Fear of Being Butch

Nancy | May 14, 2017

There’s no shame in asking for a ‘90s boy-band haircut.

— Khane Kutzwell's barbershop is Camera Ready Kutz. 

Thanks to the many people helped produce Kathy's story on being butch: Esther Godoy and Madelaine Imber from Butch Is Not A Dirty Word, Rae Tutera from Bindle & Keep, the women of the Butch-Femme Social Club of LA, and everyone who talked to Kathy but didn’t make it into the final story: Lillian Faderman, BK Chan, and Aheri Stanford-Asiyo. We also had production help this week from Cathy Wong, Tommy Bazarian, and Rachel Matlow. 

Episode scoring by Jeremy Bloom, Isaac Jones, Broke for Free ("Calm the Fuck Down"), and James Pants ("Bird"). Theme by Alexander Overington.
