CHART Magazine’s 15th Annual Year-end Readers’ Poll named The Cliks lead singer Lucas Silveira, an out transgender man, the sexiest Canadian man. Silveira cleaned up with 38 percent of the reader vote in the category aptly named Throw Your Underwear Award.
CHART Magazine is a top music publication in Canada, which is why it is so sensational that it entered a transperson into its sexiest man poll. Contests, polls and countdowns like this one usually reinforce stereotypical ideas of who is attractive, leaving out people whose gender does not conform to their sex.
God, I saw him perform a couple years ago and I wholeheartedly agree: definitely the sexiest man.
There is SO much more I could say.
