Right now it means so much to me that this community is trans/queer inclusive
I’m a younger transgirl who discovered gizzard right when I transitioned a little more than two years ago. The band has been a near constant back-drop in my life.
One of the first times I went out fem presenting was to the Detroit show in 2022. I was terrified, but I found that I was embraced and everyone was so incredibly kind to me. 6 shows later, and I think that almost every show I’ve been to they’ve said something trans/queer affirming on stage. My favorite was the Chicago 2023 show where Joey said he was “dressed like a bud light can”. All of this, coupled with the drag performance & the fact that I’ve seen trans flags at every show I’ve been to, makes me feel so safe, seen, and welcomed.
Right now things are getting increasingly scary in the US and around the world for people like me. This band and community have been a major source of comfort for me. I really just want to thank you all.
I hope I can keep floating down the River with ya’ll and sharing in this inspiring music and community for years to come.
