In a video shared on the Chinese social network on June 28, the singer condemned transphobia, which he considers a victim. She is furious with those who continue to call her “her”, calling this misgendering “disrespectful”.
Christine and the Queens, Chris, Redcar… since the beginning of his career, the singer has constantly referenced his transience through his work. In a powerful TikTok video on Wednesday, June 28, she then outraged her community in the face of the transphobia she claims to be a victim of. “There is one thing that still shocks me. It’s all the people who call me “she” all the time. It’s beyond kindness, it’s just plain disrespectful. A way to prioritize your comfort over my happiness,” she began with tears in her eyes, facing the camera.

“Sometimes I wake up in the morning, I get angry, I want to cry…” continued the translator of the title. A day in the water. After revealing the themes of his albums, recalling that he’s always caused queer issues, the Christine and The Queens artist confided that he’s dealing with a change in media attitudes since coming out as trans. “There is also a certain laziness, a certain disdain for my recent work,” he continued in front of his nearly 300,000 subscribers on the Chinese social network.
And continue. “Even the man I loved told me it was hard to imagine this “situation. What state am I in? I am a man in society who seeks his truth. I have never felt like a woman since the day I was born.” (…) Not only that, my music. Nobody pays attention to my music anymore because society is transphobic. We are pushed with big, very bold headlines, which happened to me when I was young and I was talking about pansexuality. We are doing this to not talk about our work, not to talk about the topic, to empty the political approach inside, so that everyone will question this crappy system.” The Redcar celebrity said she was offended by this misgendering, the fact that assigning someone to a gender that doesn’t match her;

Sixth album
“Actually, like any queer person, I suffer from this society that can’t even collectively question itself about patriarchal violence. And at the same time, everything I do, which is my artistic re-armament, you don’t even notice. You call me ‘her’? Sometimes I want to tell you to go smash yourself,” the artist concluded, his voice shaking, but still thanking his most loyal fans.

six months later Redcar, adorable stars, the singer returns with her sixth album, titled Paranoia, angels, true love, was released on June 9. Through twenty songs, he tells about the loss of his mother and his quest to find her. The artist came out as trans last year, transitioning from female to male, and urged the public to use the pronoun “he” when referring to himself. If it was not respected until then, this video can be used to change the situation.
