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.

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!

The link works for me, it goes directly to Boy George's video titled Yes We Can

 

I swear, I did  not sent any "funny" pictures

      I agree.  But sometimes unethical conduct must still be legal, because the cure would be worse than the disease.  One problem we have today with the internet is the trolls can gang up on someone and destroy them - we see the with school bullying as well.   He was in the Southern Baptist Convention, and maybe he should have moved his church over to say the American Baptists, who might have been able to help him. A Southern Baptist pastor is king in his church, peerless, which means he could not have gone for help in his church.  And he could not have gone for help from any other pastor in the SBC because they likely affirm the SBC statements on these matters.  I think he was stuck.    I read this when it came out in the news.  Very sad situation.

      One organization that I know of that is dedicated to assisting LGBT seniors is SAGE.  They advocate for, and have services for, all LGBT folks, not just trans folk.  You can find their website Here.  I am not sure what, if anything, they have in terms of financial assistance.  I'll let you know if I find anything else.   Carolyn Marie

      This was an angle that I was very suspicious of as well, and may be the hook on which the settlement was hung.      Not at all strange especially if they had former patients who moved there that still owed money on their bills or they were buying hospital supplies from a Texas corporation. They may have business licenses in other states as well.  Small loss, but saxeT shot itself in the foot there since the license was a source of income to the state.

      Nah it's fine, I'm past the point of really blaming them most of the time. I've gotten used to it, and they could be a whole lot worse.   I'm glad you have a good place, though <3

      I wonder about the professional knowledge level here.  Men have milk ducts.  She, as a nurse, should know this.  This is interesting  https://www.livescience.com/45732-can-men-lactate.html  Yes, men can lactate and have lactated, trans or cis.  The idea that Birdie does not have milk ducts or tissue is just plain wrong.  Her statement indicates that she has not looked at the medical record, which she should be familiar with to treat the patient.

      Trans women can lactate under the right conditions. But that's not even the case in your situation.  It's so stupid how they simply refuse to accept your reality.

      I used to include going ti worship but no longer    awkward good fir you. enjoy. :)   raine  sorry. my family is pretty lousy at support too. my part time job helps alot. hope it gets better fir you n all

      It takes a lot to make me that way. Then it depends on which side comes out. I could simply walk away or be very confrontational. I'm used to being made fun of and criticized. I don't take to kindly if someone talks about my kids or family though. 
    • missyjo
      aren't folks odd ..just dress differently..like pick to be a boy for today instead of the girl you're screaming you are really..so that I can be more comfortable...needs   I'm sorry   I have family wedding this summer too..I've said for 2 years I'm not going n I've skipped holidays for that period..now I'm being told I'd best be there in boy mode...yeah right..laughs   sorry. I'm planning on once again skipping the event. until you'll let me attend as myself, I guess you dint really miss me that much .so I find something else to do n just accept the number of folks who unconditionally love me is a lot smaller than claimed.  oh well.   good luck sweetie

      Mia, forgive me, I should have introduced myself. Hi, I’m Bette. I work with trans youth and I have many young trans friends; the other day I was at a party with 30-40 of them. If you’re envious of young trans folks I understand; when I left that party I broke down in tears thinking of all I’d missed out on as a young person. But I was also happy for them, and if anyone were to try and take away their happiness I would fight for them with all my strength.   I don’t know you, but it seems to me you’re angry about more than just your inability to find help? I’m very sorry to hear that you are struggling, but I hope you are not blaming young trans folks for that. Imo there is a generation gap in the trans community and it needs healing, not exacerbating. We are far stronger when we are united.
