    What kind of music is there out there to help clam and express our feelings as transgender?

    I know the punk band Against Me! has a trans female singer, in fact, one of their albums is called, "Transgender Dysphoria Blues" but I personally don't care for their music myself.

    I just found a song on Spotify called "Born In the Wrong Body by Danielle Ate The Sandwich".

    It doesn't explicitly say it's a trans anthem, but I always saw "I'm Still Here" by the Goo Goo Dolls as one.

    Here's some more than I can think of that have trans themes or you can read them as such:

    Against Me! - FUCKMYLIFE666
    Peter Gabriel / Arcade Fire - My Body is a Cage
    Mina Caputo - Got Monsters
    Antony and the Johnsons - For Today I'm a Boy
    Manic Street Preachers - Born a Girl
    Jekyll and Hyde: The Musical - This is the Moment
    3 Doors Down - Let Me Be Myself
    Shinedown - Second Chance
    Mulan - Reflection

    Reflection, yes. The Christina Aguilera version of the Mulan song. It always makes me think of myself being trans or other people being gay or just coming out in general. I listen to it way more than is probably healthy. Born This Way by Lady Gaga is also one.

    I don't think I've really thought about song that express myself as trans. But I have a lot of songs that express my life and emotions in general and many of those emotions are due to being closeted. MCR's I'm Not Okay... that's been played a lot. Has just finished actually.

    I'm gonna go through my songs now...
