Exploring Gender Identity Through Music

Storyteller: Anonymous

The song Sleeping Beauty by Martha [helped with my identity]. It's about exploring gender identity as a child but feeling judged as a result. Although I identify as a cis woman, there's always been part of me that's been gender questioning and I think I can really relate to this song. It's hard to pinpoint much media that talks about the experience of bi women, especially from the time I was working out what my sexuality is (so like 16 years ago) and so I can think of songs that were maybe about men's bi experiences but I couldn't really apply that to myself.
