Tyler Ford (born October 25, 1990) is a writer and public speaker who advocates for transgender and nonbinary people. Ford appeared as the first transgender contestant on The Glee Project in 2012. They live and work in New York City.
Raised by a single mother in Boca Raton, Florida, Ford transitioned to male in college, but later came to identify as agender, and came out as such in 2014. Ford is of mixed black and white Jewish ethnicity. Their writing and speaking frequently addresses their challenges living as a transgender person of color.
Ford gained national attention when Miley Cyrus brought them as her date to The Foundation for AIDS Research (AMFAR) gala in 2015. Cyrus sought to raise awareness of people with nonbinary gender identities as part of her LGBTQ advocacy work with the Happy Hippie Foundation; Ford and their friend Ariana Grande joined Cyrus in that effort.
