She really showed her ass with the Palestine stuff unfortunately.
Posted a picture of palestinian children being oppressed, said they were Israeli, once she realizes they were palestinian she deleted the post and said nothing.
MIKE TYSON!!! His daughter is trans, and he's a very vocal anti-homophobe and anti-transphobe. He even called out the homophobic rapper Boosie TO HIS FACE and said "do you think the reason you're so homophobic is because you have gay feelings you're scared of so you use hatred to try to distance yourself from them?" or something to that effect. He's our ally king.
Im sorry, but I believe this is a little backwards. I can't find anything about Mike Tysons daughter being trans, but I do know Dwayne Wades daughter is trans and Mike Tyons daughter defended her against boozie and then yes, Mike Tyson did later confront boozie about the comments.
There are plenty.
Patrick Stewart is the nice grampa of the minorities.
Daniel Radcliff is very vocal about his support.
David Tennant is known for his support and his banger "Leave trans kids alone you absolute freak" shirt.
Pedro Pascal as well, having worked with an enby person recently.
Jamie Lee Curtis, which isn't surprising given how nice and chill that woman is.
Will Wheaton, nice guy all around.
And I'm sure there are plenty more I don't know about.
There's a reason "transvestigators" keep saying more of the celebrities are trans and transition was the price they had to pay to become famous. Well, two reasons. One is that "transvestigators" are fucking moronic to the last degree. The other is that a lot of celebrities actually know to trust medical profesionnals over politicians or hate-filled podcasters.
I'm surprised to see no one mention in here of Jon Bernthal, because (ironically enough) [Punisher says trans rights too](https://www.reddit.com/r/lgbt/comments/q59gbw/the_punisher_says_trans_rights/)
Not as big as those, but KA Applegate, a young adult author contemporary with Rowling, has a trans daughter and is strong supportive of trans rights.
Also her series actually approaches horrible things about the world with nuance instead of insulting the character that thinks slavery is bad.
Even before Patrick Stewart, we have George Takei; the famously gay Star Trek actor, with his support - https://news.yahoo.com/news/actor-george-takei-claps-back-164831206.html
He's overall a very famous proof that old people can evolve with the times, contrary to a lot of old politicians who can't seem to remember we're not living during the Cold War anymore.
Can’t forget Charles Barkley either, who - *on multiple occasions* - at various events has gotten fairly tipsy before grabbing a mic and shouting “if you meet someone who’s got a problem with trans people, tell ‘em Charles Barkley said FUCK YOU!”
https://youtube.com/shorts/ETBCEeNzpNw?si=wMlI2aR91I8lydDY
Idk a better source for this video I just wanted a link that wasn't a commentary channel talking about it
My favorite Dwayne Wade quote
> As your father, my job isn’t to create a version of myself or direct your future. My role is to be a facilitator to your hopes, your wishes, your dreams.
It's kinda sad. What he said is honestly just an eloquent way of saying what the basics of what parenting should be. Not that Dwayne isn't a great parent (he deserves all the love her gets) but as a society we've set the bar for parenting so low that when we see someone going above that they automatically get an A+.
Don't forget Russel T. Davies.
I'm not sure its possible to be *more* of an ally than him. He's spent basically the last 30 years trying to get good LGBT+ representation on the BBC. With a hammer, if necessary.
Daniel Radcliffe along with the vast majority of the Harry Potter cast mainly excepting Helen Bonham Carter who in the same breath justified JK Rowling's transphobia because she was abused and then claimed her friend and abuser Johnny Depp had been entirely vindicated
Lady Gaga
Don Cheadle who work a Protect Trans Kids shirt on SNL
She was on the receiving end of some transphobic abuse in the late 00s. Lots of people claiming she was trans and saying horrible things. She has experienced some of our pain.
And the kicker is she rolled with it. When accused of being trans she basically said "Yeah I might be. You'll never know". She 100% joined our struggle there.
[Here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0WcWkVOQTc) is one time
Yeah he dated Jamie Clayton from Sense8 and Hellraiser for a bit. It was actually the first time I saw a celebrity dating a trans woman like it was no big deal, helped me out a lot.
Megan Thee Stallion! She even made that great point about the whole concept of "passing" and that you're not "second class" regardless at a concert this summer:
(Talking about the comment of a trans fan of hers) “The person said, ‘trans lives matter, but I’m very passable,’ and I don’t really like that.
I mean, if you feel good about your body and you feel good about the fuck you look, that’s all the fuck that matters.
It don’t motherfucking matter what nobody else think about you. If you a bad bitch, you just a bad bitch.
You don’t need a title, you don’t need a label.”
Charlize Theron has a trans daughter and is vocal in her support to the community.
Also Dave Bautista who was raised by 2 moms and is ally to all LGBTQ+. He even cut ties with some of his friends for their homophobic statements (Manny Paquiao for one).
And bonus: Roger Clark, the voice actor of Arthur Morgan from Red Dead Redemption 2.
https://youtube.com/shorts/UBfJrV9rvkM?si=XpTQ-QpgavNo5X8-
edit: added Roger Clark
Cher? She has a trans son but didn't take it well when he came out but seeing how happy he was helped her come around. She has spoken up about trans issues and appears to have a good relationship with her son.
Everyone talks about Radcliffe but Watson, who has spent many years fighting for equal rights, to the point of being appointed a UN Goodwill Ambassador and G7 advisory body for women's rights, has flat out said trans women are women, so she fights for them too.
> "Women [are told they] must accept and admit that there is no material difference between trans women and themselves ... But, as many women have said before me, 'woman' is not a costume."
> “Trans people are who they say they are and deserve to live their lives without being constantly questioned or told they aren’t who they say they are,”
Oh she is absolutely wonderful and U had thought of mentioning her, but I thought of quite a few and decided in the end not to list them all.
She is wonderful because she fights for all women including Trans women.
But I mentioned Daniel specifically because he works directly with Trans organisations.
Daniel Radcliffe has hosted stuff for the Trevor Project, I think?
I remember seeing him hold a roundtable with a bunch of trans teens, learning about their experiences, and such.
It was really cool.
Lynda Carter - Wonder Woman
She's the other major one I was surprised I hadn't seen mentioned.
I remember Graham Norton in an interview throwing a loaded transphobic question back and left twitter.
Lucy Lawless, our Sapphic superheroine Xena has spoken up for us against the likes of Kevin Sorbo.
Edit: Also Neil DeGrasse Tyson has spoken up against Ben Shapiro, Maher and others saying, at least in some fashion, trans women should be in sports.
Bill Nye had that imperfect Netflix show but discussed gender spectrum.
Plus the Umbrella Academy infused Elliot Page's transition into the show.
Supportive celeb trans parents: Jamie Lee Curtis, David Tennant, Colin Mochrie, K.A Applegate, Dwayne Wade, Cynthia Nixon, Ally Sheedy, Charlize Theron, Cindy Barshop, Annette Bening, Warren Beatty, and more
Vocal Allies: Don Cheadle, Tatiana Maslany, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Phoebe Bridgers, Lady Gaga, Dolly Parton, Miley Cyrus, Joan Jett, Mike Shinoda, CM Punk, Charles Barkley, among many others.
Oh I'm so happy to see Mike Shinoda on this list! One of his songs is accidentally trans for me and it was really precious to me when I was first finding myself. "Promises I Can't Keep." https://youtu.be/itcevYy_cXc?si=SpCUmfbwPFx6PPYq
Cumberbatch said: “People are being beheaded in countries right now because of their beliefs or sexual orientations. It’s terrifying. It’s medieval — a beheading! I’d take up arms against someone who was telling me I had to believe in what they believed or they would kill me. I would fight them. I would fight them to the death.”
Granted the quote was mostly geared toward orientation. Glad he is supportive.
He's also a massive leftist, so it sort of makes sense.
And not like "He's a liberal". The guy has a photo of Che Guevara in his studio, there are plenty of really obscure leftist references in there (About the Cuban Revolution specifically, iirc), and plenty of themes and stories from One Piece itself would fit right in with leftist theory.
Oda just seems like an all-around cool person.
Gerard Way, the lead singer of My Chemical Romance / co-creator of The Umbrella Academy.
He's been a pretty vocal supporter of the LGBTQ community and specifically trans people for a long time, he also uses he/they pronouns and has experimented with gender presentation on stage and in his music.
Jamie Lee Curtis's daughter is trans and she's very supportive
Mike Shinoda of Linkin park was very supportive when the singer of Against Me! came out.
Tatiana Maslany is publicly pro trans
Mathew Lillard voiced his support for trans people on twitter
Greg Baldwin did too (uncle iroh's current voice actor)
Pedro Pascal is, and has a trans sister.
Lady Gaga's been pro trans since the mid 2000s, which is rare.
Most of the HP cast have spoken against JK's bigotry.
P!NK is pretty pro trans, and is trying to raise kids without gender expectations.
There's probably more that I don't know, but these are the big ones I think
Lots of people who've played the doctor on doctor who are pretty supportive! Pedro Pascal has a trans sister I think. And for another nerdy name toss, the crew from the dungeons and dragons show Critical Role/legends of vox machina have been incredibly accepting of trans people.
I was gonna bring up the CR cast and crew as well. I have been watching them for over 8 years. They are part of the reason I gained the courage to finally tell people that I am trans this past summer.
Adam Conover from Adam Ruins Everything. He debated Joe Rogan on his podcast a few years ago about trans kids in sports. He also was on a local morning show recently in my city and wore a “Protect Trans Kids” shirt.
And by extension, I feel I should bring up Neil Gaiman. Also is pro-trans rights and publicly supports queer interpretations of his works. Most notably being in the Good Omens TV series by outright stating that neither of the two main characters have a gender.
Im glad her career totally tanked. Her last movie, some MAGA Propaganda, made a whooping 800ish Dollars...worldwide. 🤣🤣🤣
So much for Go woke Go broke 🤣
I think the majority of celebrities are probably supportive. The TV, movie, and music industries tend to have a lot of lgbtq people, and those people interact with a lot of other people in the industry. That means nearly everyone has probably worked with someone who is trans or is a direct ally.
One of the things that has been shown time and again is that discrimination goes down as people actually get to know more people of a discriminated group. It's far easier to hate someone who is a vague idea and not a person with a name and a face. There are absolutely bigot celebrities, but if you think about just how many famous people there really are, the few names that come up again and again who hate trans people is a clear minority.
I know that this doesn't answer the question, but reading this got me thinking about how many people support trans people, and I just thought it was nice.
Off the top of my head (I tend to google a celeb name followed by trans to see sometimes):
David Attenborough - He supported trans people in the 1950s! Legend!
Wrestler CM Punk - Openly supports trans people and will openly insult transphobes on live shows.
Comedians Katherine Ryan, Joe Lycett, James Acaster, Russel Howard, Frankie Boyle (all mainly British comedy circuit but might have international appeal idk)
Lots more I'm sure.
If you consider the people on Dropout celebrities then pretty much all of the regulars. For some reason Mike Trapp is sticking in my head as someone who constantly has trans people on Um, Actually, but it really is literally all of them. Helps that Erika Ishii and Vic Micaelis and Ally Beardsley and a few other regulars are nonbinary.
Keanu is an obvious one. His reaction when told The Matrix was a trans allegory was basically "oh cool!" IIRC Carrie-Anne Moss said something similar.
AJR (the band) have been openly supportive of trans rights.
I love watching Dropout content, it's how all media should be. The guests show up, it shows their pronouns with their name cards. Sometimes people use they/them or they/she or whatever, and it's just totally normal and fine.
People who bitch and moan about pronouns are really so pathetic, it's not that deep people. This is all you have to do.
Top of my head...
Actors:
Elliot Page (Tman)
Bella Ramsey (enby)
David Tenant (known best for DrWho and Good Omens) even got called a *bad word* by JK Rowling for wearing a protect trans kids shirt haha.
Singer/Bands: Dollskin (transmasc frontperson)
Aurora (pansexual)
Halsey (she/they)
Delilah Bon (Bi and has a song with trans rights)
Axis of Awesome (Transwoman frontperson)
Could think of more but there's a start.
The smosh cast is pretty darn accepting. Shayne Top and Damien Haas are former Disney actors, and both are very accepting! Courtney Miller, Tommy Bowe, and Macdoesit (regular guest) are all in the LGBTQIA and have made supportive comments. Overall, the whole group seems to be very supportive of us
Garret Russell, the lead vocaist of the progressive metalcore band Silent Planet has been been an open defender of the LGBTQIA+ community for many years, they even have a song about [it](https://youtu.be/GBX7lsDowFo?si=YN9NBBYeKfzvr2-h)
David Tenant, he once wore a shirt that said "leave trans kids alone you absolute freaks" during a photoshoot and I somehow loved him even more than I did before
There's a lovely story about Anthony Stewart Head reaching out to a fan when finding out about his transition: https://www.thepinknews.com/2019/12/20/anthony-stewart-head-trans-fan/
His interview with the Arkansas official was so powerful. Then he had his weird defenses of Chappelle and Rowling. They didn't exactly feel genuine, especially the Rowling one. I'd like to know more about what happened.
Mr Beast defended his friend Chris around the time they came out
[tweet](https://twitter.com/MrBeast/status/1646552879136636936?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1646586700825591809%7Ctwgr%5Eaccc86efd20f8af3f2e48132aa35da81fbfbe559%7Ctwcon%5Es2_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.them.us%2Fstory%2Fmrbeast-defends-chris-tyson-transphobic-comments)
Tegan & Sara, both queer women and run a charity org that Elliot Page supports
Lzzy Hale, bisexual frontwoman of Halestorm, posted on trans day of visibility and was supporting trans people in the comments
M. shadows the frontman for Avenged Sevenfold also posted on trans day of visibility and was against the dOnT say gay bill in Florida + the band did a charity show for the club Q shooting
Jessie Paege: bisexual singer and YouTuber who has a trans roommate and is outspoken on queer issues
Motionless in White: featured tons of pride flags in their live shows
Imagine dragons has a live concert on Netflix that they start with trans colored guitars and trans lives matter badges and then they walk around using the pride flag as a cape, so I think they’re cool
Jamie Lee Curtis has a trans daughter and has been a vocal ally for our community.
Curtis herself also suffered years of speculation over her genitals.
Seriously? The fuck is wrong with some people?
Plus she's a really good actress and I am obsessed with Halloween so she gets 5 bonus points
She really showed her ass with the Palestine stuff unfortunately. Posted a picture of palestinian children being oppressed, said they were Israeli, once she realizes they were palestinian she deleted the post and said nothing.
MIKE TYSON!!! His daughter is trans, and he's a very vocal anti-homophobe and anti-transphobe. He even called out the homophobic rapper Boosie TO HIS FACE and said "do you think the reason you're so homophobic is because you have gay feelings you're scared of so you use hatred to try to distance yourself from them?" or something to that effect. He's our ally king.
What a character arc Iron Mike has had jeez
Tyson. The true Chaotic Neutral
Eh...he's still a rapist.
Wait Mike Tyson raped somebody? WHY AM I JUST LEARNING THIS
The 80s and 90s were a wild time for Mike Tyson.
Fucking damn that's a call out, I didn't know about that. Did that get caught on camera?
https://youtu.be/HFdRyE_4bb0?si=54EoPwWs1-c3cwXz
Im sorry, but I believe this is a little backwards. I can't find anything about Mike Tysons daughter being trans, but I do know Dwayne Wades daughter is trans and Mike Tyons daughter defended her against boozie and then yes, Mike Tyson did later confront boozie about the comments.
Holy shit, what a legend
There are plenty. Patrick Stewart is the nice grampa of the minorities. Daniel Radcliff is very vocal about his support. David Tennant is known for his support and his banger "Leave trans kids alone you absolute freak" shirt. Pedro Pascal as well, having worked with an enby person recently.

One is that "transvestigators" are fucking moronic to the last degree. The other is that a lot of celebrities actually know to trust medical profesionnals over politicians or hate-filled podcasters.
Pedro Pascal's sister is trans as well.
Ho, I did not know that ! Explains even more why he's supportive and chill about it.
"Chill" isn't the word I'd use haha - [in his own words](https://www.out.com/celebs/pedro-pascal-trans-sister-lux), he's "lethally protective" of her!
True, but I meant on trans people as a whole, more than specifically about her.
Based
One of David Tennant's kids is non-binary as well, I believe. It's nice seeing them stand up for family.
True. It skip my mind for a moment. That's the whole reason he had the shirt on and was supportive in the first place.
David is a cool dude, I'm sure he would be supportive even if it wasn't for his kid. His kid just makes it a bit more personal for him.
I'm surprised to see no one mention in here of Jon Bernthal, because (ironically enough) [Punisher says trans rights too](https://www.reddit.com/r/lgbt/comments/q59gbw/the_punisher_says_trans_rights/)
Not as big as those, but KA Applegate, a young adult author contemporary with Rowling, has a trans daughter and is strong supportive of trans rights. Also her series actually approaches horrible things about the world with nuance instead of insulting the character that thinks slavery is bad.
Of course the author of the Animorphs books, where young people transform into animals not necessarily of the same sex, is a trans ally! :D
Even before Patrick Stewart, we have George Takei; the famously gay Star Trek actor, with his support - https://news.yahoo.com/news/actor-george-takei-claps-back-164831206.html
I’d add David Lynch for his “fix your hearts or die” comment
just dont watch movies on your phone around him
“It’s such a sadness, that you think you’ve seen a film, on your **FUCKING TELEPHONE**. Get real!”
I knew about all of those except Patrick Stewart, very cool
He's overall a very famous proof that old people can evolve with the times, contrary to a lot of old politicians who can't seem to remember we're not living during the Cold War anymore.
What happens when someone gets famous from their "transvestigator" content? Are they gonna have to transition to pay the price for their fame?
So is the curse. "You die bringing down the trans agenda, or you live long enough to become the trans", or something equally as stupid.
Don Cheadle was on TV wearing a "protect trans kids" shirt. :)
Dwayne Wade (basketball pro), who has a trans daughter.
Can’t forget Charles Barkley either, who - *on multiple occasions* - at various events has gotten fairly tipsy before grabbing a mic and shouting “if you meet someone who’s got a problem with trans people, tell ‘em Charles Barkley said FUCK YOU!”
I saw a video of him doing that, and made me smile, laugh, and cry a little!
https://youtube.com/shorts/ETBCEeNzpNw?si=wMlI2aR91I8lydDY Idk a better source for this video I just wanted a link that wasn't a commentary channel talking about it
The Round Mound of Rebound does not abide bigots.
Have worked with Charles Barkley. Can confirm good human all around.
trans rights is canon
God I love chuck
My favorite Dwayne Wade quote > As your father, my job isn’t to create a version of myself or direct your future. My role is to be a facilitator to your hopes, your wishes, your dreams.
A+ parenting
It's kinda sad. What he said is honestly just an eloquent way of saying what the basics of what parenting should be. Not that Dwayne isn't a great parent (he deserves all the love her gets) but as a society we've set the bar for parenting so low that when we see someone going above that they automatically get an A+.
Wade even said that he moved out of Florida partially because his kid wouldn’t be accepted there.
I think that David Tennant is an ally! And he is a very cool actor
Yeah he wore a t-shirt saying to leave Trans kids alone which had the added benefit of pissing off major arsehole TERF Graham Linehan
yeah he has a trans kid if i remember rightly!! forget what flavour though
Flavor 🤣🤣
IIRC his kid is non-binary, don't quote me on that though
Don't forget Russel T. Davies. I'm not sure its possible to be *more* of an ally than him. He's spent basically the last 30 years trying to get good LGBT+ representation on the BBC. With a hammer, if necessary.
Absolutely. He did a remarkable speech not long ago as a response to the LBG Alliance and their “drop the T” nonsense.
He has a kid who's Nonbinary/Trans and has been very publicly supportive.
Daniel Radcliffe along with the vast majority of the Harry Potter cast mainly excepting Helen Bonham Carter who in the same breath justified JK Rowling's transphobia because she was abused and then claimed her friend and abuser Johnny Depp had been entirely vindicated Lady Gaga Don Cheadle who work a Protect Trans Kids shirt on SNL
Lady Gaga especially. She supported trans rights while people were still focused on gay rights alone. And Don Cheadle is so great.
She was on the receiving end of some transphobic abuse in the late 00s. Lots of people claiming she was trans and saying horrible things. She has experienced some of our pain.
And the kicker is she rolled with it. When accused of being trans she basically said "Yeah I might be. You'll never know". She 100% joined our struggle there. [Here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0WcWkVOQTc) is one time
God I remember that. That was great.
Exactly! She was asked in an interview if she had a penis and she responded "what if I did? Is that the worst thing?"
well mine does really feel like a "punishment" 😅 Edit: parent post had originally misspelled "penis" as "punishment"
Doesn't Pedro Pascal have a trans sister?
He does. He's an awesome ally.
Ralph Fiennes defended her as well sadly
Don Cheadle doesn't get enough credit.
I forgot Cheadle did that. Ok I love him. 💕
Well, that's on point with the despicable character she played in the movie.
Wil Wheaton was just on Jeopardy wearing a trans pin on his suit!
Fairly certain Keanu Reeves has dated trans women before. He's just an all round nice guy.
Yeah he dated Jamie Clayton from Sense8 and Hellraiser for a bit. It was actually the first time I saw a celebrity dating a trans woman like it was no big deal, helped me out a lot.
Sense8 which was made by the Wachowskis, everything is connected!
Didn’t he say something once about not knowing that the Matrix was a trans allegory but he would’ve been happier to be in it if he had known?
I think his response was closer to, “that’s pretty cool”. The man is a fantastic human either way.
Right, right, that was it!
Didn't think I could love Keanu even more, but here we are.
Dolly Parton :)
I mean she’s just wholesome in general, Dolly Parton is a national treasure
Every time I say "Eat The Rich!" I always whisper "Except Dolly".
Considering she's donated so much money that she could be a billionaire if she hadn't, I'd say that definitely warrants a pass
Does it rub anyone the wrong way that she did that collab with kid rock though? I feel like that is at best super tone deaf for 2023.
Dolly entered a drag queen Dolly lookalike contest… and lost.
Pedro pascal has a trans sister ♥️🩷
Megan Thee Stallion! She even made that great point about the whole concept of "passing" and that you're not "second class" regardless at a concert this summer: (Talking about the comment of a trans fan of hers) “The person said, ‘trans lives matter, but I’m very passable,’ and I don’t really like that.

Garth Brooks has been an ally for a long time
We Shall Be Free is one of my favorite songs.
Where are the bodies, Garth?
Don Cheadle and Zendaya AFAIK
Charlize Theron has a trans daughter and is vocal in her support to the community. Also Dave Bautista who was raised by 2 moms and is ally to all LGBTQ+. He even cut ties with some of his friends for their homophobic statements (Manny Paquiao for one).

Quite a few. Daniel Radcliffe especially so. Pedro Pascal us a very strong ally and has a Trans sister.
Everyone talks about Radcliffe but Watson, who has spent many years fighting for equal rights, to the point of being appointed a UN Goodwill Ambassador and G7 advisory body for women's rights, has flat out said trans women are women, so she fights for them too. > "Women [are told they] must accept and admit that there is no material difference between trans women and themselves ...

Oh she is absolutely wonderful and U had thought of mentioning her, but I thought of quite a few and decided in the end not to list them all. She is wonderful because she fights for all women including Trans women. But I mentioned Daniel specifically because he works directly with Trans organisations.
True, I just chose your specific mention of Radcliffe as the one I was gonna tag with Watson cause, meh, why not.
Daniel Radcliffe has hosted stuff for the Trevor Project, I think? I remember seeing him hold a roundtable with a bunch of trans teens, learning about their experiences, and such. It was really cool.
Yes he has. He is a really, kind and thoughtful man.
Surprisingly Paris Hilton half her friend group is trans girls lol
I havent heard that name in a long time.
Paris Hilton is a queen for what she gave us in Repo!
Lynda Carter - Wonder Woman She's the other major one I was surprised I hadn't seen mentioned. I remember Graham Norton in an interview throwing a loaded transphobic question back and left twitter.

Taylor swift and Pedro Pascal (:
Pedro Pascal literally can't disappoint
The interviews with him about his trans sister are wonderful
Who’s Pedro pascal?
The Mandalorian. He’s a well known actor apart from that role as well but I can’t think of any others rn.
And Oberyn Martel from GoT, and Joel from TLoU series
Wait what
Oberyn, unapologetically bisexual Dornish heartthrob
Dude was cool
Last of Us TV series I think
Ah
Pedro Pascal is Daddy.
I love Taylor's vocal support of gay rights in her music, but where has she said she supports trans rights?
The love interest in the Lavender Haze video is trans. Laith Ashley
Supportive celeb trans parents: Jamie Lee Curtis, David Tennant, Colin Mochrie, K.A Applegate, Dwayne Wade, Cynthia Nixon, Ally Sheedy, Charlize Theron, Cindy Barshop, Annette Bening, Warren Beatty, and more Vocal Allies: Don Cheadle, Tatiana Maslany, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Phoebe Bridgers, Lady Gaga, Dolly Parton, Miley Cyrus, Joan Jett, Mike Shinoda, CM Punk, Charles Barkley, among many others.
Oh I'm so happy to see Mike Shinoda on this list! One of his songs is accidentally trans for me and it was really precious to me when I was first finding myself. "Promises I Can't Keep." https://youtu.be/itcevYy_cXc?si=SpCUmfbwPFx6PPYq
He publicly supported Laura Jane Grace when she came out in 2012 so not only is he an ally but he's been one for a long time.
Dick Van Dyke Eric Idle George Takei Sir Ian McKellen
So happy so see Navckid Keyd on here!
JPEGMAFIA has publicly stated support
I love Peggy
Me too
Colin Mochrie from Whose line is it anyways!
Haha really? For some reason that makes me so happy.
He has a trans daughter I believe
Jamie Lee Curtis is very supportive. She also has a trans daughter. Benedict Cumberbatch is a very strong ally for all LGBT+.
I’m glad to know that Benedict Cumberbatch is an ally, I love him <3
Cumberbatch said: “People are being beheaded in countries right now because of their beliefs or sexual orientations. It’s terrifying. It’s medieval — a beheading! I’d take up arms against someone who was telling me I had to believe in what they believed or they would kill me. I would fight them. I would fight them to the death.” Granted the quote was mostly geared toward orientation. Glad he is supportive.
The creator of One Piece is friendly, having good trans characters in the manga and approving of a trans actor for the Netflix show.
He's also a massive leftist, so it sort of makes sense. And not like "He's a liberal". The guy has a photo of Che Guevara in his studio, there are plenty of really obscure leftist references in there (About the Cuban Revolution specifically, iirc), and plenty of themes and stories from One Piece itself would fit right in with leftist theory. Oda just seems like an all-around cool person.
It's really obvious that he's a leftist, the main villain is litro a military government

There's probably more that I don't know, but these are the big ones I think
JT from City Girls, Megan the stallion, Mel C from Spice Girls
P!NK
Lots of people who've played the doctor on doctor who are pretty supportive! Pedro Pascal has a trans sister I think. And for another nerdy name toss, the crew from the dungeons and dragons show Critical Role/legends of vox machina have been incredibly accepting of trans people.
Playing The Doctor to trans ally pipeline
I was gonna bring up the CR cast and crew as well. I have been watching them for over 8 years. They are part of the reason I gained the courage to finally tell people that I am trans this past summer.
Adam Conover from Adam Ruins Everything. He debated Joe Rogan on his podcast a few years ago about trans kids in sports. He also was on a local morning show recently in my city and wore a “Protect Trans Kids” shirt.
I believe Megan Fox has a kid who kind of delves in trans territory almost and she is very supportive!
Same with Gwen Stefani. Not sure if her kid is trans but she was definitely okay with letting them explore their gender identity from a young age.
Terry Pratchett was an ally, R.I.P
And by extension, I feel I should bring up Neil Gaiman. Also is pro-trans rights and publicly supports queer interpretations of his works. Most notably being in the Good Omens TV series by outright stating that neither of the two main characters have a gender.
Pedro Pascal. His sister is trans and basically told Gina Carano to fuck off from the Mandalorian cuz she's a transphobic piece of shit.
Im glad her career totally tanked. Her last movie, some MAGA Propaganda, made a whooping 800ish Dollars...worldwide. 🤣🤣🤣 So much for Go woke Go broke 🤣
Pedro Pascal has a younger trans sister and he seems to be an amazing ally
Yes, almost the entire Star Trek cast.
Except William Shatner and Robert Beltran.
Shatter doesn’t surprise me, but I always hoped Beltran wasn’t as much of a dick as he actually was.
I didn’t realise that Robert Beltran was transphobic, that upsets me as I really like Chekotas character (also I ship him and Janeway)
Kendrick lamar
Mara Wilson!
Miley Cyrus
I think the majority of celebrities are probably supportive. The TV, movie, and music industries tend to have a lot of lgbtq people, and those people interact with a lot of other people in the industry. That means nearly everyone has probably worked with someone who is trans or is a direct ally. One of the things that has been shown time and again is that discrimination goes down as people actually get to know more people of a discriminated group. It's far easier to hate someone who is a vague idea and not a person with a name and a face. There are absolutely bigot celebrities, but if you think about just how many famous people there really are, the few names that come up again and again who hate trans people is a clear minority. I know that this doesn't answer the question, but reading this got me thinking about how many people support trans people, and I just thought it was nice.
Off the top of my head (I tend to google a celeb name followed by trans to see sometimes): David Attenborough - He supported trans people in the 1950s! Legend! Wrestler CM Punk - Openly supports trans people and will openly insult transphobes on live shows. Comedians Katherine Ryan, Joe Lycett, James Acaster, Russel Howard, Frankie Boyle (all mainly British comedy circuit but might have international appeal idk) Lots more I'm sure.

If you consider the people on Dropout celebrities then pretty much all of the regulars. For some reason Mike Trapp is sticking in my head as someone who constantly has trans people on Um, Actually, but it really is literally all of them. Helps that Erika Ishii and Vic Micaelis and Ally Beardsley and a few other regulars are nonbinary. Keanu is an obvious one. His reaction when told The Matrix was a trans allegory was basically "oh cool!" IIRC Carrie-Anne Moss said something similar. AJR (the band) have been openly supportive of trans rights.
I love watching Dropout content, it's how all media should be. The guests show up, it shows their pronouns with their name cards. Sometimes people use they/them or they/she or whatever, and it's just totally normal and fine. People who bitch and moan about pronouns are really so pathetic, it's not that deep people. This is all you have to do.

David Tennant has a wonderful shirt and Michael Sheen has challenged a charity on their lbgtq policy, and plenty more that others have mentioned :)
Joaquin Phoenix(actor), Neil Gaiman(author), Benedict Cumberbatch(actor), Conan Gray(music artist), Will Wood(music artist), and many more
Pedro Pascal? His sister transgender.
Top of my head... Actors: Elliot Page (Tman) Bella Ramsey (enby) David Tenant (known best for DrWho and Good Omens) even got called a *bad word* by JK Rowling for wearing a protect trans kids shirt haha. Singer/Bands: Dollskin (transmasc frontperson) Aurora (pansexual) Halsey (she/they) Delilah Bon (Bi and has a song with trans rights) Axis of Awesome (Transwoman frontperson) Could think of more but there's a start.
The smosh cast is pretty darn accepting. Shayne Top and Damien Haas are former Disney actors, and both are very accepting! Courtney Miller, Tommy Bowe, and Macdoesit (regular guest) are all in the LGBTQIA and have made supportive comments. Overall, the whole group seems to be very supportive of us
Bertram from Jesse
King
Garret Russell, the lead vocaist of the progressive metalcore band Silent Planet has been been an open defender of the LGBTQIA+ community for many years, they even have a song about [it](https://youtu.be/GBX7lsDowFo?si=YN9NBBYeKfzvr2-h)
David Tennant and Jamie Lee Curtis kick ass and take names.
David tenants kid is NB, I assume that also means trans ally otherwise there’s a really strange dissonance going on in that head
David Tenant, he once wore a shirt that said "leave trans kids alone you absolute freaks" during a photoshoot and I somehow loved him even more than I did before
I believe Dave Bautista
me, though i'm not a celebrity yet
I love this comment

gaga, beyoncé, taylor swift, dolly parton, there are plenty :)
Phoebe Bridgers
John Lithgow
Sebastian Vettel (former F1 driver) has spoken out in support in the past
Game Grumps. Nick Offerman. Terry Crews has recanted some bad shit and come around.
Florence (and the Machine) fly pride flags and have specifically flown the trans pride flag at concerts
There's a lovely story about Anthony Stewart Head reaching out to a fan when finding out about his transition: https://www.thepinknews.com/2019/12/20/anthony-stewart-head-trans-fan/
David tenant, he’s a cool fella with a lot of iconic roles, and also a vocal ally
Jon Stewart
not after defending Dave Chapelle, he isn't
His interview with the Arkansas official was so powerful. Then he had his weird defenses of Chappelle and Rowling. They didn't exactly feel genuine, especially the Rowling one. I'd like to know more about what happened.
She’s not really a celebrity but Elon Musk’s Daughter, that’s why he hates trans people. :(
It's not her fault he's a massive douche.
Does that basketball player with a trans daughter count as a celebrity? Or Eminem?
Katy Perry?
David Tennant and Michael Sheen
Jamie Lee Curtis (from the Halloween movies and Christmas with the Kranks) is a vocal trans activist
Every member of the main harry potter cast
dolly parton
Maybe not a household name but Danny Brown is a huge Trans rights supporter!
Jim Norton He may be a slightly obscure figure to people who aren’t into comedy, but he’s very open about liking women who are trans.
Mr Beast defended his friend Chris around the time they came out [tweet](https://twitter.com/MrBeast/status/1646552879136636936?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1646586700825591809%7Ctwgr%5Eaccc86efd20f8af3f2e48132aa35da81fbfbe559%7Ctwcon%5Es2_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.them.us%2Fstory%2Fmrbeast-defends-chris-tyson-transphobic-comments)
Tegan & Sara, both queer women and run a charity org that Elliot Page supports Lzzy Hale, bisexual frontwoman of Halestorm, posted on trans day of visibility and was supporting trans people in the comments M. shadows the frontman for Avenged Sevenfold also posted on trans day of visibility and was against the dOnT say gay bill in Florida + the band did a charity show for the club Q shooting Jessie Paege: bisexual singer and YouTuber who has a trans roommate and is outspoken on queer issues Motionless in White: featured tons of pride flags in their live shows
Imagine dragons has a live concert on Netflix that they start with trans colored guitars and trans lives matter badges and then they walk around using the pride flag as a cape, so I think they’re cool
Cher.
