not me putting on Ani DiFranco's "Dilate" and flashing back immediately the summer before I turned 18, sitting in the parking lot of my job, crying softly to this album out of an inexpressible sadness that I couldn't sound like her, couldn't have the queer experiences that led to these songs, that I was so moved but felt that it wasn't *for* me, a dorky suburban "boy"
growing up unknowably trans was punctuated so often by moments like this
anyway give this album a listen, it's powerful!
