel quartet singer.
    -Andreas Krieger is a former German shot-putter.
    -Lucas Silveira is a singer-songwriter in a rock band.
    -Katastrophe is a rapper.

    Honestly there's not really any famous trans men quite on the same level of "celebrity" as there is for the other common LGBT identities. One other option I haven't seen mentioned yet in this thread is Chris Mosier, he's an athelete and was featured in an ad for Nike during the Olympics last year.

    Yea there really aren't any famous household-name-type trans guys. Maybe going with an athlete is the best bet for a school project.
