Totally - there are so many words that we can use to recognise the *incredible* people who inspire us :)

I have a lot of issues with the concept of role models (not the phrase itself) as I struggle to empathise with people who have them.
-
I should work on understanding that people need role models and respect that they don't like metaphorically "killing" them.

Role models are important to many people. I never realised that until others called me one. I never realised just existing can make you one.

This is why visibility of URMs and ERCs is vital, because many of us actually need role models.

Altho I'd warn those who see me as a role model that I nearly died quite a few times. Being "like" somebody means realising they are flawed.

Totally - that's what I've taken from this conversation. If heros is still gendered then just don't use it. There are lots of words :)
