I am sorry but I don't have a personal real life heroine.Though I believe butch women are the bravest women on earth. Every day they come out just by walking out the door.
However I do have a favorite fictional heroine. That would be Celie from the book "The Color Purple' by Alice Walker.

Kate Bornstein, an inspiring transwoman who works tirelessly for GLBT rights and educating people about transsexuality.

Does Diana Ross count? She's the diva I always wished I could be.

But there are a lot of women I admire. Just any strong, smart, powerful woman who dares to be different.
