VALENTINA SAMPAIO
There is no lack of lovely folks on this list. Valentina Sampaio, you can say, has always been a trailblazer. For one thing, she became the first trans model to be in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Likewise, she was also the first trans Victoria’s Secret model. The LGBTQ+ community is lucky to have her!

For a lot of us, Zach Barack is most remarkable for his role in Spider-Man: Far From Home. Did you know that he is the first openly trans actor to work on a Marvel flick? “And as a young person who is trans, I didn’t see a trans man on TV ever, ever, really, until I was like, 17,” he explained. “So having a fun movie about a class going on a trip together, and I get to be part of that, I can’t even.”
