I know there's already a thread about transgender-themed music, but I wanted to start a thread for music that isn't explicitly transgender but has been helpful in the struggle.

Depressing, but very relatable.


Sorry, also a little depressing, but makes me think of the years when I was struggling, crossdressing, repenting, then binge crossdressing again. Hey, sometimes depressing music is good. It purges the negative emotions.


Makes me think about how sad it would be not to transition. I cry every time I listen to this song.


Perfect lyrics. "You have suffered enough/ and warred with yourself./ It's time that you won."


"Well, I've been afraid of changing"


The whole frickin' song! To me this is all about having to transition even if that means moving on from family and friends.





And now a more upbeat one. This is the song that got me through the summer:

The trick with great music, is it becomes more than average the moment you hear a different message in the lyrics that you might not have heard the same way prior to having an awakening moment to your true self.

Here is my offering.

Naritai you ni nareba ii jan

(which I am told means "what I want to be, I will be just fine")

Yaritai you ni yareba ii jan

(what I want to do, I will do just fine)

It is part of the opening tune of the anime show Shugo Chara, an anime ostensibly aimed at young girls. A show that is incredibly positive in outlook and revolves around a girl who has the power to safeguard and rescue the dreams of youth from imperiled young people which come in the form of heart eggs that are the as yet unrealized dreams of those people.

The first time I heard that song, I was feeling really dreadful I was feeling confused, alone and at that time I knew almost nothing of what I know today. I cried my eyes out listening to that song over and over and over on repeat mode some days.

I include the link for the actual singer rather than the show, because I prefer listening to them sing it at any rate :)
Well being TG is no treat, but becoming separated has sure caused me more trouble that being TG ever will be. So if I post, consider it me trying to distract myself from being lonely, not my needing to discuss being TG. I don't want to be separated a lot more than not wanting to be male looking.
