Kesaria Abramidze (Georgian: კესარია აბრამიძე; 18 August 1987 – 18 September 2024) was a Georgian blogger, actress and model. She was the first person in the country to publicly admit to being transgender.[1] She was born in Tbilisi, then-Georgian SSR.

Before transitioning, Abramidze's genetic material was frozen outside the country.[2] She announced that she had undergone gender-affirming surgery in 2014.[2]

Abramidze was a guest on several shows, such as in Psychopath Games and Davit Kovziridze's show Zhure Katsat.[3] She took part in the Miss Trans Global beauty pageant and represented Georgia.[4] She later became a television host for Rustavi 2.[5]

Abramidze was stabbed to death on 18 September 2024 at her home near Tbilisi, aged 37.[6] Her death happened one day after the Parliament of Georgia passed an anti-LGBTQ+ bill.[7][6] The next day, her ex-boyfriend was arrested at Kutaisi International Airport in connection to Abramidze's murder.[6][8]

Some commentators and politicians connected Abramidze's murder to the new anti-LGBTQ+ law.[8] President Salome Zurabishvili and the UN Human Rights Office both condemned the murder and asked to new laws to protect LGBTQ+ individuals.[9]
