I am not one for following role models, and I dislike the very concept of celebrity.  There are no doubt some celebrity trans folk who are role-model-worthy, but not for me.

As some others have said, my true role models are members here.  I won't single anyone out, but you know who you are.  You blazed a trail for me; you shared your energy with me when I was down; and you offered me wisdom when I was confused.  You still do.

Definitely Gigi Gorgeous. I've been following her for 8 years now since way before her transition, and she definitely inspires me. She's amazing!
Latina :) I speak Spanish, English and a bit of Portuguese.

You can hold my hand Kathy because I am right thee with you. Well said.

I second this, I am a big fan of Laura Jane Grace.  Not so much the music even but just her.  The whole approach she's taken to her transition to how she deals with the world, everything she does is crazy inspiring for me.  She's no non-sense, no-apologies, take me as I am or get out of my way. I love that about her.

It also helps that my oldest child has had the opportunity to have a few lengthy conversations with LJG and she's really been a helpful influence for my child as well.

Im going for a local (spanish) one: Manuela Trasobares.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manuela_Trasobares

She is a mezzo soprano, opera director, lately a town councilor and such a doll! She also is one of Spain transgender pioneers. Plus I love her style and look! So glammy and gorgeous! <3

Here she she was circa 1990:



Lol I just found this gif :D Such a diva!!!

Christine Jorgensen. She was incredibly brave. Having what was then experimental surgery. And then returning to the USA. Way back then any number of horrible things could have happened to her once people found out what she did. Im sure people way back then had no concept of transgender.
Born 1989
Transitioned 2001
Began hrt 2001
