#filk

The end of June was _busy_, with travels & cons & friends & family & music & back again. Many moments of #TinyJoy and many #happymaking things that I'm finally catching up and sharing bits of. #xaps2026 #xapTravels #xapsCons #FCB2026 #FilkConbobulated #TorrentLove #xapCrafts #filk #FilkFamily #MtRainier #CatsOfPixelfed

Today’s #filk, with thanks to @Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt for the inspiration. “Transwoman In NoHo" (Sung to the tune of Sting’s “Englishman in New York”. NoHo is local slang for Northampton, Massachusetts, lesbian capital of the USA.) I take estrogen, not T my dear I tie my skirt up on one side And you can hear it in my voice tone, don’t you know I’m a transwoman in NoHo See me walking down Masonic Street Cross-body purse here at my side I take it everywhere I go I’m a transwoman in NoHo I’m a lesbian, I’m a legal lesbian I’m a transwoman in NoHo I’m a lesbian, I’m a legal lesbian I’m a transwoman in NoHo If "estrogen makes women" as somebody said Then she's the hero of the day It takes a woman to face ignorance and smile Be yourself no matter what they say I’m a lesbian, I’m a legal lesbian I’m a transwoman in NoHo I’m a lesbian, I’m a legal lesbian I’m a transwoman in NoHo Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety You could end up as the only one Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society At night a candle's brighter than the sun It takes more than stylish clothes to make a girl Takes more than wanting to have fun Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can A trans girl will walk but never run If "estrogen makes women" as somebody said Then she's the hero of the day It takes a woman to face ignorance and smile Be yourself no matter what they say Be yourself no matter what they say Be yourself no matter what they say Be yourself no matter what they say Be yourself no matter what they say Be yourself no matter what they say... I’m a lesbian, I’m a legal lesbian I’m a transwoman in NoHo I’m a lesbian, I’m a legal lesbian I’m a trans woman in NoHo I’m a lesbian, I’m a legal lesbian I’m a transwoman in NoHo I’m a lesbian, I’m a legal lesbian I’m a transwoman in NoHo
