Ah!! Fagette was my jam as a baby queer like twelve years ago. Phrases from the lyrics still regularily pop up into my mind at random (and usually inappropriate) times.

from the first link:

You couldn’t tell by looking at him, with his sleek black hair and flat chest, but Harvey Katz is not your typical male. A little more than a decade ago, he was actually a she.

oof. it's from 2014, but seriously: if i never see this trope in stuff written about trans people again, it'll be too soon.

This thread led me to this performance of A Letter to the Girl I used to Be. It made me cry.
