Artist: The Cramps (Lux Interior, he/him; Poison Ivy, she/her)
Why?
For Halloween, I decided to do something a bit different. The artists today never identified as trans as far as I know, but were so campy in queering gender and aggressively gender non-conforming that they embody the wider meaning of transgressing the gender binary.
Today, I am going to give you a crash course in THE CRAMPS!
The lead singer, Lux Interior (he/him), and lead guitar, Poison Ivy (she/her), fell in love over their shared passion as record collectors of classic blues and rock-n-roll, as well as a love for B-movie horror films. This led them to get married and form a band that basically created the genre of "psychobilly," also cementing other subgenres like "punkabilly." I think it's also fair to credit them with inspiring the aesthetics of later goth and emo scenes, as well.
We live in a time of increasing hate against queer, and particularly trans and gender-nonconforming people.
Yes, trans AND gender-nonconforming (GNC).

And what is the difference between gender non conforming and non-binarity?
As far as I understand, GNCs concern clothing (for example, a man with makeup and a dress), and non-binary also concerns the behavior and inner sense of gender. Is that right?
(I'm just trying to understand my gender. I am pleased to imagine myself gender neutral and I like the pronouns they / them, but I exactly don't know if I am non-binary)
What is it with “folx” and “womxn”? I can’t help but feel this attempt at more inclusive language just perpetuates a trope that #trans and #GNC people are alien creatures who cannot be accommodated by everyday language and society. Like the word “folk” clearly includes people of all genders and the word “women” obviously includes trans women. Am I missing something here?

Amazing how almost 30 years later and this comic still is relevant to trans culture (shoutout all the cat trans people out there)
