\"Cliterati\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cliterati<\/strong> recently released the killer song \u201cLatinx Taken\u201d<\/a> off their upcoming album Ugly Truths, Beautiful Lies<\/em> (due 8\/30 via Tankcrimes), and we\u2019re now premiering another powerful song along with its equally powerful video, \u201cTrans Is Beautiful.\u201d The video (edited by Mark Reategui) uses live footage of the band and puts the lyrics on screen, so there\u2019s no question about what issues Ami Lawless is singing about, and various people of various identities also sent Cliterati pictures of themselves to be used in the video. \u201cSpecial thanks to those who sent us your photo to be included, let your light shine!,\u201d the band says. Ami further explains:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From my earliest memories until 3rd or 4th grade. I believed I was a boy although I was AFAB. My mother who was undocumented from Mexico living in the USA would hit me and yell at me for saying I was a boy. I believe she didn\u2019t want to draw attention to us. It took me years to figure myself out. After having top surgery a few years back, I finally become comfortable in my own skin, for the first time in my life. I identify as trans non-binary\/emby\/two-spirit and my pronouns are they\/them. I have quite a few friends who identify this way as well. This song is for all the kids who are still figuring themselves out\u2026 we see you and are here for you. Let your light shine!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
