Looking for some music by transgender musicians. I know main ones (ie Kim Petras), but I'm trying to find some of the more underground types.
Do you guys have any recommendations?

Transgender musicians are terrible I can't name one

Have you heard of Antony Hegarty?
She had this band called 'Antony and the Johnsons' before deciding to become a shitty electronica act.
Check out the albums "I Am A Bird Now" and "The Crying Light"

why does it matter? you're not using transgendered artists as a way to virtue signal and meet a quota, are you? an artist being trans should not matter, and should not influence your opinion of that music.
Joseph Nguyen
Beverly Glenn-Copeland
Joshua Mitchell
Isn't it possible that OP is a transgender, aspiring musician who is looking for role models in the music community? That doesn't seem like a bad thing.

I've never listened to her but everyone on RYM seems to love DJ Sprinkles since she just dominates the deep house charts

hooooo boy.
alright, so you've got your obvious one, Laura Jane Grace, but I'm not a huge Against Me fan (or literalism fan).
Genesis P-Orridge from Throbbing Gristle identifies as "third gender".
G.L.O.S.S. was trans as shit, great punk band.
you've got rappers like Mykki Blanco, Big Freedia, Angel Haze, and Quay Dash. I'd definitely check out the NYC queer rap scene in general.
Gavin Rayna Russom, one of the members of LCD Soundsystem, also came out as trans a while back and does greaat mixes.
Ezra Furman, a sort of pop-punky singer-songwriter, identifies as genderfluid.
In general there's a big scene of non-binary and trans artists in experimental club music, which is often pretty explicit about foregrounding queerness: Elysia Crampton, Octo Octa, someone already mentioned DJ Sprinkles, and a lot of the artists associated with Halcyon Veil, Janus, Discwoman, and GHE20GH0TH1K tend to be in some way queer.

Used to almost exclusively listen to her throughout my teen years, it was way before she came out as trans though. Still one of my favourite artists to this day.

There is certainly a rumour that she is, but she has not come out as trans. The evidence to support the rumour is when she used to release music under the name Vektordrum photographs of her, well look like this. Its possible she just had short hair and an androgynous appearance at this time. And I don't think we should speculate about the gender identity of artists if they're not openly talking about it themselves, but it's possible.
Regardless her music is great.
Gabriel Peterson
Is she actually a composer? She made classical music played with synth, so I'd say she's more of an arranger. An excellent one tho
Josiah Lewis
For real though the greatest transgender musician is wendy carlos. This is her best album and it's truly unique. It's microtonal music influenced by all sorts of different kinds of world music and sounds like pretty much nothing else.
Of course she also did the soundtracks to the Shining and A Clockwork Orange which are very famous.
Mason Sanchez
Connor Lopez
Yes she's a composer. She's made electronic arrangements of bach and so on, but she has lots of original music too.

Steam Powered Giraffe have a trans lead (she even documented her transition and still posts the occasional video talking about her progress), admittedly they're a pretty autistic band though.

Why does one's role model be like oneself? That's just narcissism.
I find my role models purely based on merit and contributions, not on superficial things.

Transgenderism is a fantasy and nothing more. You can't change your bilogical roots, it's literally putting on an expensive cosmetic suit and pretending you're something you're not like a kid attending Halloween, except you're delusional and can't leave play time behind and face reality when the time has passed.
The cognitive dissonace going on inside a transgender person's mind throughout their daily life is not a laughing matter, people like this are tragic cases and should be seen as such instead of being mocked.
Denying reality and trying to push transgenderism as something natural is pure sophism. Truth always prevails in the end even if its effects will go unnoticed by the undiscerning eye.
Charles Howard
This is the most autistic thing I've read all day.
Jace Reed
Transgender people are regularly derided in the media, and they're often beaten, raped and abused for pretty much taking a decision about their identity which ought to only concern themselves. Given all this hate you might feel pretty bad as a transgender person so want someone as a role model who's faced the same problems you have yet somehow has managed to find a way in life and done something worthwhile. That doesn't mean you can't have other role models who aren't transgender as well.
I think it would be quite easy to have your egalitarian and disinterested approach of taking your role models completely independent of your own identity, if you happen to be an identity which doesn't face much oppression in life. However, if you're poor or transgendered or black or so on then I don't imagine it would be that easy.

Well I agree, just like you wouldn't shout abuse at a homeless person in the street for being homeless or at a person with clinical depression or alcoholism for having depression/alcoholism.

I think there are some transgender people that fall into this
however I think gender dysphoria is a real thing that some people suffer from
Most of the transgender activists on twitter will go back to their born gender or kill themselves though

just make short films or some shit

I would ask why you think so but then I remembered that you're a real dumbass that only speaks with memes and mocking because that's all you got.
Take your brainwashed, emotionaly underdeveloped lunacy and pressed it steadily into your anal cavity.
>Mom truth is a strange thing, I can't understand it so I can't be real
You don't punish mentally ill people for being like this, they need help not abuse. That's counterproductive.
It's a mental illness whatever way you try to cut it. Normal people deal with reality, search why they feel this way it the first place and the roots of their problem instead of (unsuccessfully) trying to alter reality to fit their fantasy world of unicorns.
Ayden Jones
I mean I suppose I'm advocating treating other people with empathy and compassion. There's a certain strand of thought that sees that as weakness, but surely that's really an attack on need itself. A society in which we care only for ourselves and ignores or denies the needs of others would be a brutal and uncaring one in which there would be great suffering. I reject this conflation of caring and weakness. A strong society cares for its weakest members and treats people as fundamentally worthwhile in themselves.
Nathaniel Ortiz
Welp great thread until it descended into another culture wars debate.
Hudson Powell
You're arguing against a ghost of an argument. Nobody said caring for the weak is weakness.
John Bell
Then what did you(?) mean by "This whole victimhood mentality is making people even weaker"
I (perhaps wrongly) interpret that as quite a nasty way of dismissing the problems that certain groups of people in society face. I.e. by not recognising their victim-hood. I appreciate that that may not be what was intended. If that was your post then help me understand what you meant by clarifying your point.

Insightful post, no way it's a sign of cognitive dissonance. You must be always correct in spotting trolls and in case you're not, that's only because they were dumbasses since the beginning.
Now go to the corner and plug your ears, the evil dumb trolls are threatening your very common sense! What a bunch of losers am I right? Don't waste your precious time on them you have more important things to do like shitposting dead memes and yeah... shitposting dead memes...
Samuel Diaz
By choosing the Oppressor-Oppressed dichotomy as a valid tentative presupposition, the ones that are regarded as oppressed fall in to the trap of interpreting every problem as external, and rarely, if ever, as internal. Essentially blaming everything but themselves for their own misfortune. Indulging them in this mentality is NOT helping them at all, it only makes them less capable and weaker. Helping them would be something like enabling their individual growth by stressing the importance of what one's own actions can and does bring. It is for example not the white man that is forcing black men to leave the women they impregnated, it is not the white man that forces black teens to do drugs. They choose to. And yeah sure there are a lot of other factors beside their choice, but it's not like they themselves can't do anything about it, and it's definately not like blaming everything on muh systemic oppression is going to help anyone, or even shed light on what the problems actually are.
It's not caring, it's self-indulgant self-righteousness virtue signaling. All of the glories of moral superiority without any responsibility or meaningful action.
Chase Stewart

You're never going to solve systematic social problems by telling people to sort themselves out. This kind of response to social problems has become popular on the right recently, presumably as it provides an excuse to avoid responding to problems that require systematic changes. And that's easier isn't it, it acknowledges that things are pretty much fine how they are? Well, it's easier if you happen to benefit from the current system, or at least are not at the bottom of society. And such critiques of activism often come from that sort of perspective.
You're right that it is not helpful to blame all of the problems in your life on society and refuse to take any personal responsibility. This however is not an answer to social problems. For instance there is an entire history of systematic oppression of black people in America that is not going to go away simply by saying "stand up straight and sort yourself out, bucko." Of course the laws oppressing black people no longer exist in America, but centuries of political oppression do not go away overnight; there are people alive today that had grandparents who were slaves. An entire history of systematic oppression is not something that simply vanishes by abolishing a law.
This kind of response precludes any of the activism or opposition to the current state of affairs, activism which historically was responsible for improving the situations of black people, women, gay people and so on. It says: don't protest systematic injustice, focus on improving your own life. The trouble is that is all very well on the individual level, if you want to improve your own lot the best way to do it probably is by improving your own personal circumstances. However, this improves the lot of literally one person. Demanding systematic change improves society as a whole.

>systematic social problems.
Like what? Let me guess.
>le there are not "enough" black people or women "represented" in [institution x]
You won't find an even distribution of anything in any field and that's caused by a variety of reasons including biologically caused psychological profiles (in women's case) and cultural (look at the difference between the priorities of Jews and Asians vs. Priorities of hispanics) and also purely geographical. It's not oppression from whites that hispanics choose to study humaniora and thereby do not become CEOs of industrial or tech companies.
>young black people are unemployed
Yeah and it's totally racism's fault that "progressive" legislators and campaigners maintain the minimum wage law, because of course an employer is going to hire some kid who has no experience or education to flip burgers for $15/h right? Right?!
Typical "progressive" incompetence regarding economics.
>black people are incarcerated disproportionally because cops and the judiciary are racist
And the fact that blacks commit more crime, in relation to their percantage of the population, than pretty much any other minority (and whites) has of course nothing to do with the fact that Lyndon Johnson's "welfare" reforms based on the self-righteouss "caring" as you contributed massively to the break up of the black family by effectively subsidicing black single motherhood and that directly correlated to this 70% of all black kids are born outside of wedlock and that a considerable portion of them grow up without a father which is a major contributor to juvenile delinquency and generally asocial behaviour. No no of course it's racism from the political right.
Funny you chastise emphasis on personal responsibility (not a new thing on the right btw, it's as old as protestant work ethic if not older) as the easy way compared to muh activism.

>this improves the lot of literally one person and systematic change improves society as a whole.
One person making his/her life better is much more managable for that person, and more effective on the societal level if a lot of people does it, than than ill-informed student activists, that have read some critical theory and thinks they can solve the world's problems with slogans and buzzwords, and older ideologues encourageing them, demanding change of a system they don't even understand. It's better if the individual improves himself/herself than if the government babies everyone from cradle to grave.
