A post shared by @harinefIt’s official: Hari Nef, the scene-stealing transgender actor, model, writer and activist, has accomplished more in the last seven years than most people will in a lifetime… giving us no choice but to stan.Nef initially rose to fame for her musings online.
In 2015, Dazed Magazine declared her a “Tumblr icon” and “New York it girl that’s speaking out against the struggles of the trans community, particularly the violence against trans women of colour that’s poisoning America.”But her online activism was only the beginning.
That same year, Nef became the first openly transgender model in history to sign a modeling contract contract with IMG Worldwide.
Months later, she made her television debut as Gittel on Transparent and was nominated with the cast for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series at the SAG awards.
