<p>I can understand some concerns that people might have regarding the list, and I do think it’s a good thing for the creators to include a list of concerns and responses at the beginning of the document itself. They do a good job of addressing them as well as summing up a lot of the reasons why I like seeing such a document put out there. The list provides good examples not only of all the work being done with gender and trans* issues, but also just the sheer diversity of those involved and their stories. It’s as if We Happy Trans and This Is H.O.W. went ahead and published a list of role models, in a way, and one varied enough to give just about everyone someone of interest to look up to.</p>
<p>If you check it out, make sure to download the list itself (link at the top of the page) and read through at least some of the biography snippets.</p>
