MODERATORS
Lately "She Likes a Boy" by Nxdia. I also got turned onto a bunch of trans-ish brit-pop from reading "Little Blue Encyclopedia (for Vivian)" (highly recommend).
Ooo trans-ish brit pop sounds like just my jam! If you have any recommendations in that would be fantastic :D
Also, will def check out the book! Really itching to get back into reading lately so this sounds like the perfect opportunity
There are way more mentions in the book, but one prominent song that I think can be read really trans is "Mis-shapes" by Pulp. A bunch of Suede can be read the same way as well!
I really liked Little Blue, it's framing is super interesting (the main character explores their relationship and love for a fellow trans lady Vivian through a shared interest in a (fictional) show called "Little Blue"). Also highly recommend "A Safe Girl to Love" (or any of Casey Plett's work), its a bunch of short stories so easy to get into, as well as Nevada!!!
