Growing up in a small farm town in Idaho, Rose Montoya, now 27 years old, had a conservative upbringing as the daughter of a pastor, according to information on her website. It was during her college years that Montoya began performing in drag and subsequently came out as transgender in 2015. She legally changed her name to Rosalynne and started gender-affirming hormone therapy. While her given name remains undisclosed, her journey toward self-discovery and acceptance has been an important aspect of her advocacy.

Montoya's journey of self-identification continued, as she came out as bisexual a year later and later declared herself non-binary in 2019. Throughout her journey, Montoya has actively used her platform to educate and raise awareness about transgender rights and experiences, particularly in the face of anti-trans legislation introduced by Republican-led state legislatures across the United States.

“Going topless in DC is legal, and I fully support the movement to free the nipples,” Montoya declared.Rose Montoya/ Instagram

In recognition of her online educational content and advocacy work, Montoya was named one of "18 LGBTQ+ Policy Makers and Advocates Changing the World" by Out Magazine in 2021. Her influence extends beyond her online presence, as she has also delivered speeches at prestigious institutions such as Yale University and Stanford University, sharing her experiences and promoting understanding and acceptance.
