Celeb Kids You Didn't Know Were Transgender

If there's such a thing as Hollywood royalty, Annette Bening and Warren Beatty would absolutely be contenders for king and queen. With dozens of esteemed awards between them for acting, directing, producing, and writing, the powerhouse pair are also parents to trans activist and writer Stephen Ira. 

While Stephen Ira came out as trans when he was 14 years old, the celeb kid's journey was a bumpy one for some time. "I survived conversion therapy and transphobic abuse. I'm 22 and I live in New York City and I just put on my androgel," he posted on Twitter in 2014 (via HuffPost). In the years since, Stephen Ira has become a well-known activist, and his parents have made several statements supporting him and his work. Beatty, for instance, told Vanity Fair, "He's a revolutionary, a genius, and my hero, as are all my children." Of her son, Stephen Ira's mom, Annette Bening, once said (via Associated Press), "I'm super proud of him."
