Athens Boys Choir – the stage name of Harvey Katz, a jewish pansexual man & homo hip hop/spoken word/lo-fi artist. His wordplay is very clever, catchy, and politically based. Listen to “f*gette” which came out in 2008 and he actually raps about being trans and uses the term pansexual! “The metrosexual threw off my gaydar” is another great song!
Black Dresses – indie noise pop collaboration between two trans wlw solo artists, Girls Rituals and Rook. Their entire debut album “WASTEISOLATION” (2018) is about being transgender and gay in todays violently homophobic and transphobic world. I recc “THOUGHT AND PRAYERS” in particular.
Girls Rituals – the stage name of Devi McCallion, who i think also sometimes goes by Dizzy. She’s half of the noise pop duo black dresses & a wlw solo experimental electronic artist. Most of her music is on spotify, but she’s also on bandcamp here.
Jake Edwards – gay youtuber & pop artist. His newest album “Pink + Blue” was released this year, and “Pink & Blue” and “You can’t tell me (i’m not a man)” are both very relatable queer songs. I also really like “Second Puberty.” He recently made a video with his partner and its very sweet and cute to watch!!
Laura Jane Grace – wlw frontwoman of punk rock bands Against Me! and Laura Jane Grace & the Devouring Mothers. She’s also working on a solo album i think! She briefly dated fellow queer french-canadian musician Cœur de Pirate. Listen to “transgender dysphoria blues” and “true trans soul rebel.”
Left at London – on tumblr @leftatlondon, Nat Puff is probably best known for a bunch of her viral vines, but she’s a lesbian and recently released a new ep this year, “transgender street legend vol. 1.” Her voice is so lovely and the music is catchy as hell. “Revolution lover” has been stuck in my head ever since the first time i heard it. Her music is on spotify but she also has a bandcamp.
MowMowMow – on tumblr @mowmers, her music isnt on spotify yet but her bandcamp can be found right here. She’s a wlw synth pop artist and producer! Her latest album “Cryptid” looks super interesting and her voice is gorgeous. “Queer Kids” is a great and super catchy song and the album is only 7$ and you know you’re supporting a great artist! Also, her name is Bug? How cute is that?
Sateen – married queer electronic/disco duo composed of Miss Queen Sateen & Exquisite! They first rose to fame in New York as a “hetero drag couple” before Exquisite came out as a trans lesbian. Miss Queen Sateen is also pansexual! Their self titled EP is beautiful and i really reccomend listening to “Blacklisted.“ Miss Queen Sateen acts as vocalist and Exquisite is the instrumentalist and producer.
Schmekel – all transgender, all jewish trans-core folk punk band. Their name means “Little Penis” in Yiddish. The band consists of Vocalist/Guitarist Lucian Kahn, Keyboardist/ Vocalist Ricky Riot, Bassist Nogga Schwartz, and Drummer Simcha Halpert-Hanson. Simcha prefers not to be identified with gendered honorifics or pronouns and the rest of the band all use he/him pronouns. Lucian is a gay trans man! Listen to “genderqueer love song”, “gay shame”, “ftm at the dmv” and “new men with old man names.”
My body is now beyond the binary. If you looked in an anatomy textbook
today, you wouldn’t see my body because I don’t have breasts but I still
have a vulva. A lot of people are confused by trans folks. They assume
that they hate everything about their body. But for me, changing my
bottom half never factored into my transition. Even as I become more
masculine-presenting as the testosterone does its job, my pussy isn’t
going anywhere. In my generation, my body is still going to be new for
most folks, but I think for the kids coming up, they’re going to be
like, “Whatever, grandpa has a vagina.” – William Lavinia, performer and model
Yeeah… I’d love to be like a “normal” guy and able to take my shirt off but frankly, even after top surgery, that just seems… weird. And I have a wide pelvis that I feel like everyone would stare at. And the scars. So.
Though I do have one way to feel better about the wide pelvis.
One of my favorite leading men is cursed/gifted with the same thing.
some people on insta said i should post my workout routine since i mentioned how im so happy with the results, so here’s my little workout guide for my fellow trans folk! I focused on getting a more masculine body because obviously that’s what I want. I’m so happy with the results, this workout is saving my fucking life!!!! I can’t get on T soon so this has really been keeping my dysphoria in check. I barely get body dysphoria, i love how my clothes looks on me, i love feeling confident for once in my life!!! HOWEVER Don’t go overboard with working out my friends. Do not work out in a binder, you MUST take days off to let your muscles heal, and you CAN’T starve yourself! Fitness is all about health and diet! Take care of yourself. This is also MY workout routine, you may not get the same results as I have! Every body is different.
EDIT: ahh I really didn’t expect this thing to blow up….A few people have brought it to my attention that some of the nutrition here could be wrong/not work for everyone. I apologize if I caused any harm. I think I stressed enough that you shouldn’t starve yourself to lose weight. That’s very dangerous, and if you’re prone to such habits I suggest don’t count calories, etc, and just make sure your diet is very nutritious. I just provided a way to lose weight that my doctor told me about. You don’t need to lose weight if you don’t want to. Obviously if you’re already thin there’s no need to make a goal to lose weight; that’s dangerous. Also, some of this may or may not be helpful depending on your body type. I was underweight before working out so I have no idea how it would affect someone overweight! Please don’t hold this post to such a high standard; this was just my own routine and things I do to stay in shape, I obviously can’t cater to everyone. I literally didn’t expect this post to blow up like it did, this was literally just for a few people. Sorry for any harm it caused!
