Idk what here counts as indie and what doesn't, especially cause most of us are kinda forced outside the mainstream if we're openly trans. But Imma just starting listing people and groups that come to mind in no particular order:

  • Femtanyl
  • Cynthoni/Sewerslvt
  • Anohni
  • Ethel Cain
  • Shteppi/Issbrokie
  • Changeline
  • Damag3
  • Switch Angel
  • Fem&m
  • Against Me!
  • SOPHIE
  • Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble Of Shadows
  • ZombAe
  • Ada Rook

If anybody has suggestions please reply, I'll add them

Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble Of Shadows

After the first couple years of the new millenium I don't really enjoy her stuff too much, but her work in the 90s is great. Todeswunsch is probably my favorite album. Anna Varney was probably the first openly trans person on my radar enough to know her name. I still have her art book somewhere, it was limited to like fifty copies, I got it in 2005.
