Balian Buschbaum. I recently saw a doco on tv about him, hopefully I can look as badass as him one day!

I'd have to say all of mine are on this site. I look across the various avatar images here, and I can't help but be a little envious of how frikkin' pretty you ladies are! Gives me hope, keeps me going.

I'm a big fan of Laverne Cox and Buck Angel. <3 Those two are the types of proud, confident, change-making successful people that I want to be.

And I seriously can not get over how body-confident and comfortable Buck is. Like I think so many people trans or even cis could benefit from a little bit of that total confidence he exudes.
Plus I identify with not having bottom dysphoria, and he makes me feel like I don't need to have bottom surgery to be a man others can respect. 

Honestly? I don't have any. There really aren't any out there that I can relate to all that much. There really isn't a role model or an idol out there for us late transitioners, and that bothers the heck out of me.

I think that instead of a celeb type idol, I have many. Most of them right here.  I have Susan to thank for making it all possible, to have friends, understanding and supportive people, information which sometimes helped directly, sometimes lead me to look in a new direction.  Better yet, sometimes told me when I screwed up or had thoughts going in the wrong direction.

My idols are all of you.

Oh yeah Buck for sure!! He looks so good!!! I for one suffer from bottom disphoria, especially when it comes to my wardrobe! So Buck is someone I idolize as well!

My first transgender idol was Kim Petras.

I also have lots of respect for Gigi Lazzerato and Julie Vu.

Hard to pick just one.
I am inspired by many here and I like the Trans by Def. Youtube video's especially.

Fallon Fox.

Kristen Beck has my total respect.

I don't have an idol but there are many that I admire who fully transitioned and are beautiful people inside and out.

Laura Jane Grace 4 ever <<<<<<3
I like this thread! So many people I've never heard of and beg investigating...

My idols are a couple of the girls here specifically.

While I wont name names so as to avoid seeming like a fan girl stalker or some thing, I will say that it is because of those three women that I finally struck up the strength to start with proper therapy with the intention of hrt and fighting for myself to win the struggle to change and be 100% myself.

I don't do well idolizing people though...but especially not celebrities.

Who was the kickboxer they made the movie about? Shes my favorite. Ohh yeah and the t version of bat girl

Many of the better books are about those who transition later in life. My favourite is Lili Elbe, who's names is probably familiar to many here who have read the wiki page on mtf grs. The book about her is called The Danish Girl xx

I have 15,000 of them.

You guys and gals.

Best answer EVER! And for the record, Bailey Jay is my hero!

Changing my answer to Aydian Dowling. Skylar really disappointed me recently.
