TransGriot Note: Since the 25th anniversary of the release of Prince's Purple Rain movie is fast approaching, and I'm more than a little pissed about the latest 'womyn born womyn' shenanigans playing out over the Vancouver pharmacy, thought it was time for another of my infamous song rewrites. Grab your iPods or your Prince Purple Rain CD and sing along.
The Rad Fem Ones
sung to the tune of 'The Beautiful Ones' by Prince and the Revolution
Rad fems, rad fems, rad fems
Why you hate on me?
Rad fems, rad fems, rad fems
I'm a she don't call me he
U make me waste my time
Your dogma warps your minds, rad fems
Rad fems, rad fems, rad fems
Chill with the trans hate alright?
Oh rad fems, rad fems, rad fems
Don't tread on my civil rights
Transition was a hard grind
The rad fem ones they hurt us everytime
Finished my transition
Brought harmony to my body and my mind
The rad fem ones
Always hate transpeople
Always everytime

Oh rad fems, rad fems, rad fems
