När jag har talat om regnbågsmärkningen vi gjort på jobbet har jag framhållit musik som ett av få undantag. För vilken musik har egentligen HBTQ-tema?
Den enda musiken med uttalat transtema som jag känt till har varit, typ, soundtracket till “Hedwig and the Angry Inch”. Men så dök Against Me! upp. Deras skiva “Transgender Dysphoria Blues” har, som titeln antyder, verkligen transtema.
Your tells are so obvious
Shoulders too broad for a girl
Keeps you reminded
Helps you to remember where
You come from
You want them to notice
The ragged ends of your summer dress
You want them to see you
Like they see any other girl
They just see a faggot
They hold their breath not to catch the sick
Rough surf on the coast,
Wish I could have spent the
Whole day alone with you
