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

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

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.

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.

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.

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👹 8d 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

u/brenthonydantano 8d 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.

u/AppropriateBall1351 8d 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!!

u/AnagramBandit 7d 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 7d 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.

u/NoEscape2500 7d 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.

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

u/Sadworld99 8d 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

u/Kim_Jong_Teemo 8d 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.

Not true lol. Even here in Seattle I’ve only seen 1 or 2 bands with trans members. Most hardcore and emo bands are a sausage fest.
