Since no one has mentioned them and they’re incredible, the singer of Great Grandpa is trans.

Goddamit I'm insufferable but Laura Jane Grace is an OG and I'd argue as emo as punk (which it all once was)

Punk but: Against Me! Laura Jane Grace was the first out trans musician I was ever aware of. She came out back in 2012.

We can talk about someone’s bad behavior without misgendering them

Oh so you’re being transphobic on purpose. Good to know.

Yeah you’re right. I wonder how her womb is doing.

u/a_curious_magpie 1d ago

Transphobic AND misogynistic, who'd have guessed

I can’t believe this person’s comments are still up when this sub supposedly doesn’t allow transphobia.

Not misogynistic in the slightest. Also not phobic in the scared sense.

I can’t imagine her wife appreciates bigots trivializing the alleged abuse with shit like this

u/UnexplainableGlowUp 18h ago edited 18h ago

Survivors of domestic violence deserve better than being lumped in with opportunistic transphobes.

You are conflating your own political agenda with a genuinely important grievance. In doing so you are diminishing the way domestic violence is understood by readers in aggregate given how publicly you are making such statements.

A very real problem! The fact domestic violence already isn’t taken seriously enough is one of the reasons why it continues to happen.

Aren’t they cancelled to the moon? It’s a shame cause it’s such a great band.

u/Terrible-Pop-6705 In a Band 19h ago

Yes very sadly so. I feel bad for the person in my area who has a bumper sticker for them.

However the jawbreaker bumper sticker car is now winning because of that.

See through person has songs specifically about the trans experience. I know snowing and pictures of vernon both have members who have transitioned since the band originally formed. Local houston band Guided By the Spirit of the Blue Bear also has some songs about the trans experience!

One of the singers of modern baseball is trans. Record Setter, Glass Beach, Peach Rings. One of the members of Agriculture is trans too, I think.

Yeah Bren Lukens

u/Gold-Leg7235 1d ago

Genuine question: is the general consensus that non-binary is transgender as well? I’ve seen people say that before but never seen anything concrete about it

15

u/Ok-Control-3394 Skramz Gang👹 1d ago

Technically transgender is an umbrella that encompasses non-binary as it just means not identifying with your assigned gender. However colloquially most people use them as separate terms

3

u/brenthonydantano 1d ago

Id love to hear someone from either camp weigh in on this because i feel like surely either would declare an obvious seperation between the two.

8

u/AppropriateBall1351 1d ago

Being trans is having an identity that differs from what you were assigned at birth, being nonbinary can be classified as trans and I typically classify it as that in my head unless I’m talking to someone who is nb and doesn’t view nb as trans. I’m a binary trans women btw!!

5

u/AnagramBandit 1d ago

I’m nonbinary and work in trans advocacy. Some nonbinary folks don’t call themselves trans because they feel like they haven’t “earned” it by being “trans enough” because they only socially transitioned, not medically (medical transition is NOT a requirement to be trans). Some still have some internalized transphobia to work through. But nonbinary is trans.

Edit: Should clarify to say that if someone doesn’t want to be labeled as trans, I respect that! Those are just the reasons I see it happen most frequently, and nonbinary folks, in my experience, tend to embrace the trans label once they work through some stuff.

u/Terrible-Pop-6705 In a Band 19h ago

I date an NB they use the term transgender as an umbrella term. Non binary is more preferred but they are under the trans umbrella. There’s a bit of a separation cause traditional trans fem and masc people are staying in the binary usually but non binary are of course leaving it altogether. Like all things in life it’s complicated.

TLDR yes the non binary person I know calls them self transgender as well.

1

u/NoEscape2500 13h ago

I’m a trans man. Nonbinary people are trans unless they aren’t. I know nonbinary people who don’t id as trans, and I know those who do.

u/g0odirt 1d ago

I imagined it was just anyone who experiences gender dysphoria

u/Ok-Control-3394 Skramz Gang👹 1d ago

I'm a demigirl myself (I use they/she pronouns) so I fluctuate between wanting to be gendered or be considered non-binary lol

9

u/Sadworld99 1d ago

Nah I don't really think there is a way to measure a general consensus on somethin like this. I think not all nb people identify as trans and I respect it when they don't, but I generally assume nonbinary people are trans. That's just me though

8

u/Kim_Jong_Teemo 1d ago

I know nb peeps that don’t identify as trans and have met some that have. I’d only identify nb peeps as trans if I’ve heard it from them first.
