I'm cross-posting this from my private blog.
This video is so
me.
The song is my genre. The visuals are my aesthetic. The lyrics are relatable.
And I feel like in a way, it sort of describes me. I mean I love the original song too, but specifically this male cover of it. (And not just because he's got, like, my dream voice.)
In a way, it sort of describes my experience as a trans guy with a more "traditionally feminine" personality. As far as gender stereotypes go, I'm more soft than tough, more gentle than firm, more "feminine" than "masculine." Which is funny and ironic, because I have absolutely no doubts in my mind that I'm not a girl. Which probably seems strange to other people, if not a contradiction.
Everyone's experience is different, though. This is just how I am.
I'm obsessed with this right now.
