Round 3 Poll 13

Use My Fkn Pronouns：　「I first met Allegra on the bus in 8th grade. I thought they were cool, but I didn't approach them for a couple months because I couldn't figure out if they were a boy or a girl. When I finally did talk to them, they told me they were nonbinary and explained what that meant. They asked me why knowing their gender was so important to me that I was afraid to talk to them, and that question spurred a series of epiphanies that lead me to who I am today.

The conversation moved on. We giggled about how mad their mom was that an *allergy medication* of all things used the same name just a couple years after she had her baby. They told me that they were a guitarist and that someday they were gonna be a rockstar. I said that when it happens, people will finally think of the musician first and not the medication, and we cheered.

Being openly gay and trans in a red state is fucking daunting now, but it was even moreso a decade ago. Allegra was *the* out queer kid in our class. Having the grit to withstand that kind of social abuse while remaining a goofy and deeply kind person speaks to their character. They used their music to carve out a precedent for the classes below us: showing them a queer person can be out and well-liked and successful while still having personal boundaries. Even here.

Next month they'll be onstage performing at the biggest music festival in the state. The song I submitted is the flagship single from their second album. It's about how tiring it gets to have to ask for simple respect all day every day. It's at about 3,600 some streams on spotify now, which puts it above the stream limit. (I submitted Windmill, a personal favorite of mine off the same album, as a backup.)

I think Use My Fkn Pronouns should be included in this bracket because it represents my friend standing on a stage and singing out to thousands of people, in the face of a government that is actively trying to erase them, that their life and experiences have value. They're gonna stand up there and BE the role model we needed when we were kids, and they're gonna fucking rock while they do it.

Even if it doesn't win, I want everyone to know that I am so, so proud to be their friend.」

Fang into Vein：　「okay listen.

Not only is this a chilling and beautiful song about vampires (the way he sings "it means nothing to me" the first time?! HOLY SHIT) it also is by someone so fantastic I don't have words for it.

So he is a Trans Elder TM, he is iconic for many reasons but most of all because he transitioned publicly in his mid 40s after having an established career and EXPLAINED THAT HE IS A CHANGELING, that a faerie had lived his life for him under a glamour while he the real boy had been kept in faerieland! It's the best metaphor of all time and he has stuck to it for 15 years no matter how much it baffles cis people. Also he is kind and thoughtful and if he were a spiritual leader I would follow him. Might be too popular for this bracket but this song only has 1.7k plays on youtube (I can't check spotify because I don't have a computer)... so, thank you for your consideration!」

c. 2023

"The Blue Rose Rare" by Alexander James Adams has been on loop in my CD player for a week now. While I was never a huge fan of the E.A.H. dolls, I loved Cerise too much to pass up, and 'Little Red Hood' parallels her backstory kinda perfectly, so I suppose it was inevitable that I'd eventually make a wallpaper.

Enjoy.

truthfully I don't know how much of sidhe is here is about alexander james adams' transition and how much is me projecting (I mean it is absolutely sung with both his and heather's voices and I have to assume the pun is intended) but:

I see the truth my heart believes, the secret hidden in my bone

I drank the blood of the Chalise well of healing and of ancient lore I learned the truth it had to tell me once then twice again before

I spoke with Fae so many times, They know my wish, my heart’s desire I swore an oath in song and rhymes to brave the blaze of a sacred fire I healed a wound that I have kept for many years concealed, I’ve dried the tears so often wept, allowing truth to be revealed-

You could not tread the path I’m on, and so you found the strength to wait-

hi. I'm on the floor.

#THE STRENGTH TO WAIT. like oh boy not to get too serious (fair warning: I'm gonna) but oh b o y #the strength. to wait. written and sung by someone who transitioned in his forties.#like there's such a feeling of regret if you transition later! and framing it about strength instead #as something you COULD NOT DO before and so you waited even though it was HARD #(simply enduring difficult circumstances is not something we celebrate much and is something I have. a lot of emotional investment in)#and all this in the context of him Getting There and Managing It and being an avatar of trans joy now #like there's a reason I don't listen to his songs much and it is because songs like this are around every corner waiting to knock me flat #thank you that is all I'm gonna go bury my face in a pillow now #alexander james adams #falderal speaks

New album to enjoy!

Not my favorite version of the title track, admittedly, but I think this is the first time I’ve heard Alec do Neverland and it’s wonderful, thrilled to finally have a hard copy of Little Red Hood and Izboushka, Izboushka!, and loving most of the new pieces. Heck, I was never really a Pinocchio person, but I like Real Boy.

hourglass：　「hourglass is a pop-like song written, performed, and produced by one person: yacine! Utilizing a more dream-like feeling in the music production, the lyrics share what's it's like to go through day by day and night by night while bearing the stresses of daily living. yacine! also references their faith as a Muslim person, "Inshallah you'll guide me / Inshallah you'll listen" which represents the faith that helps guide them through their day-by-day.

Also, yacine! is just criminally under discovered as a whole. Imo, she deserves way much more views/listens. (Also, yacine! uses any pronouns!)」

A song by Alexander James Adams where he duets with his pre and post transition voice, I just think it’s neat!

#the duet starts about a minute in #transgender #trans music #trans singer #He transitioned 25 years into his music career and calls himself the ''heir'' of his past self #and continues to credit his old music under his old name #i just think it is neat!#Alexander James Adams #music #I really wanted to do a cool composite photo with my pre and post transition selves #but my mental health was shot and I never did the pre photos #oh well!

How many more people I idolized in high school are going to come out as trans or nonbinary? Because I just found out about John Cameron Mitchell and that makes three
