Lola by The Kinks is about a young guy losing his virginity to a black trans woman. Don’t know if that counts.

[–] DashboTreeFrog@discuss.online 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I love the song, especially the cover by Ripe, but I don't remember a mention of Lola being black? I know she had a "dark brown voice" at least

[–] gnutrino@programming.dev 8 points 2 months ago

It's not in the song but one of the anecdotes about its inspiration involved The Kinks' manager spending the night with a black trans woman in Paris so that may be where it's coming from.

[–] rustyfish@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

To be honest I’m on the fence about that too. Because “dark brown voice” can mean anything but being black. But for some reason people kept saying that so I just swung with it.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I loved that song as a teenager and had no Idea what it was about lol. Weird Al's parody of it is really good too.

Walk on the Wild Side by Lou Reed

Josephine by terrorvision is about a guy realising that his roommate and friend is trans and that shes perfect wife material!

Transgender Dysphoria Blues - Against me!

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.zip 15 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Granted I'm mtf so that's what I know most, but the punk and folk punk scene slaps: Pigeon pit, sister wife sex strike, left at London, against me, she/her/hers, gloss, murder person for hire, um Jennifer

[–] celeste@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago

Also Schmekel is good.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Folk punk would be filled with trans people. I say having quoted Pat the Bunny at my wife today

How to Dress as Human by Laura Les

Girl Hell 1999 by Femtanyl

[–] MacFearrs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 months ago

Anything Femtanyl is about as polar opposite as you can get from ukulele

[–] riwo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

gender is boring by she/her/hers is played on a guittar, not a ukulele afaik

True Trans Soul Rebel by Against Me.

[–] MECHAGODZILLA2@midwest.social 4 points 1 month ago

Fucking yeeeesssss. I listened to this so much one summer my wife asked if I had something I wanted to tell her

[–] lazzerot@startrek.website 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I assume the person is looking primarily for something in regards to ftm but for mtf I really like Miranda - Frank Turner (the lyrics make more sense in the context of the whole album though)

[–] Cloaca@mtgzone.com 5 points 2 months ago

The town inside me and Like a weed, naturally, as a matter of course from guilty gear.

Dumbest girl alive by 100 gecs

Ugly cherries by Pwr bttm (band has some controversy and is no longer together)

[–] TheSlad@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

If you like angsty techno, patricia taxxon on youtube has a large backlog. As well as lengthy video essays about being a trans furry, or rants about obscure video games.

Sorry I don't recall any specific songs by name that are about being trans though.

Edit: after making this comment and then going back to listen to some of her songs again, I've found out that there's some recent internet drama regarding her. I will not make an opinionated statement on it here as I havent looked into it enough, this is just an FYI.

[–] mholiv@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

There is an interesting song that has been circulating in the toki pona community. It’s a synth heavy cold wave song. It is a MtF song though so it may not be relevant.

Only potential downside for you that it’s in toki pona.

How about banjo? Sister Wife Sex Strike is pretty fucking dope lol

[–] hovercat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 months ago

I'm surprised no one has brought up Travelin' Thru by Dolly Parton.

[–] galoisghost@aussie.zone 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Two songs. Not about being trans but accepting someone you love being trans

Aaron by Palehound

Task by Great Grandpa

[–] MummysLittleBloodSlut@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Forced Gender Reassignment by Cattle Decapitation

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Forced Gender Reassignment

I don't think that person is trans , just tourtured?

It's an allegory

[–] reev@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

Here's one certainly not ukulele track by underscores.

All albums by Marie Dior

[–] girlthing@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago

I have never heard a single song about being trans that's on ukelele. Anyone wanna help me fix that?

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 2 points 2 months ago

I think the whole album Wallsocket by Underscores has a trans undertone. Maybe I'm reading into it to much but the artist is trans.

Banger either way tho

[–] guy8748@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Anything by Glass Beach (two fantastic albums by the way)

[–] Famko@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I think Hellbent by Autoheart is about being trans or at least the music video gives off that impression. Good song too.

[–] quack@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

Terror Packets by Backxwash if you like heavy, angry, shouty hip hop. Pretty much any given song by her is incredible.

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Possibly Like a Girl by I Mother Earth?

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why are ukulele's popular with the youth?

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

cheap, relatively easy to learn, sounds nice even if you only know a couple of chord progressions

[–] Ramenator@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

"The Metal Lady Boy" from Tankard, always a banger

[–] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Simon el gran varon No ukulele but it is in spanish

I applaud this as a way to get more trans music recommendations.

Also, UgLi
