Gender-Affirming music/songs/artists for GenX MTFs?
General Question
Context: I’m 50 mtf and never paid much attention to the popular music of our youth, except for musicals showtunes and a bit of oldies (from our parents’ youth). So my starting palette is pretty bare.
I’m trying to find songs & artists that were gender-progressive for their time. Since I hatched in Feb this year, my personal “anthem” has been Whitney Houston’s “The Greatest Love of All”. The lyrics hit me exactly where I needed them right when I needed them.
So I’m looking for
music or artists that sort of fit the era of music we grew up with, that speak to the metaphor of, or the actual, trans-experience. Or even something that wasn’t overtly doing so, just music or artists that gave you that “positive vibe” about your authentic self.
Please drop it in the comments, if there’s enough interest I can post the list and even share it for us GenX transwomen, or if anyone has one that already exists, could you share it?
Thanks!
