I read some review that panned the solo at the end. They don't know what they're talking about.

I hear a lot of sarcastic contempt and an cleverly delivered insult to the Girly Men. LMAO

There is no frame of reference here, just slippery context and inertial want. And Richard Thompsons guitar is perfectly (in)congruent: Lurking harmonics and sinister, hissing inflections. Everywhere, nowhere wanting clarity but yielding to the Abyss. Alas, as girls go.

Top notch!

That's the distinction isn't it. The line between genuinely feminine and effeminate. Turns out more MTFs have female brain structure, but its been pickled in testosterone. It takes time to ween of of male chemistry and replace it with female. The behavior that ensues isn't forced or a caricature of the real deal. It is the genuine article. Emotions are close to the surface, the need to relate, the intuition, even gentle nurturing develops.Women are women with or without a trans past.

See, this is what happens when knowledgeable people weigh in. Thank you ^^ and yes, cissexist character is not the same as cissexist writer and I'm at pains to tell people that on a regular basis.

Yeah been listening to it since the album came out and have never been sure myself. One thing I guess is that it's probably written from a character's perspective, like the rest of the album. I see this as presenting one kinda muddly view and doing at least that much pretty well.

@valeriereified I'm not sure it's as blatantly obvious as that. MAN WHO LOOKS LIKE WOMANNN, NUH NUH NUH, TRANSEXUAAAL. etc.

@SupernalOne *facepalms* Trans womyn pre transition are *NOT* effeminate men. They are womyn.

@valeriereified how does a woman feel when she meets an effeminate man who tries to transform himself into a female? Welcoming, delighted, compassionate, sympatico? Is there an immediate bond of sisterhood, or does she find it odd, disquieting, hard to sympathize with? Non-typical gender identity and behavior is just hard to get used to, it sort of scrambles one's own self-image to even consider - so the song is both admiring and critical -

This is one of those songs that sounds less and less trans supportive each time I hear it... good melody though.

loved this song when I was at high school and it sounds just as good now!

Great track. Very underrated album.

". . . not exactly natural, stunning nonetheless." What a writer! I remember reading her commentary on this song. Let's hope the copyright pigs leave this stuff alone!! Thank you (-:
