3. Jazz Jennings
Jazz Jennings is a 15-year-old reality show star and LGBTQ activist. She is one of the youngest transgender public figures in the world. She has lived as a trans woman since she was five years old, and she first received notoriety in 2007 after being interviewed by Barbara Walters for 20/20. She makes this list this year because of her groundbreaking reality show, I Am Jazz, which shows her and her family “dealing with typical teen drama through the lens of a transgender youth.” Not only is she an inspiration for young transgender people, but she also helps to inform the public about the trans experience.
