Kim Christy (born 1950) was a female impersonator of the 1960s and 1970s, magazine editor and publisher, ^[1] book author, ^[2] screenwriter, ^[3] adult film producer, ^[4] and first genderfluid person to be inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame.

Christy was born Ken Olsen to Gertie Olsen ^[5] and her husband in the Bronx, New York. Christy was raised in the Bronx, where he attended Catholic school at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church. ^[5] He began dressing in semi-drag and going out in public at age 14. ^[5] At age 15, he met Billy Schumacher, whose drag name was International Chrysis, at the Tenth of Always, a bar. ^[5] In 1964, when the two appeared, in drag, in Life magazine by chance, Christy's parents reacted poorly, ushering him out of the house "within a year or two." ^[5] Christy and Chrysis came to share a small apartment on Mott Street, near Broome Street and Houston, ^[5] in what later became known as SoHo in New York.

Christy first became a model with the help of Lenny Burtman, an editor for the fetish magazine Exotique. ^[6] She then became a stripper and showgirl at Club 82. She toured the United States as a female impersonator, subsequently working as a photographer for the publications Mode Avantgarde, Hooker, Eros, and Exposé. ^[4] She eventually became editor of the publication Female Mimics ^{[7] [8]} and the aforementioned Exotique. Part of Female Mimics was the She-Male calendar. ^[9] Years later, he edited the original Exotique issues into book form, ^[10] then published a historical survey of sex and fetish images called The Christy Report (2001). ^[2]
