ok now i really have to study plus my phone is almost dead, but sooner or later expect one of my ~fantastic~ threads

Mika songs that just *scream* TRANS RIGHTS: a much needed thread

let's start easy
OBVIOUSLY Platform Ballerinas

Mika said: "she can *do whatever the hell she wants* and that don't make her less of a girl"

of course THIS classic

I try to be like Grace Kelly?? but all her looks were too sad?? so I try a little Freddie?? I'VE GONE IDENTITY MAD??!!??

this just screams trans/enby energy if you ask me

I could have literally picked ANY line from Promiseland bc once you see it in that perspective this whole song fits so well??

but honestly I think the "I was given a name that doesn't feel like is mine" is convincing enough

look this song is a bit weird ok? I'm not too sure what it talks about *in general* but it sure as hell is about lgbtq+ issues

the son of a Catholic preacher jumping out of the closet head first?? and the whole switching pronouns thing?? me thinks ftm rights

"getting lost to find an alter-ego"
"a letter from some random guy [...] he's not a stranger it's only me"
"I can only be myself as somebody else"

COME!!
ON!!

//also let's appreciate how half of this thread is just made of songs from NPIH; he really said gay rights with this//

this just came to me but,, it kind of works??

this isn't specifically about the meaning of the lyrics, but the fact that Mika !!did say!! trans rights with his whole chest when he chose this wholesome story for his Tiny Love challenge, so from now on this IS a canonical interpretation of the song
