The Name
Top Hot Butches, I know, is a controversial thing to call this project. I bet very few of these people self-label as “butch.”
I use the term here in the broadest sense – as an adjective descriptor, meaning an intentional display of masculinity.
I am using it instead of another term – like androgynous, genderqueer, or transmasculine – because I, personally, want more butch reclamation and visiblity, because I think butch identity is more widely varied in range of expression and identity than is usually represented, because I think it is the most accessible and recognizable word representing some sort of female masculinity, because I want to encourage its reclamation and intentional display, because it is sharp and satisfying as a title, and because it is slightly controversial and will stir up interest.
I mean absolutely no offense to anyone on this list, and purveyors of the list should know that the people on this list may not identify as butch – or as any of these terms – but they do present in a way that rejects compulsory femininity, and displays some sort of intentional masculinity, and that is what unites them all in this particular list.
About
Top Hot Butches, a project by Sinclair Sexsmith, celebrates the wide range of diversity of butch, masculine, androgynous, genderqueer, transmasculine, studs, AGs, dykes, queers, and transguys, while calling attention to some of the powerful activism, culture, and communities that we are creating. And, to look at photos of hotties. Get in touch with Mr. Sexsmith at aspiringstud[at]gmail.com or follow on Twitter.
