    Okay. So there's this song. I've been listening to it for months and I cannot believe I haven't realized this sooner. This lyrics is so fitting for trans people it's unbelievable. (Btw not just the lyrics but everything about this song is really cool so you should go check it out.) I cut out the parts that are repeated

    "Salt" by Bad Suns

    Stuck inside of the wrong frame
    I don't feel attached to this name
    My body, I must reclaim
    With different eyes and no shame

    Try, try to just hear me out
    Don't ask why, why
    I'm taking this route
    It's alright, right?
    That's what I tell myself, but I don't know know

    So I ran 'til I couldn't & I screamed, until my voice was gone
    I believed what I shouldn't have, I don't know why
    These memories are nothing to me just salt

    Look in the mirror and tell me
    What it is like to be free
    How do I grasp reality
    When I don't have an identity!
    Who, who can I look to 'cause I'm not like you, you
    And I don't believe in the truth, truth
    Because all of my life's built on lies

    I know what you're implying
    I'm trying to get my feet off the ground
    I know - I know, I'm trying - I'm trying
    These memories are nothing to me just salt!
