9、李银河 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，中国最知名性学者、社会学家李银河第一次在博客公开同居17年的变性伴侣，以此对那些对抨击她是“同性恋”、过着“非正常”生活的小报进行了驳斥。该博文引起公众对那些普遍不为人知、不被认可变性人群的关注。

"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.

她说：“我这样的人常常会受到歧视还有来自公众和家庭的压力，但是，比起能做真正的自己的快乐和满足，那些事情就不无足重轻了。”
