Renowned for his personal documentation of his experience in gender transition, Chella Man is celebrated for his motto be your own representation. As a deaf, genderqueer, Chinese, and Jewish individual, Chella found he didn't have role models to look up to, and so he became a voice and a true representation for himself and for others. With over 290K subscribers and many millions of views on his YouTube video entitled One year on testosterone: voice updates, Chella is normalizing the conversation around gender issues for disabled and LGBTQ youth.
Since leaving high school as a junior to attend college early, Chella has written forCondé Nast's first queer publicationThem, launched a radically inclusive clothing line in collaboration with Opening Ceremony, signed as the first deaf and trans masculine model with IMG Models, and was cast as a superhero within Warner Brother's DC Universe,Titans. He hopes to continue pushing the boundaries of what it means to be accessible, inclusive, and equal in this world.
