“Notable omissions: … Helen Clark.”

Haha. There is quite a bit of Helen Bashing on this site.

#9 “As a child she played soldiers, but was otherwise seen as a normal young girl.”

WTF ?
That’s just wrong. It’s completely normal for girls to want to play soldier ! I did that all the time with my friends. We also liked to play “zombie” – inspired by resident evil for most part.

I’m sorry to sound repetitive. I really like this list. The stories of the women who went into the military to find their husbands or to help humanity are great, but I’m yet another trans person who is begging you to change Brandon’s gender in that paragraph… By calling him “she” now refutes everything that he tried to achieve when he was alive, and his journey from a woman to a man should be respected.

It’s sad that this list is not true to the people on it. In few cases on the list the people are transgendered (if you don’t know what that is…look it up). I also agree with #62. If a woman is dressing as a man and one refers to them as ‘he’ it is ridiculous, seeing as someone who is in fact transgendered is referred to as female. How would it make you feel if someone constantly called you something other than your name and yourself? This is pathetic, I truly don’t understand why this page is still available on the internet.

sor juana ines de la cruz!
she was a mexican poet, who lived around the 1600s… she didn’t dress as a man, but asked her mother permission to dress as a man to attend university… when of course her mother said no, she taught herself various subjects, from Latin to Greek… and became a great scholar, poet and writer

Also, because Brandon was trans I do not think he should even be on this list.

As a transgendered person myself, I think you need to fix number 10, in which you are referring to Brandon, as a her. He was trans and therefore should be referred to with his proper pronouns. It’s still very sad what happened to him though and, it hurts me to see things happen like this, just last year a 15 y/o boy named Larry King was killed for the way he dressed and telling his friends he was gay. I really want to know what this world is coming to?

136. Nasdagirl: Sorry to burst your bubble, but Pope Joan is a work of fiction, and this has been known for practically ever.

Helen Clarke HAHA. But what about Pope Joan, given she may be a work of fiction, but there is not much to prove either way.
