      Punk is my most listened to genre (especially folk punk), so my list will reflect that. The bottom of the list, I included a few very not-punk mentions.

      In a unexplainable order (if I only listen to like one song, I’ll put it in parenthesis):

      -Laura Jane Grace/Against Me!

      -Sister Wife Sex Strike (not sure if they really write about trans topics)

      -Ankle Grease

      -Dog Park Dissidents (all of the music, but only Trans Starship BDSM paradise is specifically trans)

      -Blue Foster (IDK if I’m a boy)

      -Qfolk (Nonbinary Fantasy Trash Babe)

      -The Spook School (Binary)

      -Ryan Cassata (Gender Binary (Fuck you))

      -Rotten Reputation (Dysphoria Borealis)

      -Schmekel (Genderqueer Love Song)

      -Stomach book

      -femtynyl

      -fem&m

      -milkypossum

        Skipping around your list. So far I really like Blue Foster’s “IDK if I’m a Boy.” I love to see Laura Jane Grace be confident and show that female singing voices can sound like however a female sounds like.

        Laura's confidence reminds me of something sad.

        Listening to Laura is healing. I knew a very unconfident trans woman who I was told loved loudly singing in the past. Knew her for years and never ended up hearing her sing. I stopped talking to her because she was a huge downpuncher with fash values who took her insecurities out on everyone she could. Once she expressed that it’s hard to be a conservative trans person. It would’ve been nice if she was compassionate and a flourishing, loud singer like Laura. Oh well, at least now I got Laura in my playlist.

          IDK if I’m a boy and Gender is Boring by She/Her/Hers were the songs I listened to on repeat the year I realized I was trans. Both of which have ended up in my brother’s playlists as well.

          LJG/Against Me! is probably the artist I’ve listened to the most consistently over the past like 13-14 years. Listened to her before the transgender dysphoria blues came out nearly 12 years ago (which is sometimes considered her coming out album*), but I was perplexed by her gender before that album because she used her deadname still back then, but like… I was pretty certain she was using she/her to refer to herself in Trash Unreal (which I still don’t know if she was referring to herself in third person).

          She was already a favorite of mine before the transgender dysphoria blues came out and that easily became my favorite album of mine. Somehow I never realized that maybe really loving songs about gender dysphoria might suggest I had some introspection to do.

          But its cool how my perception of even her old music has changed over the years such that I even find it affirming to sing along with even the oldest Against Me! albums. There may be some drama about her personal relationship with her now ex-GF, of which I know little about and perhaps is just smoke.

          *Ocean and Searching for a Former Clarity came out well before that, but cis people are oblivious. TBF, I never listened to the lyrics until after I realized I was trans a few years ago.

            It’s interesting how we can research things we’re going through without even being concious of the fact that we’re researching our strange life experiences that are happening/have happened to us. I had no clue I was genderfluid until I found out Dorian Electra was not doing drag, but rather a person who went by “they/them.” I got obsessed with their fun music videos and it led me to understanding myself more. They’re the reason I finally internalized they/them as real pronouns. I respectfully called people they/them before, but i didn’t really get it until Dorian showed me a strong example.

            The lyrics to “Ocean” are a beautiful and romantic vision where LJG is clearly free and in love as a cis woman, and I love it.

            I’ll slowly check out the album “Searching for a Former Clarity.”
