Ash Hardell is a 30 yr old YouTube personality from Minnesota. They started posting on the platform back in 2011. Ash identifies as a trans, non-binary queer person, and their content runs the gamut of queer topics. Ash often invites other LGBTQ+ community members to do collaborations to discuss their shared experiences. Topics range from gender identities to sexual orientations to anti-trans/anti-queer movements. Ash has documented their trans journey on YouTube as well as written a book titled “The ABCs of LGBT+”, an Amazon Best-Seller. They recently came back from an over-two-year hiatus from YouTube they took because of transphobic comments, videos, and attention that caused Ash to experience trauma and gaslighting. Ash has discussed this experience in a recent video where they talk about why they left for such an extended period of time.
