Stav Strashko was born in 1992, in Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine, as Stanislav Strashko. She was assigned male but identifies as female. Stav is an androgynous model who maintains a head of long hair, modeling in the appearance of being either male or female, but sometimes wholly ambiguous and of feminine (perhaps "boyish") vanity, whichever the case. Stav is also a screen performer, known for HaNeshef (2018) , Lettres d'amour d'un inconnu (2013) and Blue Natalie (2010). Stav has said multiple times that she is female, and has no plans to change her body with surgery. She is very outspoken about the LGBTQ community and human rights. She lives with her boyfriend in Tel Aviv, Israel.
