    I don't have to be weird about the fact that I like girly pop music and fluffy-haired zoomer boys with guitars.

    But moreso, before transition I was a moody repressed teenager who was really elitist about heavy metal. Not using my consumption habits as a means to suppress my gender issues more just opened up the variety of what I was willing to expose myself to, and it turns out I like a lotta different music.

    Still like metal though, just now I listen to my black metal while dressing like a demure country girl.

      Not using my consumption habits as a means to suppress my gender issues more just opened up the variety of what I was willing to expose myself to, and it turns out I like a lotta different music.

      I think I basically did the opposite: one of the types of music I liked was overly cute and/or high pitched, because I liked singing along. Also like singing Against Me's Transgender Dysphoria Blues album a ton (Against Me! was already a favorite of mine before that released and it became my favorite album of theirs) and still was totally oblivious to the fact that I was an egg.

      Can't say my music tastes have changed so far though, except I looked for more explicitly queer music after realizing (<3 She/Her/Hers), but within the genres I already listened to. And one of the songs I've been listening to a lot recently has been "More than Anything" from Hazbin hotel, and

      part of the reason I like the song is being able to sing Charlie's parts (its a duet with her dad), but my brother did also ask me if I liked the part where Charlie's dad refers to her as his daughter and I'm not really sure.

        My BF and I love to sing "Loser, Baby" as our karaoke duet. That stupid show had so many fun songs.

          Loser Baby is the other song we've been listening to the most. Often been playing the whole album during my commutes recently. My brother was considering getting an Angel Dust costume for Halloween this year because my brother loved Angel so much.
