Transsexual Musicians that rock!

Jethro Tull wasn't my cup of tea but they always had a strong following coming from near where I live and grew up.They had a TS regular session musician who played on many albums and I think a few live shows before transition

Dee (formerly David) Palmer. She was born with ambiguous genitalia and had surgery as a child to "correct" them. Her dysphoria got out of control once her wife died so she transitioned.

I thought about Genesis but they don't really consider themselves to be trans. Quite an interesting history there but not someone easily labeled.

Well, whatever the case, Gen is awesome!

Gen is in a movie coming out, a band I like DJmRex is doing the music:

The second band I was in was very Throbbing Gristle influenced.

Something to keep an eye on. Thanks for the tip!

Laura Jane Grace , she is absolutely amazing and I loved her album about being trans (actually all her albums have songs about being trans she said)! She also did a little mini series on being transgender you can check out here --> http://on.aol.com/video/true-trans-s1-e1---growing-up-518451031

Albuquerque and Santa Fe we have a few bands.  A Band Named Sue the male vocalist is a trans guy. (There is another Band Named Sue not in ABQ). There are three other groups with trans folks but I don't know if they are "out" as trans. All of the groups they are trans masculine or non-binary most of them have not made medical transitions.

I'm a trans musician, but I'm not sure "rock" is the best way to describe me.
The link below has a couple of my piano improvs and one song I made probably
10 or more years ago. I wish I had someone to collaborate with.

Thank you. Sadly, I haven't played in over two years now. I'd really like to find someone to collaborate with who is a creative songwriter and sings well; particularly a soprano or mezzo-soprano voice. I can manage it, myself, but I'd rather it be someone whose voice is already there naturally. I want to create a sort of folky sound with piano, acoustic guitar, some cultural instruments like mandolin and dulcimer, and violin. It would have more of a dark/melancholic feel with introspective and abstract lyrics. Finding someone interested in doing that is difficult when you live in the South.

That's one of the most avant-garde pieces of music and video I've ever seen. I had heard of Sopor Aeturnus before but that's the first time I've seen any of their work.

Another vote for LJG

Here's 37 more for the list. Some of them have been mentioned here many times but some are new. I haven't had a chance to listen to all the songs yet but there should be something for everyone.
