Bibiana Fernández
Also known as Bibi Andersen — or by the full name, Bibiana Manuela Fernández Chica, this trans personality is a Spanish actress, TV presenter, and model who was born on February 13, 1954. Fernández’s most well-known performances can be seen in” Rowing with the Wind,” “Law of Desire,” and “Matador,” among others.
The Spanish actress completed her transition in 1991 and, three years later, legally changed her name. In the love department, the performer was married to the Cuban model Asdrúbal Ametlle. Sadly that marriage only lasted a couple of years, but we are sure Bibiana is doing just fine!
Lauren Harries
Born James Charles Harries, this popular British star got a unique start in the limelight. While many trans performers take to the stage as singers, actors, or even dancers, Harries was appearing on TV at just the age of 13 discussing art and antique furniture in bow ties like a man five times his age. Years later that Lauren would transition to a woman. But it wasn't easy.
Being in the limelight at such a young age came at a cost, and she became the victim of a lot of torment and bullying. Still, that didn't stop the trans icon. Harries continued to appear in a number of reality shows as a woman, including "Celebrity Big Brother," "Big Brother’s Bit on the Side," and "This Morning."
Marie Pierre Pruvot
One of the most interesting things about the trans world is picking your own fabulous birth name, and this is one pretty great. This French performer is also known as Marie-Pier Yasser or Bambi. She was born in Algeria on November 11, 1935, and was simply destined to be on stage.
Pruvot was a showgirl for the good part of 20 years and has frequently appeared in documentaries relating to performance and gender throughout her career. She was also in the award-winning documentary film "Bambi," which detailed her life. When not in front of the camera, Pruvot is also a literature teacher.
Eva Robin
Of course, the trans community goes far beyond the bounds of the United States, and you can find many trans celebrities around the world. Eva Robin, the Italian trans activist, is an example of this. Robin has claimed that she felt her true identity as young as 13 years old. Robin expressed how comfortable she is with her body and that she has no need for additional procedures.
As a vocal trans personality, Robin has fought her hardest to protect LGBTQ community rights. Aside from that, she also models and acts and is probably most known for her appearance in Dario Argentino’s film "Tenebrae."
Dominique Jackson
As time passes and the world opens up, trans personalities find themselves more and more in the mainstream. Such is the case for Dominique Jackson. This actress, author, model, and reality television personality landed in the spotlight over her leading role in the FX television series "Pose."
The series has garnered major critical acclaim (as does with anything that Ryan Murphy is involved in.) Aside from her starring role in the hit show, Jackson appeared in other shows like "Chick Fight" and "American Gods" and even bagged herself a GLAAD Award nomination for her part in the reality TV series "Strut."
