Those are not comparable. There most certainly are lists and categories
of actresses (though being female is less of a unique identity than
being transgender), but a role model subjective category and not really
encyclopedic. Do we actually have such lists for any other groups of
people, or a general one? I don't see any.
Are there any arbitrators or former arbitrators out

that my depleted uranium ban should take precedence over WP:IAR for
this situation?
Not really, and your ban isn't really relevant here (except to
note that
the stuff that you were banned for is precisely the kind of behavior
that would turn me off to the project if I were new). There are proper
channels you can use to make an appeal; contact me off-list if you are
unsure of them.
P.S. For those of you interested in the 20th year of
the use of
depleted uranium on people, which was three days ago, and its affects
on reproductive health outcomes, please see

Definitely off-topic.
