8 Trans Celebrities Breaking Boundaries in Hollywood

After showing off photos of her changing style and appearance on Instagram for a year, Tommy Dorfman announced she's trans in an interview with Time in July 2021.

"I kept, on Instagram, a diaristic time capsule instead—one that shows a body living in a more fluid space," she explained about her decision to continue posting on social media. "However, I’ve learned as a public-facing person that my refusal to clarify can strip me of the freedom to control my own narrative. With this medical transition, there has been discourse about my body, and it began to feel overwhelming. So, recently I looked to examples of others who have come out as trans. There’s the version I couldn’t really afford to do, which is to disappear for two years and come back with a new name, new face and new body. But that’s not what I wanted."
