Ian Harvie

We’ll also include transgender men on our list, and let’s start off with Ian Harvie. He was born on May 28, 1968, in Portland, Maine. Many knew him for being an actor and comedian. In fact, he was one of the most groundbreaking transgender comedians. Harvey started his comedy career in January 2002 at a small comedy club in Portland, Maine. Three months later, he began performing at the sister Club in Boston, Massachusetts.By November 2006, He was Margaret Cho’s opening act.

He would often touch-sensitive subjects that most comedians would be afraid to venture into. It was in 2013 that Cho helped release his first-ever live standup comedy concert film. His audience would laugh as he narrated his life including his surgery and his uncomfortable confrontations in public restrooms. Harvie came out gay at the young age of 19 and completed his transformation at the age of 32. We wonder just how much his operation cost, and if he needed a money loan to complete it.
