(#15) Tilda Swinton
- 1960-11-05
Swinton's public presentation is decidedly androgynous. She also gravitates toward non-binary characters, e.g. her roles in Orlando and Constantine.
In interviews, Swinton has stated in 2009, "I don't know if I could ever really say that I was a girl - I was kind of a boy for a long time. I don't know, who knows? It changes." She concedes, however, as an adult, "I am probably a woman."
(#7) JD Samson
- 1978-08-04
A member of the lesbian synthpop groups Le Tigre and MEN, JD Samson was assigned female at birth and prefers female pronouns.
Samson spoke about her identity with Archer magazine in 2016:
I think my identity, or the words that I choose, vary a bit – but I would identify as a woman, as a lesbian and as a queer person, and also as genderqueer. Sometimes that word doesn’t feel exactly perfect to me; it’s the one that comes out of my mouth most often when describing my non-binary gender expressions.
(#19) Richard O'Brien
- 1942-03-25
Best known as the writer, lyricist, and composer behind the beloved midnight movie classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show, in which a 1950s version of Earth is invaded by sexually aggressive, lingerie-wearing transsexuals, Richard O'Brien is responsible for a rich body of work that irreverently deconstructs gender roles, gender identity, and sexual orientation.
O'Brien often dresses in women's clothes and jewelry and believes that gender is a continuum: "Some are hard-wired one way or another, I'm in-between." He identifies himself as "70% male, 30% female."
(#2) Angel Haze
- 1991-07-10
Rapper and occasional model Roes (previously known as Angel Haze) identifies as pansexual and told BuzzFeed in March 2015, "To be honest with you, I'm not really a girl... If anything I'm more on the guy end of the spectrum."
In 2015, she also told the Evening Standard, "I sound like four people when I get written about as 'they.' It drives me crazy. If you call me 'him' or 'her' it doesn’t matter to me. I don’t consider myself of any sex. I consider myself an experience."
(#4) Lena Waithe
- 1984-05-17
Emmy-winning screenwriter and actor Lena Waithe opened up about her fashion choices on NPR's Fresh Air. Waithe is known for her gender fluid manner of dressing and stated during the interview she usually shops in the men's department, going on to say:
I try to sort of make the male clothes fit my aesthetic. And I think I can kind of make clothes that are made for men almost appear as if they were made to be worn by a woman.
