had to look up the song, it sounds familiar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKsxPW6i3pM

Also, J. Jennifer Espinoza is a great trans poet, I first learned about her through her poem “There Should Be Flowers”:

There should be more to life

than disruption

and survival

but there isn’t

There should be birds

singing your name.

There should be paintings

the size of skyscrapers

memorializing your body.

There should be love

for you

in everything.

There should be a billion women

jumping at the same time

to move the earth off its course.

There should be parties

to celebrate

the end of this world.

There should be flowers

to welcome

a new one.

Funny, I just made a 00’s playlist of my favorite “angsty teen” songs and this was included. I didn’t make the connection to the trans experience until now, but it’s so fitting.
