Hans Scheirl, also known as A. Hans Scheirl, Angela Scheirl, Hans Angela Scheirl or Ashley Hans Sheirl, (born 1956) is a transgender artist and filmmaker from Salzburg, Austria. Scheirl first began his transition at the age of 40 with testosterone shots. He currently identifies as "boy, drag-king, transvestite, transgender...[and] insect." He has also performed in some experimental groups including the music group "8 oder 9" in Vienna in 1978. Scheirl's films use "the cinematic apparatus as a technology for perverting representation". He outlines his work as "cyber-cinema for the trans-X patriarchal fin-de-millenium."
