thought i would share my trans playlist. for some reason i have a lot of fun taking songs by (presumably) cis artists about (presumably) cis things and reading transness into them. some of these are cheerful and optimistic, others not so much, haha.

 

Rio - Mika

Why Am I Like This - Orla Gartland

The Cure - Little Mix

I Don't Feel Anything - Ashley Strongarm

Lucky - Britney Spears

Mistaken Identity - Delta Goodrem

Carolina - Harry Styles

Gene Kelly - Felix Hagan and the Family

Steer - Missy Higgins

The Sweet Escape - Gwen Stefani

Shake Me Awake - The Dear Hunter

Be Human - Scott Matthew

Girl Crush - Harry Styles

Drugstore Perfume - Gerard Way

Sweet Sixteen - Hilary Duff

 

forgive me for how very late-2000s this is, haha. since everyone's at different stages with different perspectives (and different musical eras), i would love to hear your suggestions!

idk who wrote the song, but This is Me from The Greatest Showman totally resonates for me as a trans person.

Not sure if this really counts. A lot of Against Me!'s catalog seems to be about being trans in some way or another.  Laura Jane Grace, the lead is trans, she came out mid career of the band, but even before she did, you can get some feeling of being trans in their music.  I fell in love with their music before long before she came out, when she did, it just made it that more awesome.

I thought the same from the moment I heard it.  I thought it would be a great trans theme song.

Benj Pasek and Justin Hall wrote the music. 

 

It is a song performed by the Trans Chorus Of Los Angeles at its concerts since last year.  It definitely describes our community and is a lot of fun to do.

"Slow Me Down" by Emmy Rossum https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiLcw4juIMk

 

For a while I wasn't sure if I should transition and was worried that if I was not "really" transgender, I'd get a negative reaction to the changes in my body. Time was quickly ticking away and I was getting older, which meant hormones would be less effective. I just wish I could have stopped time, or at least slowed it down. The older we get the closer we are to the end of life. Since time seems to go fast, my life could quickly fly by while I was deciding, and could end up living a lie (living my whole life in the wrong gender).

I really wish that America had its mind opened and not so much fear and hate towards trans. people.

 

I think we all do.

 

Hugs!

Amanda Lear was born with a name Alain and became a muse of Salvador Dali.

She was a very good friend of April Ashley until Ashley came out to the world before her surgery. Amanda then decided to go separe ways with April afraid that she may tell the press that her friend had some dirty laundry.

 

Even today, Amanda Lear refuses to tell the world that she had a sex change in Casablanca and that she was born as Alain.

 

Here it is little about Amanda Lear always hiding herself behind her finger.

You know, I remember Boy George's early career, but I had NO idea he was still recording. Neat!

 

Hugs!

George is perhaps the number one DJ in Europe. He is still recording and makes fabulous songs. I am a big fan of George, I have all of his songs including the ones he participated with.

My favorite so far is King Of Everything

When I clicked on that link it showed me an ad first about an "innovative bra" that looked like nothing more than pieces of rubber placed over the nipples.

I have two pairs of those. They're sticky rubber under cloth. I wouldn't wear them to go jogging or anything, but they do OK for keeping the girls "up and forward."

 

Hugs!

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.
