Miles Aaron McKenna, born November 2, 1995, is an American vlogger, actor, and LGBTQ advocate based in Los Angeles, California. He is recognized as one of YouTube’s prominent trans creators, maintaining a channel called MilesChronicles with over 1.1 million subscribers. McKenna began creating confessional-style YouTube videos in 2011 while growing up in Orange County, California, in a strict religious family. His content frequently incorporates comedic skits alongside commentary on gender identity and other LGBTQ+ topics.

McKenna documented his personal journey of coming out in 2015 and his subsequent transition through his vlogs. This included discussing the effects of hormone replacement therapy and top surgery, as well as the challenges faced during this period, such as struggles with family and the development of cystic acne during testosterone treatment. In January 2017, he publicly identified as non-binary and later affirmed himself as a trans man. His early vlogging under the name AmandaChronicles for four years preceded his transition.

His career progression includes signing with the United Talent Agency in August 2017 and Fullscreen, a network for digital content creators. McKenna has hosted the short-form docuseries _Hella Gay with Miles McKenna_ and appeared in the interactive drama series _Guilty Party_. He also played Justin in the 2018 Hulu web series _All Night_ and James in the 2023 Disney+ TV series _Goosebumps_. McKenna’s advocacy extends beyond his digital content, as evidenced by his book _Out!: How To Be Your Authentic Self_, published in 2020, with a portion of its proceeds benefiting GLSEN. His contributions to the LGBTQ+ community were recognized with a Shorty Award for Best LGBTQ+ Account in 2018.
