Jodie Foster! She survived being a child star, and years of speculation about her sexuality. She's remained professional throughout and is a sensational actress.
My best mate. She's been through truly horrendous things and is still here. She's doing great and I'm proud every day
She was Incredible in True Detective.
She's incredible in everything!
Lynn Conway! She's a trans woman who helped built one of the processors that modern computers use today.
Also Angelica Ross who has done great advocacy work and created Trans Tech which helps trans and gender nonconforming people with getting jobs in tech.
Those are two amazing women, really inspirational
In that vein there is also Sophie Wilson who basically invented the ARM chip thats in basically every single phone.

my sister, her being the only normal person in my life was essentially the only thing that stopped me from either being brainwashed into being maga or killing myself when I was being raised in the South.
but for the sake of the question, probably the one trans girl at the absolute start of her transition on Instagram that works at Walmart. She doesn't pass at all and is being given a TONNNN of hate and death threats for just making jokes n shit.
you know who else is a woman I'm proud of? my mom!
Always love to hear of good moms
The seastheday ladies who just rowed across the pacific, unassisted, non stop. It took them almost 6 months and there were only two of them doing 2 hours on, 2 hours off shifts. I don’t know them but I keep telling people about their amazing achievement!
