8. JD Samson
JD Samson is a musician and producer, and is a member of the lesbian bands MEN and Le Tigre. Samson prefers to be referred to as a woman, and was classified as a woman at birth. However, she took hormones in the 1990s, which resulted in her more chiseled features and facial hair. Samson says that she is “post-gender,” and feels that the labels of “male” and “female” are outdated. When she was 15, she came out as a lesbian, and is known for her activism when it comes to LGBT rights. The 37-year-old is also a songwriter and a graduate of Sarah Lawrence College, where she earned her degree in film.
