#songs about being trans

[uncanny-tranny]

The frustrating part about conversations like "should people with self-harm scars warn others before showing off their body?" and conversations like it is how nobody would tell me that my scars are obscene or should be hidden despite, literally, being self-harm scars. They just do not know because people literally do not know what self-harm scars are and what self-harm is.

Our bodies are not vulgar or gross. We deserve to live our lives, and if our scars make you uncomfortable, we can be compassionate about that, but that doesn't mean that our bodies are Bad and should be Locked Away. Treat us like we belong, because we do.

#mental health #mental health advocacy #self harm #self harm tw #sh tw #it's just funny seeing what people think self-harm is #because they wouldn't think twice about my scars but they would rain hellfire on somebody who has scars that LOOK like they're... #...the result of self-harm (even if they are not from it!) #people just run with the assumptions they have based off of like... pop media and sad songs and never from us #/especially/ if you are somebody who never self-harmed in the most 'conventional' or 'understood' way... #...i found that as somebody who fits that category nobody knows how to treat me... #...which tied into a different post i made about 'unconventional' self-harming bahaviour #and the idea that we should be hidden away like a broken doll just helps contribute to us not getting help or being able to recover... #...like part of the reason i have self-harmed is because i was told how my trans body was obscene in cis society... #...it was more complex than that but being told you are Fundamentally Broken and Bad is genuinely evil

Aging rockstar Eddie Munson who goes viral on tiktok after dueting a fancam of him and Stevie that is backed by the bi wife energy audio.

It's shaky, clearly a spur of the moment response, Eddie is obviously captivated for a second by a clip of Stevie that starts to play. He sighs and directs his attention back to the audience. "I love my beautiful wife, the sun to my moon, the light of my life."

You can just make out another voice from somewhere in the background call out, "Love you too!"

"But I did not survive being an openly gay teenager in the 1980s in rural Indiana to be called a heterosexual!" 

He zooms in closer to his face, it's unclear whether this was intentional, "I did not go through a sexuality crisis in the early 90s when she transitioned, to be called a heterosexual."

Stevie comes out from somewhere behind where Eddie is ranting to drape herself around his shoulders, "Oh that's a good picture of us." The original video is a step above thirst trap and the picture in question is a pap shot of Stevie and Eddie from a long past Halloween. Stevie is in the famous Farrah onepiece and Eddie is in first husband Lee Majors' Six Million Dollar Man red tracksuit.

"You just like it cause we actually ran into Farrah and she liked your hair."

"It was also-"

She isn't dislodged as Eddie fails, well practiced at staying on her perch. "I didn't cancel the back half of our 1995 tour because of morning sickness to get called a HETEROSEXUAL!"

Stevie's smile is indulgent and soft, it wrinkles the corners of her eyes in soft crows feet that betray her age. "You can be trans and straight."

"A fucking ally then!"

She's got a sage Mona Lisa smile as the video ticks to a close, "I love my husband, and he's actually bi."

#steddie #t4t steddie #transfem steve harrington #stevie harrington #trans eddie munson #do you ever get the bi wife energy song stuck in your head for weeks at a time cause your brain is broken? #anyway i am enchanted by the idea that both halves of steddie gave eachother little bi crisises #little freshman stevie getting butterflies over this charismatic sophomore #eddie who has been sure hes gay since he can remember being completely blindsided by his attraction to stevie #is this a vecna verse thing who knows #maybe they went their seperate ways and came back together but either way #stevie also likes the halloween picture because thats their first halloween with their daughter technically #eddie had to scrap his original costume plans because he started showing #idk i just imagine a famous eddie keeping his personal life private and then people make assumptions about this guy and his wife #and those assumptions are that hes straight and that just wont stand

I’ve never made an edit before but the way the fandom treats yamato inspired so much rage in me it got me to try out a new hobby

#one piece #yamato #yamato son of kaido #yamato odenkin #one piece edit #ik this song is literally about the musician not being trans #but I think it also fits yamato being a gnc trans man who constantly gets misgendered #song is 20XX by chonny jash btw go check it out #my edit

[rileytheperson]

My gender dysphoria leaving my body as I listen to 20XX

#chonny jash #tumblr gif search gave me the perfect one #funny. gif searches rarely give you the perfect gifs. #the fact that this song made me feel less dysphoric is really funny because the song is quite literally about being not trans. #ironic no?

tear the pitch apart

not really please be nice-ish but i'm submitting a pitch to a literary festival pitch war and i need to be the most specialest goodest writer so the pitch war runners will say nice things about me in front of 50 people and maybe decide to agent me. haha what

A farm boy follows a thief on an interplanetary petty crime spree in search of a mythical deep-space monster. The Monster At the Bottom Of the Universe is a sweeping space opera about the myths we tell to keep ourselves alive — and what happens when those myths come true.

it has to be 280 characters or less (i'm presuming including spaces a la twitter) and this feels so shallow and uninteresting to me but i don't have ROOM for more and i'm trying to follow their pitch construction formula. would you read this book, is the second line too cheesy, is it too vague (I CAN'T HELP IT), should i temporarily change the 41-character book name so i have a little bit more room to pitch the damn book rather than its title, do i need to start from scratch

#i was going to just submit this as is because knowing myself #the longer i sit and stare at it the higher my chances of Not Submitting It At All #but like. idk. i'll give it three hours and if nobody has any constructive criticism i'll send it #technically i have a couple weeks but i Will Forget and i really do have to rush myself into doing this #i love this book So Much and it's been my pick for my first publication attempt for years #but also. i could maybe understand if i need to pick a different book #like this doesn't even cover the other POV character much less song's dead best friend #my writing #it's really not like an About Real Things book altho it is but mostly it is about space religion and monsters and depressed trans farm boys #and being afraid of space while driving your space van through space and eating space food and punching space cops #and would it be fucked up to visit a space haunted house and steal a haunted space rock or what

Well would you look at this. 😵‍💫 Because obviously if you dare say anything as wild and controversial as “lesbians don’t like men, please stop using a label that hurts us and tries to force men into our identity” you’re a raging terf radfem transmisogynist. Because obviously ONLY trans women use the bi lesbian label and it’s not like there are transfem lesbians who are rightfully against the label as well or anything and it’s not like terfs use the label to refer to cis lesbians who date trans women and why can’t you just let people identify as how they want of course lesbians like men stop the infighting already if you disagree with me that lesbians can like men then surely that’s because you’re an exclusionist gatekeeper who hates trans women.

#lesbian #anti-bi lesbian #trans women #lesbophobia #the raging hatred for lesbians on this site is getting to an all-time high tall will stop at NOTHING to gaslight us and make us out to be #hateful terf bitches for our sexuality #how many times are we going to do this same old song and dance #no i will not calm down i will be taken seriously #you CANNOT be a bi women as a lesbian idfc if you’re trans or cis #lesbians do not like men and bi women shouldn’t have to ‘oick a side’ by calling themselves lesbians #it’s absurd maddening and sad how little y’all respect us #and trans women always have a place in the lesbian community that doesn’t mean that ACTUAL MEN DO #shit #trying to frame this as ‘well you must be a terf if you are against bi lesbians’ is a shitty move and you’re not being original or clever #go fuck yourself #trans lesbians exist and are valid and the bi lesbian label hurts them just like it hurts cis lesbians if anything it hurts them more so #and i will block ANYONE who supports bi lesbians it doesn’t matter if they’re a trans woman a cis woman a trans man non-binary etc idfc #stop trying to frame this as exclusionary radfem rhetoric #bi lesbian as a term DOES support corrective rape idgas what lesbophobes like you want to say about it #that’s all goodbye #sorry but this got me mad you do not get to use transmisogyny as a clutch to spout blatant ass lesbophobia #i’m so tired of this shit #blocklist #op

I know it's probably been pointed out already, but the fact that music only plays in Nimona when she's transformed/comfortable. All the chase scenes. Her cooking at the lair. The dance party.

The soundtrack is the sound of Nimona being alive.

#we all know the story of the painful agony of the trans #what about the discomfort of the trans? #the little mundane feeling of not quite right #you know that moment right before you sneeze? It's like that #also the fact that the flashback has gloriana's song #not Nimona's usual genre but something soft and sweet #and then that song still playing when. #yeah. #Because Nimona has taken the sound of her being alive and decided the only way to take control is to end it #the trans GRIEF and the trans JOY in this movie #nimona #nimona movie #nimona film #nimona netflix

"Yeh Yung-chih (葉永鋕) [...] attended Gaoshu Junior High School in Pingtung County, Taiwan, and was often bullied by his classmates due to his gender non-conformity. In April 2000, Yeh Yung-chih was found lying in a pool of blood with serious injuries and died after being taken to the hospital. The incident led to extensive discussions about gender equality education in Taiwan."

谁把谁的灵魂 装进谁的身体

Who put which souls into which bodies

谁把谁的身体 变成囹圄囚禁自己

Who turned their bodies into prisons for the self

乱世总是最 不缺耳语

Troubled times are never short of whisperings

哪种美丽会 换来妒忌

What kind of beauty is rewarded with jealousy?

你并没有罪 有罪的是这世界

You did nothing wrong, the wrongs are with this world

生而为人无罪 你不需要抱歉

Nobody is born with sin, you have nothing to apologise for

One day I will be you, baby boy and you gon'be me

喧哗如果不停 让我陪你安静

If the noise won't stop, let me accompany you in silence

I wish I could hug you, till you're really really being free

哪朵玫瑰没有荆棘

What rose is not accompanied by thorns?

最好的 报复是 美丽

Your best revenge is beauty

最美的 盛开是 反击

Your greatest blooms are your retaliation

别让谁去 改变了你

Don't let anyone change who you are

你是你 或是妳 都行

You can be man or woman, it doesn't matter

会有人 全心的 爱你

There will be people who will truly love you

试着想像 you switched to his body

Try to imagine, you switched to his body

Sexuality 当心什么会伤你

Sexuality, be careful of what will hurt you

多少次的重伤 多少次的冷语

How many severe wounds, how many cold words

Drowning 谁会拉你

Who will pull you up when you're drowning?

Dreaming 谁会陪你

Who will be with you when you're dreaming?

Same shit happens every day

你离开后 世界可改变

Has the world changed after you are gone?

多少无知罪愆 事过不境迁

How many ignorant faults are forgotten as the world moves on?

永志不忘纪念 往事不如烟

Never forget Yung-chih, don't let the past fade away

生而为人无罪 你不需要抱歉

Nobody is born with sin, you have nothing to apologise for

One day I will be you, baby boy and you gon'be me

喧哗如果不停 让我陪你安静

If the noise won't stop, let me accompany you in silence

I wish I could hug you, till you're really really being free

哪朵玫瑰没有荆棘

What rose is not accompanied by thorns?

最好的 报复是 美丽

Your best revenge is beauty

最美的 盛开是 反击

Your greatest blooms are your retaliation

别让谁去 改变了你

Don't let anyone change who you are

你是你 或是妳 都行

You can be man or woman, it doesn't matter

会有人 全心的 爱你

There will be people who will truly love you

玫瑰少年 在我心里

The rose youth lives on in my heart

绽放著 鲜艳的 传奇

Blooming into a beautiful legends

我们都 从来没 忘记

That we have never forgotten

你的控诉 没有声音

Your accusations are silent

却倾诉 更多的 真理

Yet they convey greater truths

却唤醒 无数的 真心

Yet they have awoken countless hearts

哪朵玫瑰没有荆棘

What rose is not accompanied by thorns?

最好的 报复是 美丽

Your best revenge is beauty

最美的 盛开是 反击

Your greatest blooms are your retaliation

别让谁去 改变了你

Don't let anyone change who you are

你是你 或是妳 都行

You can be man or woman, it doesn't matter

会有人 全心的 爱你

There will be people who will truly love you

玫瑰少年 在我心里

The rose youth lives on in my heart

#womxnly #jolin tsai #mayday #ugly beauty #cpop #cpop translation #chinese langblr #mandarin langblr #translations i made #first time im doing a somewhat bilingual song i hope the formatting makes sense #i was gonna put the spotify links to the jolin tsai and mayday versions of this song but then i found this performance and #idk i was just kinda caught off guard by how. unapologetically queer the background visuals are to be honest #if youre wondering the text in the back at the very end says born as a human without fear #its (i think?) a play on the lyric 生而为人无罪/nobody is born with sin (/born as a human without sin) #anyway inside me there are two wolves and one is desperately holding the other back by the scruff lest i go on another massive rant #about the ways people (presumably cishets) try to make this song like some. generic empowering anti bullying song idk #speaking as an east/southeast asian closeted trans guy like #do you have any idea how much power 'till you're really really being free' has for me #do you have any idea how much power this song has for me in general tbh #like no wonder the straights keep trying to steal this song it hits *so hard* #the entire 'dont you fucking DARE forget' tone of the second verse. like kinda darkly funny in context but god that shits powerful #side note yes i am aware of how clunky the you can be man or woman line sounds #ITS CUZ ENGLISH DOESNT HAVE GENDERED SECOND PERSON PRONOUNS #i mean in fairness nobody actually uses 妳 (female you) on the day to day but here it works SO WELL and im MAD that i couldnt make it work #Youtube

When Taylor Swift wrote “what’s a lifetime of achievement if I pushed you to the edge but you were too polite to leave me?” and when Phoebe Bridgers said “I don’t think I love you anymore, that goldmine changed you” and when Miranda Priestly said “you chose to get ahead; you want this life, those choices are necessary; everybody wants to be us.” and when Joni Mitchell sang “a woman must have everything” and when Lou May Alcott wrote “talent isn’t genius; and no amount of energy can make it so. I want to be great, or nothing.”

#when x said #web weaving #overachiever #tell me this makes sense #it's been in my drafts for a while now #taylor swift #tbh it's all about being a mirrorball amy march variant #also therapy should be for free #phoebe bridgers #lou was a trans guy btw i can give you an essay on that #but really he referred to himself as lou a lot #joni mitchell #shades of scarlett conquering is also my fav joni mitchell song #it means so much to me #the devil wears prada

Finally listened to Dylan Mulvaney's song and?? I don't get the negative hype about it, it was frankly a cute song. Also the "playin' catch-up 'cause we missed the pre-game" made me laugh, it was a good line. Dylan, you've done it again!

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #it just sounds like... a normal pop song. the only problem is the auto tune. i'm not against auto tune but whoever mixed it... #...did not make it seamless. i'm bad at recognizing auto tune but i could hear it #the thing that sucks is auto tune is now like... industry standard but nobody who is responsible for doing it seems to do it right #to me it's justa cute song about learning to appreciate and admire life and the women who helped. like it's pretty normal #i don't even follow dylan i just think she's. a relatively normal person as far as being a former theater kid can get you #if you were in theater or band your normal rating goes down at *least* a tier level. often more than one. ask me how i know. #anyway. listen to the song i think it's cute as hell. i'm always a sucker for songs about appreciation and gratitude

[feline-evil]

Dethklok trans allys for making the realest song for men on their periods

#jay talkin #metalocalypse #i'm not being subversive or funny the song is genuinely just about having that fucking thang LOL #as a joke? maybe! but idc im claiming it this is for me as a trans man who has to put up with that shit #Spotify

[ostentatiously-odd]

Can we talk about how Hoziers 'First light' is such a Trans anthem?? Oh my god

Like.... Thats literally it. Trans joy. Please. I may be crying about this

#this song is about me being trans #you cant change my mind #like?? #please tell me you relate #ong #trans #ftm #mtf #queer #hozier #unreal unearth #music #trans joy #trans experience #andrew hozier byrne

[raytorotits]

hot take but to be honest when some of you ONLY read mcr lyrics through the lens of gender and refuse to use any other interpretive lens it makes me a liiiiittle bit insane. trans people can make art that isn't just about being trans

#emily isnt about being trans send tweet. #im literally genderqueer btw like i trans my gender to songs #that doesnt mean all the songs are ABOUT transing ones gender #be fr gerard didnt write drowning lessons as a gender thing. it can be read that way and its a cool and powerful reading. #but thats not what it was and acting like it was makes you look. well. #anyway i wish ppl could engage w queer artists in multiple dimensions more. #tag.txt

blankets over mirrors, she tends to like it

she's not afraid of her reflection, but of what she might see behind it

she had plans to change her name, just not the traditional way

haunted by a couple big mistakes

she covers all the dents with the way she decorates

where she changed her clothes was her only escape

and she felt she could never truly be forgiven

so she pawns off all the evidence that she ever existed

then one night she got cold with no blankets on her bed

so she ripped them off, stepped back and she said

i don't want to go like this

at least let me clean my room

i don't want to live like this

#redecorate #twenty one pilots #tøp #just discovered the original lyric sheet for redecorate #the one with the crossed out verse #ive always suspected this song was about a trans kid #& theres so much pushback against this interpretation in the community. at least on reddit #but seeing the rest of the lyrics that didnt make the cut... i feel like kind of validates that #bawling hard at 2 am #i could dissect this line by line. but i feel like theyre pretty blatant on their own #+ scaled and icy being the trans flag colors #thom rants

[voidvendetta]

Making a playlist for songs that remind me of myself, and does anyone have any songs about being GNC? Like songs about more of being both masc and fem, but not really being non-binary, or a “Tom-boy”.

#Gnc #voids voice #Gender-noncomforming #Androgynous #playlist #Music #ive only been able to find songs about being trans or enby- but for me it’s more about presentation while still being comfy in my body
