Being a musician myself I wondered how many musicians are transsexual? Here's a few really cool one's I've found so far:

Wendy Carlos is pretty amazing!

My friend Jessica Xavier is really cool! We played a few gigs together some years ago.

Dana Israel, I haven't heard her CD, but she is pretty famous

Can we open this up to transgender musicians? If so, there's other people I would add...

y2g

PS, I'm also a musician, but it'd be pretty egotistical to say I rock, so someone else will have to say it 

Hey Berliegh,

Great post!!! I got to meet Annah Moore last night @ my first TG Harmony Support Group meeting and she is a wonderful person!!! And she totally rock's!!!

Julia Serano was in an indie pop band called bitsize.   She is not only the most recognized feminist writer who is trans, she was also in a cool band!

Hey thanks, Berliegh. I know this is an olllld post but I just wanted to say that I'm still around and still rockin'. In fact, my current band, The Flaming Queens, is seriously tearing up Arizona right now. Check us out: https://www.facebook.com/theflamingqueens

Laura Jane Grace of Against Me is trans-that's a pretty big one.  She's amazing; she came out around the same time I did, and it heped me a lot.  If you're into political punk-check them out!

Antony and the Johnsons are headlined by a trans person; Antony is non-binary, I believe.  Hands down one of my favorite musicians in the world, gender aside.  Beautiful, artistic compositions...

Others worth mentioing are Our Lady J, Mina Kaputo, Tonya Brown, Pete Burns, Ryan Casata-just realizing I know a lot about this.  Hope this helps...

Anna Varney from Sopor Aeternus:


Otto Dix: (hmm maybe androgynous)


Marissa Martinez from Cretin: (trans)



Probably forgot plenty, side effect of morphine after surgery I figure...

And my friend Venus DeMars!

Here's my band with Sharon Needles, not long ago.

The Toilet Boys were fronted by Miss Guy but I'm not sure if she identified as transgendered or not. When I saw them live she said something about being "one of those scary ->-bleeped-<-s you hear about." They kicked much arse live.

There's the very famous Jayne County who was the first trans-punk singer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jayne_County

I love Laura Jane Grace.

I plan on being the first (known) transgendered black metal musician.

I've entertained the thought of being a transgender rapper.

Yeah, I know a few other musicians where I thought they might have been trans/androgynous/non binary based upon the life they led and comments they made. A good example is Nico, (also partly known from working with the Velvet underground). She called herself Nico, which in itself is a male name, and in some rare interview she said: "The only regret I have, is that I was born female". She also sings in a really low voice. If she was trans, we will never know because she died too early. It's just a hunch, as she didn't really felt being female and suffered massive depressions. RIP 1938 – 1988

Nice! I like it! reminds me a bit of the New York Dolls on a first listen. Which is a huge compliment though! Not sure How I made that connection... need to listen some more. 

Nomi Ruiz, the singer for Jessica 6 and also for Hercules & Love Affair.



Not rock so much but I think still worth mentioning

Laura Jane Grace is obviously awesome, as a big fan of Against Me! it was so inspiring when she came out. Mina Caputo is another one I would recomend checking out.

I was never a LoA fan so I hadn't known Mina had transitioned until seeing this thread. I saw a few vids on FB and reminded myself why I don't read the comment section there.
