noise rock, hardcore, and lesbianism

1. if our existence already makes people uncomfortable, why not embrace uncomfortability. make uncomfortable art.

2. noise allows you to channel emotion directly into sound. the trans experience is full of emotions that are hard to explain through words, so why not skip the words. our experience as trans people are worth hearing.

3. in a world that increasingly demands our silence, noise creates a way to be loud. loud about our love, our anger, our identity.

4. noise is messy and so are we. there is no one right way to be trans, and there is no one right way to make noise.

5. the art of noise comes from the way you shape it, which parallels the trans experience. you become the person that you choose to create.

You WILL be racist. You WILL do racist things. You have ALREADY done both. Learn and move on. There's no ideological purity you can hold on to, i promise. Proving you can take the criticism without making it a big deal and practice what you preach is better than any clean slate.
