Hey Guys,

Today we'll be talking about the topic of rock music with or relating to transgenderism. We'll start with clips from the two films I think everyone knows and loves for mixing rock n roll and transgendered themes, Rocky Horror Picture show, and Hedwig and the Angry Inch.






Both a pair of my favorite movies that with some great humor and great music. As far as Hedwig goes, there is this once NYC Punk band called the toilet boys that either must've been inspired Hedwig or had some influence on John Cameron Mitch to make Hedwig, which way I don't know. This band is called, The Toilet Boys.



though we all know going back to the early days of punk all of this would probably not have been around if it wasn't for the New York Dolls.




But let's go to asia where there's a new trendshowing up in transgendered pop acts like Lady and Venus Flytrap from Thailand! I can't believe these girls are transgendered.










Also as covered in a previous post is Russian Talk Show host, Verka Serduchka.




As you see the openness in music is getting greater and I think this is a good trend for society. Plus, the toilet boys just plain rock.
