This song has hit more on my trans feelings more than many explicitly trans songs? I always hear the "She's running out again" as it being "her", the person I want to be

there's this tumblr post that really locks in the whole "Kurt Cobain was an egg" phenomenon, linking it here:

(cw for suicide, drug use, and gender dysphoria on this) https://www.tumblr.com/missroserose/731630338348072960/adding-prince-of-elsinores-tags-for-truth

with privacy a respecting frontend https://priviblur.pussthecat.org/missroserose/731630338348072960/adding-prince-of-elsinores-tags-for-truth

this is definitely a link to bookmark and keep around forever

only somewhat related but it's interesting to kinda go back for these and re-read the songs and lives of the artists

Kurt Cobain was at least genderqueer. I can't say he was a transwoman, but at minimum he was gender queer and I'll always stand by that

It was @Cromalin@hexbear.net and she makes excellent points. She won me over, as someone who was a huge Nirvana fan, I am convinced.
