Week 4, Day 6 of #TransLoveNov - Angelica Ross

On day 28 of #TransLoveNov, I send my love to Angelica Ross. Miss Ross is multi-talented, so perhaps it's a given that she gets to be part of this week twice. I wanted to specifically shout her out today because of one of her songs that I think is easily featured in my imaginary playlist of trans anthems. The song is Be Strong and speaks to the seeking of (inner/external) strength so many of us experience, and hearing it brings a calm into my heart and mind.

With love and in solidarity
#TransLoveNov

About that asterisk: This website uses the asterisk (*) as a linguistic disruption of sorts that shifts the meaning of words to intentionally reference from a trans perspective (e.g., trans*form). In most cases, it is not used after the word "trans" as is becoming common in many spaces (see this article for an explanation of the etymology and meaning of trans*), except when directly cited or is part of an already published piece. This is to honor the ongoing discussions and tensions amongst trans communities regarding the use/misuse of the asterisk. See, the following three articles to learn about some of these discussions and tensions: by Julia Serano, by the Trans Student Educational Resources, and by Practical Androgyny.
