Life and career

Zinn was born and raised in Marion, Indiana to photographer Elisa Everman and internet television personality/webmaster Frank Zinn (now Ava Zinn) but grew up in nearby Muncie area. Within a year after Zinn's birth, Tiffani's parents broke up, [1].

Zinn has five half-sisters, Samantha (b. 1993), Ashli (b. 1998), and Tabitha (b. 2003) and a half-brother, Kenneth (b. 2015) on her father's side and Nermal Everman (b. 1994 d. 2015[2][3]) on her mother's side. Tiffani Zinn is also the paternal transgender granddaughter of Margaret Zinn (b. 1943 d. 2002), maternal transgender granddaughter of Sabrina Everman (b. 1958), and currently transgendered stepdaughter of Kymberly Alvaraz (b. 1967) and previously Angie Willis (b. 1978 d. 2010). Tiffani is also the niece of long-time Vote for the Girls USA co-host Holly Everman.


She attended Muncie Central High School for her freshman year in August 2012 until moving back to Marion in 2013 for her sophomore year at her father's alma matter Mississinewa High School in Gas City before switching schools from Mississnewa to Marion. Tiffani announced she will be attending her uncle's alma matter of Eastbrook for her senior year in the fall of 2016. This made Tiffani Zinn having the rare distinction of attending four different high schools (Muncie Central, Mississinewa, Marion, and Eastbrook) before graduating.


On December 1, 2013, Zinn began undergoing a physical and social gender transition exactly nine years after her father began her own transition. Tiffani's gender transition also saw her respective cousin and grand-cousin, Weasel Zinn and Robert Purvis as the only remaining male family members on Tiffani's paternal side of her family as of that date as many of the males in the Zinn family after 2002 have either passed on or transitioned to female. Tiffani will have a bilateral orchiectomy performed the beginning of November 2017 before beginning hormone therapy in December. In July 2013, an Indiana Court granted her request for a name change and she will legally complete her transition by April 2020, when she will have her gender officially changed on all of her legal documents including her birth certificate. Because she wants to have biological children with her girlfriend, Jenna "J.R." Atkins, Zinn did pre-operative sperm banking in January 2014 allowing artificial insemination to be used to produce genetic offspring with Jenna at a later date. This differs from her father's own transition, as her father wants to have biological children of her own and sterilization is not a requirement to undergo a valid sex change anywhere in the United States, Zinn's father (Ava) is keeping her external reproductive organs intact for the time being, of which has kept Ava Zinn from estrogen hormone treatment in order to transition to living life as a woman.

Following the deaths of both her sister Shushu in 2009 and half-sister Nermal in 2015, Tiffani became the only remaining child of Elisa Everman. As of January 2016, Tiffani is one of four granddaughters of Jon and Sabrina Everman – along Tiffani's cousins Olivia Everman (daughter of Garfield Everman), Madison Matthewson (daughter of Lynsey Matthewson), and Ellie Everman (daughter of Holly Everman). Olivia (born Oliver Everman on September 10, 1996) followed in Tiffani's footsteps and began transitioning from male to female on June 1, 2015 (the same day Bruce Jenner began transitioning to a woman now as Caitlin). Madison Matthewson was born a girl in November 2014, becoming the second granddaughter of Jon and Sabrina Everman and Ellie Everman was born on November 21, 2015.
