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.

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.

Definitely off-topic.
