History of trans musician Wendy Carlos (2/3)
I learned about this incredible woman after coming across an old video with her on YouTube the other week (see part 3 of the thread for link).
And I thought it’s important to share given that trans history is being actively erased from public consciousness these days, and right-wing politicians / pundits are trying to claim that trans people are invading and ruining culture. In reality, people like Carlos have been here this whole time, creating the very culture that these jerks claim is being ruined by “woke”.
This is also telling. Carlos said about the public’s reaction to her transition, back in the 80s:
"The public turned out to be amazingly tolerant or, if you wish, indifferent ... There had never been any need of this charade to have taken place. It had proven a monstrous waste of years of my life."
