I'd say Audre Lorde for her exploring intersectionality and also her opening my eyes to how white women can benefit from white supremacy.

I also admire Christine Jorgensen for being a war veteran during WWII prior to her transition, and how she went on to be a trailblazer for transgender people during the 1950s with her publicity. I think that's cool of her.

I also really admire Leslie Feinberg for speaking up about their experiences in Stone Butch Blues. Brought tears to my eyes, and I rarely cry.

Rob Halford, since his coming out was the thing that made me rethink the sort of needledick homophobia typical of boys at the age I was at.
