9、李銀河 Li Yinhe

On Dec 18, China's best-known sexologist and sociologist, Li Yinhe, for the first time revealed her female-to-male transsexual partner of 17 years in her blog, refuting tabloid newspapers which have said she is leading an "abnormal" life being a "lesbian". The post attracted public attention to transgender people, a group that has been largely unknown and unacknowledged.

12月18日，中國最知名性學者、社會學家李銀河第一次在博客公開同居17年的變性伴侶，以此對那些對抨擊她是“同性戀”、過著“非正常”生活的小報進行了駁斥。該博文引起公眾對那些普遍不為人知、不被認可變性人群的關注。

"Discrimination against people like me is always present, along with public and family pressures, but, compared with the happiness and satisfaction of being who I really want to be, those things are insignificant," she said.

她說：“我這樣的人常常會受到歧視還有來自公眾和家庭的壓力，但是，比起能做真正的自己的快樂和滿足，那些事情就不無足重輕了。”
