Did you know that #28, Julie Wolf has an identical twin? Two for the fun of one!! (did some beach partying with both of them back in the 90’s)

[ Yes - Kate! She is also a musician and also hot, but I actually could not find any decent photos of Kate on the internet at all. She's on the Honorable Mention list. - ss]

Is it true that #76. Kael T Block is a rapist and wont come back to the US for fear of being arrested?

Posted by Butchtay on 22 June 2009 @ 11am

Fantastic!! Well done Sinclair and everyone else involved.

Oh my goodness! What a fabulous project! A feast for the eyes!
I’ve been a fan of Ivan E. Coyote for a while now, but thank you for introducing me to so many new faces, particularly LYNDELL MONTGOMERY QRx

Oh wow, Sinclair. I LOVED the inclusion of Ellis and Daniela Sea. I met Ellis at one of her concerts recently and fell in love, and although I’m not thrilled with how Max’s character was written for The L Word, Daniela Sea is HOT. This is fabulous, and I’m sure all of us appreciate all the work you did!

I’ll have to go back and look at this again. And again. And again.

Hey, the picture you put for Kael T. Block is not a picture of Kael but a picture taken by Kael of another transguy. You should choose a picture that depicts him, there are a lot of good ones on his myspace page :

This is so good! Thank you for compiling this. As a femme I really appreciate it and considering the site crashes I’d say a hell of a lot of other people do as well. It really is big what you’ve done here.

Posted by DeviantDyke on 22 June 2009 @ 4pm

I liked this idea a lot; most lists of hot people leave me really disappointed. Looking at these pictures, I cannot understand why the mainstream media does not see the beauty in butch/androgynous/genderqueer/trans people!

And I know that the inclusion of trans guys is probably controversial, but personally I liked seeing several men here. (I think you did well to clarify –in the press release– why you included them.)

Posted by genderkid on 22 June 2009 @ 4pm

I was so excited to see this today. Thanks for all the work you put into it…I think this is going to be VERY popular once word gets out…

What a wonderful list! I absolutely adore Rachel Maddow!

FYI, small typo on the Honorable Mention page: “an unfortunately” should be “and unfortunately” in the first sentence.

[thank you, fixed it! - ss]

ZOMG!!! SNOOP!!! TOSHI REAGON!!! I’m thrilled that so many slightly-obscure members of my private Pantheon made the list.

Posted by Ella on 22 June 2009 @ 8pm

What a fantastic list. I could look at this over and over again. Okay, yeah, I’ve got a thing for androgynous folk — this list has so many hotties on it.

Clearly a lot of effort, thank you for putting this together!

Posted by setya on 22 June 2009 @ 8pm

I, on the other hand, am unhappy by the inclusion of male identified people on the list. This list is about celebrating female masculinity, Angel Buck (for one example) is not displaying a female masculinity–but a gay male bear masculinity. I feel very uncomfortable with the conflation of butch and transexual man–both personally and politically. Transmen aren’t just extra butch women, and that is a misconception that is out there, and this list just furthers it.

Posted by trooper6 on 22 June 2009 @ 9pm

Love this list!! – Thank you for creating this. When I first came out I used to look hard to collect pics of butch-looking women from magazines, now here are 100 – out & proud and in one place. Awesome!

BUT… my own love/butch (Jeanne Cordova, soon to be a keynote speaker at Butch Voices Conference & featured in “Dagger” & ‘Persistent Desire’, among SO many other things) is an over 55 butch.
And – Hey Sinclair – I see almost none of them here!
What happened to honoring those hot butches who remained resistently butch (yet feminist) while living through the contradictions & criticisms of the’70s (& what Jeanne titled “butches, lies & feminism”?)
Maybe you could expand this list or create a list of hot butches over 55?! (there are stunning photos to be found, trust me)

what about Sean dorsey http://www.freshmeatproductions.org/director.html Amazing dancer, activist, queer arts event producer and super hot trans butch.

Posted by Vanessa on 22 June 2009 @ 11pm

SO. EPIC.

I love that this was done in time for Pride.
I love that this was done and documented so well.

I’ve disseminated the list as far and wide as my net goes; the femme nation is thus far VERY appreciative and it’s even sparked some intriguing discussion and conversation.

Well done!

Posted by SBJ on 22 June 2009 @ 11pm

delicious!!!!!!!!!!!

though i do think D’Lo and Jack Halberstam both should have been rated much higher…

Posted by queerboi on 23 June 2009 @ 1am

Great job! A few little critiques, though:

1. That photo of Judith Halberstam is at least 10 years old. I had her as a professor, and she is *definitely* older than that.

2. A lot of white people. Just sayin’.

3. I also find including transmen problematic…I might feel differently if you had included any butch-identified transwomen (yes, they’re out there!) or cis-men, but instead it comes across as slightly disrespectful to transmen who identify as men only – not as butch, because it is essentially saying that being born into a female body will put you in the category of “butch” instead of “man,” regardless of what you want.

[ Hey, thanks for the feedback. 1. I looked around for a (high resolution) photo of Halberstam, but didn't come across one that was at least 350 wide. If you've got one, I would love to update it! 2. I know. I was very aware of the breakdown, and reached out, and am concerned about the inclusion of people of color. 3. There is one single butch-presenting (not sure how she identifies) transwoman on the list, #84 Riki Wilchins. I would have absolutely considered including more had I known of more, but I did look, and asked around, and she's the only one I found. This is the problem with lists like these - they will never be universal because they are limited to the creator's personal scopes. Also, I would consider butch-identified men for this list, but I don't know of any of them either. I'd love to find them, though, and would absolutely consider them. I agree it is totally problematic to include transmen - and I definitely understand that many of them do not identify as butch, and that they are men. But there are some specific reasons why I chose to include them, even given that. I think I'm going to have to write about this more, since obviously this inclusion touched a nerve. - ss]

Posted by a reader on 23 June 2009 @ 6am

I loved this list – As a butch, it was inspiring and made me feel good. Until I started noticing trans guys on it – What on earth are FTM’s doing on a list of BUTCHES? How utterly insulting to these men, who by transitioning clearly state their manhood (as opposed to butch-hood)? HOw utterly insulting to us butch dykes – You are basically saying that there aren’t 100 hot butch women so you’re gonna throw some men in for good measure? I understand that there’s no way to verify how most of these people identify w/r/t butchness. But it’s EASY to rule out those people who have clearly stated they are NOT butch. This is an insulting and transphobic list, unfortunately, and ultimately that ends up making it disrespectful to butches themselves.

Posted by A reader on 23 June 2009 @ 8am

I’m also disgusted that you included an accused rapist on this list.

Posted by jayadam on 23 June 2009 @ 10am

Yeah, ditto to those who find the inclusion of trans men on this list problematic (to say the least). Men don’t “resist compulsory femininity” – they don’t have to; they’re men. Chaz Bono is a particularly low blow. His inclusion can only be read as a patronizing way of saying “you may be transitioning and you may identify as a man, but deep down, we know that you’re still a lesbian/woman/dyke/whatever”. Some of the men you’ve unfortunately decided to include aren’t even particularly masculine gendered men, highlighting the ridiculousness of calling them “butch”.

As a guy who happens to be trans, i’m really, really tired of butch women, butches (as a a noun/as a gender), and other female-assigned, female-presenting, gender-variant people who live as women, appropriating trans men’s experiences and language.

As far as i’m concerned “transmasculine” was already a sort of wishy-washy term, but you’ve just rendered it completely meaningless, at best, harmful at worst.

Sexual Predator in the SF Dyke/FTM Scene
ADVERTISEMENT

I can vouch for the original poster-I have experieced this first hand and swear on my Family name that this is true!

We have a sexual predator in our community. PLEASE READ AND REPOST.
Message: THIS IS A POST FROM A FRIEND OF MINE:
Please be informed that there is a movement
beginning to boycott Kael T. Block and his
projects. Kael T. Block is a sexual predator. I am
speaking from MY OWN personal experience.

This has got to end!

We need to send the message that our community
will not put up with this persons actions regardless
of what positive trans visibility he is supposedly
representing. (FYI having a sexual predator as a
leader is not positive visibility) Future XXboys
deserve to be able to make an informed decision
about the true nature of the person behind the
project before they sign their souls away on a
model contracts dotted line.
Please repost and get the word out!

You can help by:
-Deleting Kael T. Block and XXboys from your
MySpace/Friendster
-Not using his photos (If you paid for them maybe
you could not give him credit, or how about try this
photo was taken by a rapist as a caption…)
-Spreading the word by mouth.
-Stop signing waivers to let him have complete
power over you and your image! People think about
this. Do you know this person? He has the rights
to your image for the rest of your life to do
WHATEVER he wants with it. Including promote
himself and his own sexist agenda.
-Not giving this person free housing!
-Reposting this bulletin.

THANK YOU!

Re: Sexual Predator in the SF Dyke/FTM Scene
I wasn’t going to post all this here, but the more people mis-informed the harder it is for the victim to feel support instead of backlash from her community. I didn’t want to post because of the content nature could trigger victims of sexual assualt, so please be aware of that if you plan to read this fully.

This collection of statements is being distributed to inform the community that charges have been filed for aggravated sexual assault against Kael T. Block on July 26th 2006 in San Francisco. At the time of printing this Kael knows of these charges and has since been in hiding.
Members of our immediate community have reacted to this in various ways, an art show has been cancelled, support has been pulled out of projects, xxboys have pulled out of the project, and people have decided not to work with, or model for Kael. We want people to have all the facts straight and not base actions or opinions on rumor or hearsay, so we are distributing these definite statements.
In these statements we remain anonymous for safety, and because we are public artists in the community whose names are important to represent our art, and because we are very personal in our accounts. Our friends and community know we are truthful individuals and chose in various ways to not support Kael, we thank them for all kinds of support. We want to make it clear that we are not trying to censor or ruin Kael’s art or career, he just happens to be a high profile artist, along with being a sexual predator, and we believe people should be informed of that before supporting him and his art. Trans men deserve to be able to make an educated decision about the true nature of the person behind the xxboy project before they sign their souls away on a model contracts dotted line, and future sexual partners of Kael’s deserve to be informed of our previous experiences and the pain he caused us. Also, we are NOT at all trans-phobic! We live with tran smen, have romances and strong friendships with trans men, and all believe in and create art that fights for positive trans visibility.
We also fully believe that the accused deserves a voice, but we simply will not pay for it to be printed and included in this collection. Kael has issued an online statement, which if interested you can find through his Internet page(s). That being said we would like to explain that our statements include details about things Kael may have said to us or emailed to us that expose the true nature of his character, because Kael’s statement is full of blatant lies and we want to address that. Kaels statement is chiefly a series of excuses used to create empathy for him and it was created with the help of outside voices that are guiding him to shape defenses for what is not in fact his true ideas or lifestyle. For instance, Kael claims he is a feminist, he says this most current accusation of rape was just misunderstanding and he forgot to use safe words. Statement 3 includes direct quotes from Kael that he is not a feminist and doesn’t believe in safe words. Kael has lied to these elders that he is simply a BDSM top and doesn’t know yet how to negotiate safe words. This is total bullshit.
Kael attempts to paint a picture for people who do not personally know the most recent rape survivor that this relationship was some sort of loving BDSM exchange. The rape victim was not in any sort of loving relationship with Kael, she barely knew him and it is very obvious if you know her that she does not practice BDSM, or even know what it is exactly. The point is that if Kael wanted to play out rape or BDSM fantasies our community offers plenty of safe places to do so, and Kael has enough friends in this community that there is no way that he did not know of these places he could explore these fantasies. Kael chose instead to repeatedly seek out sexual encounters in which he can takes advantages of women in a predatory manner. He does not seek BDSM or “safe word” negotiated relationships.
Each of our experiences are unique, but are unified in the fact that we all feel we were sexually violated by Kael T. Block. Speaking out about this is the most responsible and powerful action imaginable.

Statement #1
I believe that my truth needs to be clearly told due to Kael’s vague and dishonest statement, which has been posted now on Craigslist and Myspace. When I read his statement I was appalled and sick to my stomach. I felt as if other peoples posts about the situation were solely about what happened between Kael and I, but his retort was a strange fusion of many different relationships he has previously had with other women. This was also jumbled up with all of the politics of the queer community’s mixed responses after being informed of a sexual predator in their midst. As important as the politics that have been exposed in our tight-knit queer community in San Francisco are- the situation that initially sparked this fire was what happened between Kael and I: RAPE

This is the truth of why I pressed charges against Kael T. Block:

Kael was staying in my home as a guest of one of my roommates. I had moved in 1.5 months before. Kael has stated that he and I had an “established relationship,” which is not true; we never had an established sexual relationship at all. He is just trying to make it seem like what happened between us was just a miscommunication between lovers. We were NOT lovers and were never in love. The extent of our relationship was just seeing each other a few times a week when my roommates and I were all in the communal space, watching television, using the internet, smoking cigarettes, drinking beer, and eating each others’ food. Kael and I never hung out outside of the house.
The deal with my house is that the roommates hang out in the communal area. I’ve never invited anyone into my room, and they’ve never invited me into theirs. My room mates and I cuddle on the couches, put arms around each other, hug each other, and I give them all goodnight pecks on their cheeks and foreheads when I retire for the night- that’s just the type of person I am and that’s just the type of ‘family’ we are. I live in what my queer community has playfully nicknamed, “The Tranny Frat House,” and my roommates are like my brothers.
The week my girlfriend and I broke up I was in an emotionally vulnerable state and Kael and I sat on the couch and watched Law & Order. We ended up kissing, which led to making out and then a brief sexual encounter that was interrupted shortly by one of my roommates walking in. We laughed it off for what it was: a mistake between acquaintances.
The next night I turned to Kael for relationship advice, which he gave me, as a friend. It seemed that the slip up between Kael and I the night before was just what it was, a slip up, and we hung out in the house like before, continuing to be part of the house ‘family’, with all roommates hanging out in the common area with no sexual interaction between Kael and I at all.
Late that Thursday night/ early Friday morning Kael raped me. I had gone to sleep at 12:30am, because I had to be up the next morning at 6:45 to get ready for work. I had a few beers that night and smoked a lot of cigarettes in the living room, before I retired for the night, alone to my bedroom. I crawled into bed and went to sleep. I woke up in the middle of the night to someone in my doorway behind my bed. I thought it was one of my roommates entering my room to get something off of my dresser, or returning something they had borrowed. I didn’t pay attention to who it was and I rolled back over on the bed, on my left side, in the fetal position. I was awoken next by a startlingly cold liquid (which I now know was Lubricant) being smeared on my vagina, and my right leg apparently being held bent by someone’s hand, because I couldn’t move it. I was penetrated fast and hard in my vagina by a large synthetic cock that was strapped onto whomever was on top of me, putting their entire amount of weight on my hips, not letting me move my legs. I clearly asked, “What are you doing?” Then, I CLEARLY ASKED HIM TO STOP. I ASKED HIM TO STOP MORE THAN ONCE. I was not used to this sort of penetration. I had never been penetrated with a dildo, and hadn’t even used a vibrator in over a year. I hadn’t had any hetero
sexual relations in almost 2 years. I WAS NOT ASKED IF THIS PENETRATION WAS OKAY WITH ME.
I was woken up from a deep sleep by Kael’s forceful entry. My eyes watered and I repeatedly said, “Please Stop.” I attempted to put my hands on his shoulders but I found myself weak against his body weight and intent. I pushed on his shoulders, but he came closer and put his hand through my
necklace, clenched his fist around it and pulled tight. The necklace was sort of like a piece of shoelace so it cut off my breath. I choked out again, “Please Stop,” before my eyelids filled with color and my face felt cold. I had started to pass out and was possibly out for what seemed like a few seconds. He penetrated me once again and I remember my head kept hitting the wall behind me. I tried to twist my torso to the side to cut off his
ability to penetrate me anymore, and I put my hand on the wall to protect my head. After about 5 minutes of the invasion of MY BODY Kael pulled out abruptly and got up and said casually, “Have a good day at work.” I looked back at him leaving my room as saw him grab the bottle of lube from the floor and that he was wearing only the t-shirt he had been wearing earlier that night and a strap on dildo.
If what happened to me, telling Kael to stop but to no avail, begging him to stop but to only have him to continue with more force, having him enter my room with without my permission, but equipped with the sex toys to penetrate me, well then, if that isn’t rape I do not know what is.
I got up an hour and a half later and went to my job, visibly shaken up. I was online at work and I saw on Myspace that Kael had posted a bulletin about needing to find a place to stay for the months of August and September for him and his girlfriend. All I knew is that I wanted him out of the house as quickly as possible. The incident the night before was so fresh and confusing that I didn’t know what steps I was going to take or if I could
talk to anyone about it (It was complicated by the fact that I didn’t want to hurt my ex who I was trying to work things out with, and was unsure she would understand the previous interaction with Kael) I responded to Kael’s post and the communication between us went as follows:
Me: Do you want me to repost this?
Kael: YES! THAT WOULD BE GREAT! (Youre not angry with me for rapping you?)
Me: rapping?
Kael: raping
Me: I asked you to stop and would have appreciated it if you had.
Kael: Oh Im sorry! Ill make you forgive me, promees.

I knew what he meant when he typed raping incorrectly, but my head was still very confused that the situation had actually even happened, from someone I had previously felt safe and comfortable with staying as a guest in my home. I forwarded Kael’s message via Myspace in which he admitted to raping me to a couple of close friends of mine for advice. Later, I decided to also turn to one of my roommates for advice. I felt I needed to talk to someone for some sort of mental proof of what had happened to me. I asked the people I confided with to not make a big deal about it, because I didn’t know how I was going to handle it. Should I go to the cops? Should I call a hotline? Should I keep this quiet in fear of humiliation? All I knew is I was NOT OKAY with what happened. I wasn’t asked if it was what I wanted. I wasn’t asked for permission to enter my room and I most definitely was not in a comfortable friendship or relationship with Kael enough where he would know what I like or do not like without any sort of prior communication.
Within the next few days a handful of women contacted me who had heard about the incident, from the queer community rumor mill. More specifically these women were told by people who knew they had also had bad experiences with Kael in the past or even very recently. They contacted me by phone and email and said similar things happened to them. It was then when I started truly evaluating what harm could occur if I did not take action. This had happened to women before me? How many more women had he done this to? Also, how many more women has this happened to by others and were as confused as I was about what it was? I know how awful I felt and it only happened to me once. Could I make it through MY healing process knowing by my being quiet, another person could feel this pain and discomfort as well?
If I would have known that Kael had done this before, I would NOT have been okay with him staying in my house and THAT IS MY CHOICE. THIS IS MY HOME. THIS IS MY BODY. THESE ARE MY TERMS, and Kael raping me was NOT OKAY.
YOU, should have the right to make the decision to associate yourself with Kael on your terms as well. One reason I am making this statement is so you can have an educated decision, one that I was NOT given the opportunity to make.
I hope that all the women who have come forward, and all the women who do not feel comfortable coming forward- who have been raped, violated or assaulted by Kael, or another person seeks help. I hope that Kael seeks professional help as well.

STATEMENT #2
I was once involved in a relationship with Kael T. Block. It began in the Summer of 2003 when I met him in SF. In December 2003 I went to visit with him in Paris, and it was when I was on his turf that the dynamic of our relationship completely changed. He expected me to be subservient to him, and when I made it obvious I would not be then he enjoyed belittling, humiliating, and fighting with me. I learned a lot about his true character during this trip, and I remember he would say things that really disturbed me. I looked to my old journal to find a direct quote I jotted down. A girl at his school had teased him in away that made him very angry and he told me,” I want to bend her over the toilets and fuck her till her forehead is bloodied by the mirror.”
The week before I left Kael and Paris for good we had two fights that ended in Kael sexually assaulting me. This was two and a half years ago, but I remember vividly how much he fucked with my head and body. It still gives me anxiety to recall everything. I will focus on two incidents I remember specifically for this statement. In both these situations Kael forced sex on me when he knew I was pissed at him and very obviously did not want it. We fought and then Kael used physical and sexual assault to assert power over me. He pinned my arms, pried apart my legs and continued even when I yelled, no, no, no, no, Fuck Off, and etcetera. In the second incident I remember he got super pissed off at me and pinned me beneath him, only defense with my hands pinned was to bite him hard on the shoulder, which got him madder. He forced me to have sex and held my head back so he could spit directly into my face in a very violent manner.
These were not lovers games we played or some sort of “make-up sex.” In these incidents I was forced into sex when I clearly did not want to even be near him. There is no way that Kael could have been confused into thinking I wanted to have sex with him, I yelled no like a mantra, struggled, fought back, and used all of my strength to fight him. We didn’t explore any heavy role-play or S&M in our relationship, or even talk about a possible future of exploring such things. These incidents were not sex games they were Kael using sexual dominance to assault me.
I broke it off with Kael the night before I left because I was scared to do it prior while I was still staying with him. Still, the way he had treated me affected me for a long time afterwards. For more then six months after that I could not have a sexual encounter without being in complete and total control the entire time. When it came to my next serious intimate relationship we waited a while to have sex because the first time I was with her she said she could feel how much my last partner had fucked me up sexually.
Oh, I should include that I had another incident with Kael a year after we broke up when I was at a club and he pinned me to a wall and shoved his hand in my skirt, and into my pussy. I had a girlfriend at the time and he knew this, and that I was not at all interested in him. My best friend witnessed this and she said, “Get the fuck off of her.” Kael then said, “You know you liked it,” and walked away.
Over the past few years I have told my close friends that I felt Kael sexually assaulted me and I have always voiced a strong opinion against his projects. I knew he was a bad person but I wasn’t fully aware of what he was capable of until just last week when I got a phone call from a friend telling me that Kael had in fact raped someone. I felt awful for not being able to tell the entire world about my experiences with Kael, because that might of saved this girl emotional trauma. I now believe that Kael’s assaults have grown braver and more predatory, because his sense of power has grown with each violation that he has gotten away with. This has led up to this latest incident, in which Kael has very blatantly and intentionally committed rape and responded in a delusional manner with defenses such as, “my conscious is clear.”
Now there is a collective group of voices and Kael can not deny that his actions are negatively affecting women. I truly hope that Kael can someday understand how much hurt he has caused sexual partners, for the sake of his future partners and himself, and that he admits he has a problem so he can heal himself. One of his “elder’ advisors recently informed me that some of Kaels excuses were that in France they don’t have the same rape issues, or also that Kael is attempting to read up and learn how to be a better BDSM top, and also that Kael’s current crime was just an accident in which safe words weren’t negotiated. To that I say along with all these other women’s voices in these statements, that NO, NO, NO, NO is a pretty fucking universal safe word for everyone, loud and clear.

STATEMENT #3
My personal experience with Kael is based on only knowing him for 4 days. After we hooked up the first time, he stayed at my house for 4 days before I insisted on having my personal space back. In general, he seemed like a nice boy, but i had some serious issues with the things he said. He told me (direct quote) that he “hated feminists” because they called him misogynist. He told me that his “biggest fantasy” was a “rape fantasy,” and that he didn’t like to use safe words. He said all of this to me before the last time I slept with him.
The last time I slept with Kael, I asked him for anal penetration with fingers. I had told him I was an anal virgin to create a virginal-like fantasy, but joked about whether or not I was serious. He did that to me and then I told him I was done. I also told him that I was in fact not an anal virgin, and that I had never had anal sex with a dick. He replied that he was going to, “punish me for lying to him” by fucking my ass with his dick. He didn’t listen to me when I told him I didn’t want him to. He proceeded to pin me down, put all of his weight on me, and penetrate my ass with a dick that was far to large and despite the fact that it was non-consensual in the first place. I managed to push him out of me ,and off from on top of me. After the fact, I told him that what he did was wrong. At the time I forgave him, although I stopped seeing him romantically the next day.
After hearing that Kael a week later raped another girl, I’ve decided to come out and share my experience. Since then I have received two harrasatory emails from him. Here are some quotes from these emails:

Kael’s email to me #1

“are you mad because i didn’t want to be more than friend? is that what is it????? or are you to concenr about your selfimage than ooops its’ not that trendy anymore to fuck kael t block???”

Kael’s email to me # 2

” you had it bad, definitely, in regard of what your doing now…..!!! think twice before doing anything illegal, i am really certain that you are really interested in your carrier and popularity. this isn’t going to lead you anywhere if this is your goal, you’re so shallow. you were licking my balls until a few days ago, why would you come back with sweet treat for me if i was such a bad person oh yeah…?? i think what pissed you out is that i didn’t have sex with you anymore. you’re a really ugly person. talk about star fuckers right. i can’t believe i got anything near you after all i’ve been told.”

And to wrap it up, here is a post we really loved:

As a woman, as a femme inist, and as a photographer in this community this situation and all these damned postings have brought up more than a few things for me:

1. I am tired of seeing everyone just copy and paste bulletins written by other people without expressing their own feelings about what is being said or even saying if you agree with some or all of what is being said. It has actually been making me feel quite ill and made me contemplate leaving myspace. It makes me sad that we are all so afraid to say what we feel that we feel more safe copying and pasting someone else’s words instead of creating our own dialogs. Although I do have to admit that I can understand the very valid fear of backlash.

2. I know that rape is a serious accusation and that dealing with such an accusation is a very complicated issue and that if you were not there and you do not know the accuser or accusee well, it is difficult to make an informed decision. That being said, many of us believe that if this were a guy who had a reputation for respecting women more people may have remained neutral. I also personally know many women who can fully believe that this atrocity happened because they too have had experiences with this person where they feel they have been disrespected, mistreated and/or abused that they have come forward with. These other girls also have friends who trust them that they have shared their experiences with. So, these people in turn also have no problem believing. THIS MAKES FOR A LOT OF INFORMED PEOPLE. Now I am going to do a 180 and say I also understand that it is many of these people who have just copied and pasted the bulletins because they wanted to preserve anonymity. Postings by “visible” members of our community begrudging people for taking a stance before the facts come out fail to see that many of us do have informed opinions. Further more this quote ” the deliberate attempt to destroy people accused of rape who have no recourse in their community is an ongoing thing for the last decade in a half, and none of the people I know whom this has happened to, all artists, had a chance to speak. They are all feminists. They are not the enemy referring to people accused of rape as being feminists” really piss me off, particularly in regards to this case. Also, no one is stopping Kael from speaking. I think many people would be willing to at least listen to what he has to say. and I agree with a friend who posted “just because you fuck femmes doesn’t make you a feminist.” also, MOST people accused of rape HAVE committed rape. it takes alot for a woman to stand up to a rapist. JUST LOOK AT THIS KIND OF PUBLIC SCRUTINY SHE FACES. and I know women who have been treated very poorly by this person so we can hardly call him feminist! ALSO I have talked to women who did not come forward before because they felt they had no recourse in their community. They were afraid of this very backlash. well here it is. IT’S TIME FOR SOME REAL “FEMME INISM” PEOPLE!

3. If a woman says she was raped there are so many reasons we first just need to support her I could probably write a whole book about that subject but I will just keep it at that.

4. Since this has all happened, many girls that I know personally have come forward about how they feel Kael had treated them poorly. It has been quite shocking really that so many girls had bad experiences that they kept relatively silent and that this person managed to have the support of so many of us and the support of our community businesses even! This type of treatment of women alone would have been enough for me to not support his projects had I known- especially the one’s where women were being photographed. The portrayal of women in XX Boys has always made me a little uncomfortable. In the past I have had discussions with different “femme” women about how we feel about it and have heard such things as “its sexist and offensive” to “does it have to be sexist, cant it just be sex?” Kael and I had very recently been talking about photo collaborations since we’re both photographers shooting within the same scene, working on the same films… and had planned on meeting very soon and talking more about the projects and I was going to bring up some of these issues that were bothering me but did not get the chance to before the shit hit the fan.

5. This whole situation is very heartbreaking. I think that photo projects done by members of the communities that they are shooting are VERY IMPORTANT and should be supported, but we have to not be afraid to say anything if we feel like they misrepresent or stereotype any of us. Because while it is cool to have a photo project that empowers some of us, it is not worth if it does it at the expense of others among us. I really feel for the guys and girls whose photos are in XX Boys who do not support the project now but may have no recourse to have their photos removed. That sucks.

I am glad to see people responding and trying to clear up the situation re kael T Block
I know it is a very complicated issue but I have to say that i’ve been astonished to see this lynn breddlove saying that for once she was unable after having cut so many rubber dick in public and for fun???? just being unable to get political when it comes to cut kael’one… I ve lived in France for a while. I can tell that it is not the first time Kael has been blocked : meaning being unable to leave the country for ver y serious reasons. Kael has been convicted in France cz he simply stabbed a lover with a cutter. Two years ago charges have been filed against him by a French Female director who got severely beaten up by him. Please repost and spread the news.

THANK YOU for taking away the identities of so many male identified people on that list. Since they identify as male, not lesbian, butch or otherwise, they shouldn’t even be on that list in the first place. I notice that you do NOT include any transsexual women…oh yeah, right, I forgot…we’re not really women to you.

so, thanks for reinorcing that trans men, no matter what, are just really butch women! it’s extra great when it comes from ‘our’ side, not just the fundies!

this coulda been a really cool project.

would you have made a list of ‘femme men’ and included trans women?

Posted by snarky maevele on 23 June 2009 @ 4pm

Hm. Let me start with the good. Thank you for your efforts in compiling a great group of 100 really hot people. They ARE all really hot, and that’s appreciated!

I do have a concern that is, I suppose, tangential to what has already been stated about the inclusion of trans men.

My problem is not with the inclusion of trans men in any form (since some trans men DO identify as butch, and WOULD include themselves in the running for this list). What I find problematic is the non-consensual nature of this list. I feel like by claiming these people as butch (which you explicitly say that you do in your “Why Butch?” section) without verifying how they identify you are only continuing the tradition of assigning people identities. I’m not sure that came out in a way that wasn’t redundant and a bit opaque, but hopefully you understand what I mean.

I understand that there are a lot of technical difficulties inherent in contacting each of these people to get their consent and to find out how they identify , but I feel like that was a necessary step that should have been taken. I feel that you could also have helped to expand your scope and address some of the areas in which your list could have been improved (diversity of age, race, body type…)by asking the people who were nominated for the list to recommend someone else.

As an avid reader of Sugarbutch, I really admire the majority of your incredibly thoughtful and insightful discussions about gender and identity. As a butch-loving femme, I am overjoyed to have you representing a wide range of feelings and dynamics on your blog that are pertinent to my life. As a result, I have confidence that you will respond to this in a way that will help soothe some of the hurt that has been caused by the way this list was created. Please do it soon, though, because those who don’t have a previous relationship with your work are not so willing to forgive yet another instance of transphobia and nonconsensual gender labelling, intentional or not.

Posted by Styger on 23 June 2009 @ 4pm

You should delete this or completely re-do the list. Your personal opinion does not trump the lives and experiences of trans people. Trans men are telling you that they are not butches and you need to listen to them. Ignoring them and privileging your own personal opinion over their opinion is insulting, invalidating, and transphobic.

Posted by Concerned on 23 June 2009 @ 5pm

I found this list amazing, i love AJ from the beaver bunch/ tuna talk… my TOP butch choice for sure…hopefully next year Jess from the beaver bunch will make the list also…

As a trans guy, I’m dittoing the comment above, “thanks for reinorcing that trans men, no matter what, are just really butch women! it’s extra great when it comes from ‘our’ side, not just the fundies!” It doesn’t matter if someone who likes butches also thinks trans guys are hot: in this context, tranny-chasing is fucked up. Take out the men from a project about women, and you’d have a great project.

Posted by vancouver guy on 23 June 2009 @ 9pm

It’s comical, really, how upset so many of you are getting over the inclusion of transmen on this list. If you knew Sinclair at ALL, you’d know that he is, far-and-away, one of the LEAST transphobic people you will ever meet. He advocates for the rights of transfolk, and for trans people to be included in the push for queer rights.

Do some of the people on that list reject the “butch” label? Yes, they do. But that doesn’t make them any less a part of our queer community. Even if they don’t identify as queer, they are a part of our queer landscape either by association or history. Katherine Moening isn’t queer; but she’s a part of our queer universe. She is a sexy, hot, woman out there in the public eye who doesn’t perform femininity in the way that we’re trained, as women, from a very young age. Buck Angel is a sexy, hot man who performs a gender that society-at-large says is unacceptable, dirty, and wrong.

Unless I’m quite mistaken, I think a large part of the motivation behind this list is to celebrate expressions of masculinity on bodies that aren’t “supposed” to be masculine. Not that Sinclair thinks they’re not “supposed” to be masculine, but that the culture we live in says that it’s not okay. Sinclair rejects that idea, as do the rest of us. It’s not about saying, “Transmen are really butch women.” It’s about saying, “Transmen aren’t sick, unlovable perverts; they’re hot, they’re amazing, and there’s a whole bunch of women out here who would let them eat crackers in our beds any day of the week.”

The fact of the matter is, as much as you might like to think that Sinclair has some magical ability to get in touch with these celebrities or their agents, he doesn’t. He’s just an average guy with a blog that most of the people probably haven’t even heard of. Contacting them to ask about their gender identity so they can be included on some list they’ve never heard of is exceptionally unrealistic. Even if Sinclair didn’t have a full-time job, and somehow had unlimited resources and time to try to get that kind of identity confirmation, the odds that most people would get back to him are very slim…making the publishable list very small. And thus, the whole POINT of the list–to celebrate masculinity on bodies that aren’t “supposed” to have it–would be defeated.

It’s really easy to complain about the work that someone else is doing for our community. If you’re unhappy with what you see, maybe you ought to try creating something yourself. Or maybe the idea of spending 20+ hours a week devoted to a pet project that you don’t get paid for seems like a little to much work. What a shock.

Posted by Colleen on 23 June 2009 @ 10pm

I suppose by now it’s not going to come as a surprise to hear from another trans man who has a problem with the inclusion of men on this list. If this list had included queer butch cis-men, then I would have understood the project of including ALL queer butch identified folks, but that is not the focus of this project. This is about female born people who may not necessarily identify with the word “woman”…maybe more on the side of genderqueer and all of the other awesome terms that have come to be. And there ARE some hot butches on your list. And they are my queer family no doubt about it.

That said, I’m in agreement with the folks who are wondering about possibly finding out HOW the trans men you included actually identify. One of the guys on this list is actually a friend, who I have never heard mention that he identifies as butch or connected to the lesbian community. I’d be surprised if he did. And if he does, he does. But I’m pretty certain you didn’t ask. Just like you probably didn’t talk with Ellen, ya know?

On another note, there are trans men out here who identify are genders in all kinds of terms related to gay MALE culture. If I were to find myself on this list, I would die a little inside. Not because I don’t dig my butch-identified, female-bodied friend/acquaintances, but because when I talk about being butch, it’s very, very much about being a gay bear. Conversely, I know a lot of trans men who identify as nelly fags who could easily show up on this list based on what I see here. Kinda painful, eh? And wow, what an assumption being made. I really do urge you to rethink it.

Posted by Kelly G. on 24 June 2009 @ 8am

Another trans guy concerned about the inclusion of trans men on this list. Certainly there are butch-identified trans guys out there, but you didn’t check, and by not checking, you are just furthering the narrative that trans guys are just really butch lesbians. We’re men. We spend our entire lives trying to convince people that we’re not women. I hope you can understand why your inclusion of trans men on this list is problematic. It is a slap in the face to our identities.

That said, I’m glad you have been listening to feedback and are re-designing the list. I really appreciate that you’re willing to listen to trans voices and realize that you made a mistake.

Personally, I don’t like being identified with masculine or feminine…

At any rate, I want to thank you for your work on this list =]

Maybe some day our community will agree on something… ;]

Posted by ChrisAM on 24 June 2009 @ 5pm

What an awesome list encompassing so many great people – wonderful to see the spectrum of activism, visibility, gender diversity, and hotness.

I’m a (medically transitioned) transman that is completely okay with transmen being included on this list. I can only wish to be in the same category as Rachel Maddow.

Posted by Jesse on 24 June 2009 @ 11pm

Thanks for the list and for listing the websites for them also. Eye candy + finding new stuff to get into = awesome.

My only “complaint” is I wish it was the Top 500 for even more people to be included. I already ordered new music and a book just from perusing the sites.

Regardless of how they identify personally or if some people don’t think some on the list are butch, I just really enjoyed perusing sites with new stuff to hear, read and of course to look at.

Posted by Lana on 25 June 2009 @ 1am

Cool list! and I agree with most of choiches, esp. Rachel Maddow and super AJ (#40) .

Keep rocking people.

Posted by Dana on 25 June 2009 @ 3am

There are so many hot people on this list! Yay!

HOWEVER- Removing all trans guys from the list seems arbitrary and unfair when some of them, one i know for sure, identify as Butch. I support removing ones who don’t, or who you aren’t sure of, but if these guys are open about having a butch identity, why not leave them on the list?

Similarly- I understand the point of this project. However, I have a hard time with ANYONE who doesn’t identify as butch being included under a label of Butch. I love butches with every bit of my heart. And the butches i know and love have fought and struggled to accept and love themselves, and walk in the world with pride. That struggle is disrespected, in my opinion, every time someone applies that label to someone who has not chosen it for themselves.

AND! What about my two favoritest hot butches, Peggy Shaw and (***SIGH*****) Esther Newton?

Posted by jg on 25 June 2009 @ 6am

If I’m not mistaken, the full title of the piece includes the following statement:

“…celebrates the wide range of diversity of butch, masculine, androgynous, genderqueer, transmasculine, studs, AGs, dykes, queers, and transguys…”

Ergo, one would not HAVE to identify as butch. Yeah, yeah, I get that the title of the site has the word ‘butch’ in it, but don’t y’all think calling the site tophotbutchesmasculineandorgynousgenderqueertransmasculinestudsAGsdykesqueersandtransguys isn’t a little ludicrous?

I mean get a little serious people. Someone takes the time to pull all of this together, and needless to say, there’s got to be complaining.

And yeah, yeah, I’m the first one to step up about self identifying…but it’s not a project strictly celebrating BUTCHES…

Also, not all butches are female or woman identified (however, including transguys without consent is a bit problematic…especially considering how the conflation of butch woman/transmale affects not only the transcommunity, but also the queer community as a whole, but I digress as enough transguys have spoken on the topic, and you’ve already removed the pics)

Congrats on your piece

I co-created a site called Butch-Femme.com about a decade ago when the gender revolution was in a very different place. Early on, some of the members organized a petition asking me to exclude Transmen and make the site exclusive only to Butches and Femmes. I know that’s hard to believe because Butch-Femme.com bridged so many different elements of the genderqueer communities over the years as it grew, and that kind of sentiment would not be popular in the current climate. All of our liberties are bound together, and I knew it wasn’t for me to decide who belongs and who doesn’t. I’m seeing a real divide concerning our transbrothers from some bloggers around the Butch Voices conference coming up in Oakland this August too. TOLERANCE is the key to all our freedoms, and it has to start with all of us. My next project is going to focus exactly on that.

Tricky place you’re in, Sinclair. Hang in there.

Posted by Daddy Rhon on 25 June 2009 @ 1pm

Hi there Sinclair! Great list you have put together. I just wanted to do some fangrrling regarding Her Hotness #8, Janel McCarville. Even before her WNBA days, JMac was breaking basketball records (and probably hearts) at the University of Minnesota. She was the #1 pick in the pro draft in 2005. Despite claiming not to follow basketball closely, you obviously noticed her amazing hands, which translate in basketball terms into her making amazing passes, and to the lesbian fans at the Garden becoming distracted from the game. You also pointed out that she was named league MIP for 2007, when she battled back to star status after simultaneously having to deal with a back injury and the death of her mom. So far this year JMac is among the top 10 WNBA players in (most) blocks and (fewest) turnovers, again testaments to those great hands. And she’s a frequent poster of silliness (and polls about what color nail polish she should wear to the next game) on Twitter. What’s not to love?

Posted by Amanda on 26 June 2009 @ 5am

hey out there,

thanks for the inspiration that this list gave me… i had no idea about the many diverse queer artists, activists and people out there… thanks for broadening my horizon.

two people i missed were a. j. shanti and marla glen (both musicians).

i’m quite sad about the decision to exclude the transmen… that to me made the list more than great… a step in a more inclusionary direction, a bridge over the st. andreas faults that split the queer community. since it wasn’t an exclusive butch list – i would have loved to see them stay.

greetings from germany,

Hey Slick,

You have created a beautiful list. Too bad about all the backlash. I really respect and applaud you for all of your effort. Especially your retractions and deletions of those that got so many people so riled up. That is a very sensitive response.

Personally, I love the list! I love Dr Maddow and I’m glad she’s #1. She isn’t my cup of tea, at all, but with her visibility she makes a huge difference in the acceptance of our community by society at large.

Best of all: the Butchlalies made the Top 5!!! !Ojala, those chicas are muy caliente! !Me encanta ellas!

I’ve been reading you for a couple of years now and will continue to do so. Love your work, your thoughtfulness, your openness. Love Queer Eye Candy. Love this project. Love, love, love Butches! And you!

Posted by little e on 26 June 2009 @ 2pm

Um, I feel like my identity as a self-righteous ASSHOLE is invisibilized and compromised by your suggestion that not all trans men see themselves exactly the way I see them. In the future I demand that you consult me as an expert on all matters trans and butch instead of allowing individuals to identify themselves however they want. We can’t let that happen!

Posted by Bo on 27 June 2009 @ 2pm

Great project. Some people on your list are now transmen. Maybe you should have left transmen on because some of your people may also identify as trans even tho they may not be on T.
I totally support the butch project but the limits of this gallery is that it is no use if people do not self-id as butch and defeats the purpose in a way.

Posted by Campbellx on 27 June 2009 @ 11pm

As a transman who DOESN’T identify as butch, I would never want to be included on a list like this. BUT, I can make the distinction between myself and transmen who DO still identify strongly as butch, and I’m very happy to see my boy Joe Stevens at number 96

Thanks for being so inclusive, and so understanding as to take down those who didn’t want to be there.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this list! I’m a regular on AE (because I like the abuse in the forums) and their Hot 100 list was depressing. I so hoped the visibility of Rachel Maddow last year would cause the list to change but I felt like it ended up worse than the year before as a whole, and Maddow was the exception.

Because AE’s list is “reader” picked a lot of it is young lesbians that haven’t really been exposed to queer culture and just know what’s in the mainstream.

Il y a quelques jours sur paris, lors d’un concert d’un groupe de gouines féministes, Kaël est venu, accompagné de quelques ami-e-s à lui. Des personnes présentes, dont une personne ayant été agressée sexuellement par lui il y a 4 ans sur Paris, ont décidé de lui demander de partir.
Dans un premier temps, après en avoir brièvement parlé entre “nous” (nous étant femmes, gouines, trans féministes), nous lui avons demandé discrètement de quitter les lieux, lui expliquant que sa présence, en plus de ne pas être la bienvenue, mettait mal à l’aise des personnes qui seraient obligées de quitter la soirée si lui restait. Il nous a répondu qu’il ne partirait pas.
Dans la foulée, nous avons interrompu le concert et expliqué publiquement que nous lui demandions de partir. Lui et ses ami-e-s ont argumenté en disant que tout ceci était faux, qu’on était ensemble pour faire la fête, et que personne ne savait vraiment. Nous leur avons répondu qu’il n’avait pas le choix, et que non, ce n’était pas FAUX! Dans le public, des gens criaient “Violeur Dehors!” et prenaient la parole pour lui dire de sortir. Des personnes s’énervaient de plus en plus devant le déni de ses actes.
Sa réaction était une agression de plus!
Sous la pression et suite à l’intervention du gérant du bar, lui et ses ami-e-s ont fini par sortir de la salle, tout en restant à l’entrée du bar jusqu’à la fin du concert.
S’il n’entend pas les limites de nos corps et de leurs désirs, comment pourrait-il entendre la limite de nos espaces communautaires.
Ce soir là, ce fut la première fois qu’une réaction collective s’organisait autour de cette histoire. Combien d’années après?
Ce soir là, il ne fut pas évident, alors que nous étions en milieu féministe, d’arriver à le faire partir, à sécuriser nos espaces, mais nous y sommes arrivées.
Espérons qu’un jour il comprenne que nous ne tolérons pas ses actes, ses propos, et encore moins ses mensonges et son mépris, mais espérons surtout que nous aurons à nouveau la force de le faire plier.
Et comme d’habitude, c’est nous qu’on a traité de fascistes!

Féministes, tant qu’il le faudra!

You are a good human being, Sinclair, and the object of my continuing admiration for your willingness to remain open and thoughtful in how you exist & practice life in this wonderful and shifting world.
