8 Non-Binary & Transgender Fashion Influencers You Should Add To Your Feed

Inclusive Fashion Inspiration For Everyone

While Instagram may be known for creating widespread superficiality, it has also fostered strong communities across the globe. At its best, social media can bring connection and empowerment to people who need it most. If we choose to make a positive impact on the world through social media, we can change the narrative of this growing technology.

Transgender and non-binary communities are severely underrepresented in mainstream media. Instagram creates a path for anyone—no matter their gender, size, or race—to build a platform and use their voice for the betterment of all. Not every non-binary person has the same story or the same look, which is why social media is a wonderful place for these individuals to showcase their self-expression.

Each of these influencers below is breaking stereotypes and rewriting the rules around identity and inclusive fashion. These inspiring voices come from artists and activists of all types, showing that everyone deserves to own their unique story.
