Music Monday: Game of Thrones Remix (Seasons 1 and 2)

What happens when a song becomes a global hit, but the person who inspired it is still being refused entry to the local bar? This Music Monday, I am looking past the usual anthems to explore the complicated, sweet, and sometimes painful history of trans representation in music. From the trailblazing energy of Ma Rainey in the 1920s to the “diamond in the rough” stories of trans men that remain hidden today, we are tracing the songs that gave a voice to the people history tried to ignore. It is a journey through rock, soul, and the legends who lived it.
