i love his albums as antony and the johnsons but this one is very hard to like because of the lyrics. i don't have a problem with her views and stuff but the lyrics are too straight forward, no subtlety, at time cringe inducing. makes me wish i didn't understand english cuz then i would have lived the album

she obviously cares enough to write music about it

>>
>>64624851
but she's not, at least if my assumption that she wrote the lyrics for antony and the johnsons is correct. there's some really good stuff in there. she's no joanna newsom but listen to the spirit was gone or hope there's someone, they're good.

>>64624809
i'm not sure of her intentions, it's obvious that this point she want to be more mainstream rather than a "kinda-known" performer. i don't think she doesn't believe in what she's singing about but the way she's doing it makes me think she wants to make sure EVERYONE gets it and that kinda loudness in message is what's putting me off. you're right tho this is a recipie for success nowadays, tumblr is gonna be all over this.
>>
>>64624843

>>64624921
the lyrical content on this album and her voice in general has dissuaded me from listening to any of her other stuff. maybe she's more eloquent when it comes to topics she truly cares about, but ugh.

gender is a part of identity. if she likes to be referred to as she that seems like the right way to call her. going out of your way to call her the wrong pronoun (when you know she's trans) makes me think you care about this way too much than you're supposed to

>>64625094
I'm just being accurate.

feeling compelled to force blatant wrongness on the public sphere just to get back at some vague sense of a moral father authority figure somewhere seems much more like a stance based in some deep-seated existential anger, probably aimed at God or one's parents or their neighborhood

If you're going to paint this "the world is a terrible place" motif you either have to be a Dylan-tier writer or have some sort of self-reflection and insight for it to work, and ANOHNI is just not that good of a writer. In fact, she's pretty fucking terrible at it. This is the Macklemore "What if I read an article?" and making an entire album out of that. There is no insight or humility to this, it's just "fuck the world, it's awful, and it's surely not my fault it's like that" and that is just a terrible premise for an album.

The music in itself is aight, Hudson Mohawke and 0PN can be thanked for that. And I don't usually judge lyrics that harshly, but the lyrics here are just so bad that I just can't legit enjoy this album.
>>
>>64628693
It's not like he's actually not letting the people in question be what they want.
He realizes the mentality they have is detrimental to society and doesn't want it spreading to other people and potentially his children.

>these women's programs are disproportionately filled with MtTs who are already plenty comfortable with technology and the broader culture that surrounds it.

You found "you reframe and ultimately mitigate the means by which we organize and counteract it" incredibly difficult to decipher, so I gave you a real-world example.

For evidence, I would simply ask that you attend any women's development conference. As an actual woman in tech, I can attest to the incredible proportion of MtTs in the field.

Or if you'd like I can give you countless other examples of women's movements founded on the shared experience of womanhood now being told that experience is unwelcoming to dudes who decided they were women after spending 20, 30, 40+ years living it up as men
>>
>>64629093
> Because when you reduce a social phenomenon to something as inane as fleeting personal preference, you reframe and ultimately mitigate the means by which we organize and counteract it.

First, this is a false premise. No one is reducing any "social phenomenon" to a fleeting personal preference. Anthony made a choice and lives her life as a woman, it has been part of her identity for most of her life.

The second part of that statement is complete word salad. It is semantically meaningless. What are we organizing and counteracting? Who is we, what is being reframed? My best guess is that you are trying to concern troll but there isn't enough info in that jumble.

>>
>>64630067
None of that information was in the original statement, and it wasn't reasonably inferrable. Do you expect people to be mind readers?

I guess I was right about the concern trolling though. Do you honestly believe that mtf somehow have it easier than women, that there is some kind of privilege involved in living an entire life with gender dysphoria? Or that they are harming the general womens' rights movement?
>>
>>64630201
>somehow have it easier than women
In traditionally male-dominated fields, of course. They're men after all.

>living an entire life with gender dysphoria
"Gender dysphoria" is a symptom of a toxic perception of sexuality that tells men they're not men at all simply because they don't behave the way society expects them to. The proper response is to assert than these gender ideals don't exist

The mainstream response to this "dysphoria" is disgusting because it suggests that people need to chemically/surgically correct their physique to bring it in line with their preferred self expression. It destroys lives and perpetuates the ugliest stereotypes about men and women alike

"A world inhabited entirely by transgender people would look like the set of Grease."

>harming the general womens' rights movement
Yes of course. Things are moving backwards for women. Abortion laws are more restrictive than they've been in decades but there is no longer such a thing as female biology. Won't somebody please think of the women with testicles? How can you expect women's movements to exist when you erase womanhood?
>>

love the album, didn't quite meet my expectations from the singles but still excellent. But I do think p4k only gave it such a high rating because it's a transgender artist making a political album. Seems like they're scared to rate it badly in case people think they're targeting some groups. I know they liked the Johnsons' albums as well, but a 9.0 was really surprising by their usual standards, expected a low bnm desu, like 8.3 or something.

>>64630178
sadly, and predictably, every thread I've seen on here about her is too many right-wing anons refusing to accept transgenders
>>
I really appreciate the new direction Antony is going with this but the lyrics are seriously lacking in subtlety and I don't like how it doesn't really come up with any solutions to any of the problems it alludes to, it just goes "ISN'T THIS BAD GUYS THE WORLD SUCKS"

still 7/10 but it's no I Am a Bird Now
>>
im not concerned with the lyrics, ive grown a shell to overly-political music and it's not like shes yelling on top of her voice about the shit she's saying

it's clear she feels very, very strongly about the songs she's written, and isn't just screaming political horseshit for the fuck of it. she puts a lot of character into the lyrics and for that i believe it is charming in it's own way

it's been tried and true, of course, but the instrumentation backing it all the while trying to attempt mixing conventional music and left-field music, makes the listen interesting which each one

she's a damn good vocalist too, i don't care what you say

No likes political overtones in their music I get that but I don't get why. It's delivered in such an interesting way as well. Especially in a time where things no longer can be subtle otherwise it goes unnoticed, only to be picked up by the people who actually give a shit about the music. It's obvious no one would've given a fuck about the album had the political views not been overtonal.

I think it was a conscious choice. And it isn't as if she's saying the same fucking bullshit we hear in everyone else's music. The songs are ENTIRELY about things regarding the environment, the U.S Government, and feminism. She isn't in your face about it, it's self-indulgent and aware of its surroundings.

Just fucking stomach it for once and listen to all sides of the album, and develop an opinion that isn't parroting the others.

"i dont like her voice and the lyrics sux!!! >:("

Just listen to it more than once, more than twice and so on. It'll click.

not that person, but yes, trans "women" are a fucking cancer to the feminist movement and society as a whole

anyone who wants to know what these people have planned for society should look at what they did to the lesbian community. trans women holding witch hunts to shame people who don't like penis, cis women losing the only community they had because they dared to say they don't think putting on a dress and calling yourself a woman makes you female.

ive seen them do it to young, economically vulnerable people, ruining their reputations and careers, not giving the slightest shit because its all about their feelings.

so yes, trans people are a fucking cancer to society.
this album is pretty good other than the lame lyrics though

The medical community didn't add it to the DSM-III until 1980 and even the. It was poorly classified. Say what you want but it seems like it's this big medical issue these days only because of all the press and good media PC points for supporting it. I honestly think if transgender is allowed, what's to say I don't have racial dysphoria? Both race and gender are "social constructs", so why can't an Asian guy say he was born in an Asian body but identifies as African, because his whole life he felt like he was really black?
>>

>what's to say I don't have racial dysphoria
the difference between race and gender is that the differences between races and their cultures isn't hard coded to your body. you may even live your whole life without realizing a certain race even exists. in your example, the guy may feel like he was supposed to be black, but that may happen only after he finds out about african people. but gender isn't like that, every race and every culture has male and female members so someone coming to the realization that their identity doesn't match their birth sex isn't comparable.

What about people adopted by a family of a different race? If a black kid is adopted at birth by a white family, how is that any different of a situation? Where are some medical journals or studies proving that gender dysphoria is hard wired since birth and not something that say, was subconsciously influenced by interactions with the other gender at young age? The same sort of thing could happen with the hypothetical involving the adopted black kid who identifies as white, since that's all they ever knew.

>Both race and gender are "social constructs"
no.

>>64633754
what you're doing is making up hypothetical scenarios that never happen and comparing them to a known medical condition to discredit the latter. yes, you may feel bad about the race you're born in because of the way people may perceive members of that race, but your body is in no way functioning differently or producing the hormones of other races that make you dysphoric.
the thing is you as a cis man (sorry for assuming) have no horse in this race (neither do i really). you can just go on living your life normally, while choosing to respect the people who weren't fortunate enough to be satisfied completely with their assigned gender. it will in no way affect your day to day life, i'm sure the people who are actually dealing with it, and the doctors who are treating them, have a better understanding of the situation than yours, and would rather carry on their way of things than doing it your way just so you can live in a word where penis=man and vagina=woman so your brain doesn't work overtime.

Why not? I've known white boys that were adopted and raised in the Barrio who were as Latino as anyone who was 100% blood.

>>64634031
>assuming none of the situations I mentioned are possible
>assuming I'm a cis male because of my beliefs on this topic
>saying I can't have an opinion (isn't that the implication of "I have no horse in this race") because I'm not transgendered
You really have no good argument to what I posted so instead you went on to try and discredit me by saying I'm a "cis man" and by saying that since I don't deal with it, I can't talk about it. You should have saved yourself the embarrassment and let the thread die instead.

They're missing those latino hormones fampai.

were they depressed that they had lighter skin?

>>64634263
ok buddy

>>64634319
>ok buddy
What a well thought out response.
>>
>>64634319
Not at all. They were just like anyone else in the area. Same clothes, mannerisms, talk, body language, gang membership, levels of violence, etc. They even got arrested right along with everyone else too. Even grew up, married Latinas and settled and raised their kids in the Barrio too.

Nothing to do with nothing.

>>64634489
ok then that shows that it has nothing to be with being transgender then, right?

>>64634475
since you seem to be arguing on the same level as a talking dolphin i didn't think it was of any use to give a more thought out response

Yeah, I forgot, I was the one who said my argument was invalid because I don't personally go through it.

he compared them to being trans, what doesn't happen is someone being brought up and then feeling depressed about the physical aspects of the race they were born in and seek to change them. them being ok with it and blending proves the opposite of what he was saying

link proof this has never happened in the history of humanity. You're assuming shit and putting being trans on a pedestal over other similar possibilities.
>>
>>64634784
You beat me to it.
>>
>>64634784
you're the one who has to provide links man. the fact that most people know what being trans means (wether they agree with the concept or not) means it's on a pedestal compared to your bs example of trans racialism

I sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of soaring over the oilfields dropping hot sticky loads on disgusting foreigners. People say to me that a person being a helicopter is Impossible and I'm fucking retarded but I don't care, I'm beautiful. I'm having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 mm cannons and AMG-114 Hellfire missiles on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me "Apache" and respect my right to kill from above and kill needlessly. If you can't accept me you're a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege. Thank you for being so understanding.
