why do trans women have such an affinity for electronic music?
>>43831200one of the only trutrans women, the fact that john50s+ from her time only trooned out decades after is proof most of them have a fetish
>>43831606and that's why she's been in hiding for over a decade now, because other trannies kept obsessively bothering her

>>43832570If you want a serious answer:Simply>don’t fit society’s mold = seek out other artBut why electronic music specifically? Most western popular music has a vocal part, and the lyrics will either fall into a male or female first-person perspective. If you’re gay or have tranny thoughts, you have a few choices:1. Openly listen to the opposite sex’s music and pretend you’re attracted/admiring it in a cis/straight way2. Openly listen to the opposite sex’s music and risk your life/social status3. Secretly listen to the opposite sex’s music4. Find a “safe” third space like instrumental classical, jazz, or electronic musicInstrumental music occupies a third space where the mind is allowed to wander and make free association. It’s like this alien space that attracts weirdos, commies, and underclasses of all sorts.When I was a kid, this song abolutely changed my whole world:https://youtu.be/7X1w1jrp6uk?si=OE28IYs_v4zFe1LkYes it had a female vocal and a rather feminine vibe but it was “cool” enough to feel “okay” to listen to openly. Of anyone criticized it you just switch to more masculine techno song. In actuality, I was feeling intense mushy gender feelings being able to indulge softer, more beautiful lush sounds and melodies. Wendy Carlos may have experienced something similar, but was under the “nerdy male” umbrella which works by the same mechanism I described in Option 4. She was into electronics and sound synthesis before actually transitioning. A lot of trans women are nerdy men before transition because it’s that third space again, a gray area where you will be an outcast but not stoned to death for it. This has happened throughout history. She may or may not have met other marginalized people through this and found her own queer community or not, it’s hard to say.1/2
>>43831750based
>>438376932/2Also, repressors are often nerdy or artsy because they have a level of autonomy over their own lives that transcends gender roles and provides a level of control that puberty and society stole from them. Dysphoric? Build some circuits or code a website. You won’t have to play football and get pummeled and you can secretly make some feminine stuff in private.Anyway, going back to electronic music specifically. The sounds of electronic synthesis were often alien and lacked cultural context. Yes some synths could be programmed to sound like drums, trumpets, flutes, bass guitars. But they could also be programmed to make inhuman sounds. Birdsong, spacey lasers, ear splitting FM cacophony, etc. But also, light whimsical sweet sounds, cute sounds even.Lots of early electronic musicians were attracted to this, but I think that trans women and repressors specifically liked it because it was so androgynous and genderfluid. Masculine, hash angst slammed right up against feminine care, cuteness, and hope.That’s basically why hyperpop sounds the way it does. Lots of tranny producers grew up practicing screamo, dubstep, trap, and other genres while secretly indulging in female singer/songwriters and other music. As they transitioned, they brought more of their secret influences into the fold. That’s how you get Gecs and Sophie. You’re used to posturing this hard edge while actively creating from your heart. That’s why their sounds often sound like sculpture of a flower made of wires and gasoline
>>43832570Getting to know the human body intimately in the course of systematically modifying it down to the cellular level results in a heightened awareness of the structure and material flows of emergent structures in nature that transposes nicely onto manipulating sound and composing like a raw material, instead of rigidly conceptualised abstractions, leading to more disruptive creative impulses/lateral thinking. A lot of our sort are interested in Buddhism and Zen in particular. And ketamine, we really, really love ketamine.
>>43839907Why do you specifically like ketamine? The way you write reminds me so so much of my experience. When I tried it I felt like I wanted to be there forever. I felt like a simple group of molecules in a Buddha realm of creation and simple emotion, flying between the structures of sound, love, loss, and others with souls like mine. I also felt distinctly like all of human creation and innovation was all just to lead us to tease out Ketamine from within the matter it is trapped or transmutable within, like it was a magic holy substance that opens us to astral projection and paradise realms. I’ve had lots of different psychedelics and none ever made me feel that specific feeling.I would love to hear you talk more about the subject.
