Thanks Olivia! Sorry to push this - would you recommend "heros and heroines" then? That feels super weird to me. Or just avoid in general?

I feel like I've wanted to say something like "you are all heros of <insert movement here>" in an inspirational way

Why go for a noun that has inherent rendering? Why not something like: "leaders" "activists" "movers and shakers" "vanguard" etc?

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.

I like the concept of role models but regularly remember to only focus on aspects that I like, not trying to emulate everything about them!
