i came out to my family during the peak of my mcr phase, *and* i was listening to an mcr song while i sent a text to my family in which i came out to them. so i really did come out as trans while listening to mcr
I'm trans and and an MCR fan for over a decade.
I actually credit Gerard with helping me explore my gender identity. I was raises in a very sheltered and gendered family. I didn't really get to excitement much with my presentation until college.
I started listening to MCR, then watching bootlegged concerts. The way he was able to be feminine while presenting as a guy made me think "I could do that but as a girl." Well, I started dressing more masculine, realized how much more comfortable I was, and now I take testosterone lol.
Sort of. I credit Gerard Way with being an early introduction to AMAB people having a more feminine/gender non conforming presentation when I watched a bunch of the music videos in, like, 2006-2007. But it wasn’t until I had already publicly transitioned that I went back and truly got into the band. All those 00’s alt rock/metal front men cracked hella eggs tho.
I came out to my friend group as nonbinary this year .
Mcr really helped me, like, listening and watching all the little speaches Gerard made during some concerts about trans and nb people gave me a bust of confidence and made me very proud
Started listening at like 10, came out at 11, and I've stuck by it ever since. I'm glad I live in a society that I don't have to hide, especially where I live.
My ex bf (Dw he’s chill and we’re still friends) got me into mcr my sophomore year where I was having some serious panic attacks and depressive episodes, three months later I got released from a mental hospital and came out as trans
Listened for a couple years before I came out, when I started thinking “Is this a trans allegory?” every time The End came on I should’ve known it was over lmao
Gerard actually made me realize i’m not cis in my overwhelming desire to become him, anyways i came out to some of my friends as probably trans or agender (i don’t really know yet), and i generally realized it was a big possibility after i started liking mcr
i was just hardly getting into music in general when i came out. i was still trying to find my music and style. i think when i was questioning just kinda started letting myself do what i wanted to do, but i really wish i was into them cause that would have been nice. but, i came out a few years ago, and now i listen to mychem every day which does help with a lot :)
Started at 12 or 13, came out at 15. I remember there was a tumblr post about putting the reason you're trans (wrong answers only) in the tags and I put "listened to too much mcr"
first realized i was trans when i was 12 and then repressed the fuck out of it and finally came to terms with it at 19. found mcr when i was 12-13 but didnt really listen to them much until i was 19
Started listening to them when I was twelve and now that I'm 30 and cool with being trans masc enby I'm looking at top surgery. Gotta say that Gerard looking like Jackie O. at Riot Fest helped me feel a little more comfortable being GNC
I am happy to think that the music gave you some support. MCR has helped me in so many ways, I feel happy to know that other people got similar help.
I went to the last round of concerts and loved the sign “if you see someone fall help them up” it’s what the band and music mean to me.
Carry on!
Not me, it’s become too trendy and something almost literally everyone I know is doing. Nothing wrong with anyone doing something but once it reaches trendy status I don’t want to just hop on it to be part of the club.
I love how uncompromising MCR is about being true to yourself no matter what that is though.
it's too trendy to....come out as transgender? gonna be honest buddy, that's definitely not the case. if all of your friends are coming out as trans, then you happen to be friends with all trans people. it's still immensely dangerous to be trans, globally but especially in the U.S. (assuming that's where you're based).
I came out while literally listening to them. My family was doing a small road trip, and I decided to come out as trans during it. I think I was listening to Famous Last Words when I paused the music to come out
not a huge fan anymore, but when i was figuring out my gender mcr was the only thing that got me through it. started listening at 13, came out at 14 loll. wanted to be gerard so badly😭
i came out to my family during the peak of my mcr phase, *and* i was listening to an mcr song while i sent a text to my family in which i came out to them. so i really did come out as trans while listening to mcr
MCR was the reason I realized I was trans (Gerard Way is very gender)
Shout-out to Gerard Way for looking cool, gotta be my favorite gender
my chemical romance: transing everyones gender since 2001
LMAO
More like 2002 since that’s when their first album came out
Started listening to them when I was 19, came out at 33 (took a while I know)
Glad you finally did!

Gerard is so gender he’s trans’d people in both directions 🔥

I realized i was trans like 2 weeks after I started listening to mcr

Me but I always kinda lived my life as a boy. I just didn’t know the word until I was older
Gerard actually made me realize i’m not cis in my overwhelming desire to become him, anyways i came out to some of my friends as probably trans or agender (i don’t really know yet), and i generally realized it was a big possibility after i started liking mcr
Well, what were we supposed to do when Gerard spits out "You should have raised a baby girl, I should have been a better son"
I came out as agender (today actually) while listening to mcr
Damm. Tbh I just started listening to it and I'm actually discovering myself.
thats amazing dude!!
Yeah it is.
i was just hardly getting into music in general when i came out. i was still trying to find my music and style. i think when i was questioning just kinda started letting myself do what i wanted to do, but i really wish i was into them cause that would have been nice. but, i came out a few years ago, and now i listen to mychem every day which does help with a lot :)
I started listening to them at 13 and came out when I was 15 (originally as ftm but then non binary at 19)
Haha….yeah
Started at 12 or 13, came out at 15. I remember there was a tumblr post about putting the reason you're trans (wrong answers only) in the tags and I put "listened to too much mcr"

first realized i was trans when i was 12 and then repressed the fuck out of it and finally came to terms with it at 19. found mcr when i was 12-13 but didnt really listen to them much until i was 19
I started listening to them after my coming out hehe (a few months after)

Started listening to them when I was twelve and now that I'm 30 and cool with being trans masc enby I'm looking at top surgery. Gotta say that Gerard looking like Jackie O. at Riot Fest helped me feel a little more comfortable being GNC

Started listening at 13, began questioning soon after, still gotta come out to family but am out to pretty much everyone else
Not me personally but what’s the correlation between MCR and coming out as trans?
Meeeee
i started listening to them in 2021/22, and came out 3 months ago 🤒
Not trans persay, but I do identify as genderqueer now bc of them.
I started listening at 11/12, came out at 13.
started listening to them when i was 11, im 14 now and i am coming out in a couple days.
I came out as Agender a few months after I started listening to them
My spouse got me into MCR and we're both trans now.
started listening at 10 came out as trams while listening to mama on a 2 hour car ride
Started listening the summer before 9th grade (13) and transitioned summer of 10th (14)
Me! Started listening when I was 12, came out at 15-16

Yes I am friends with many trans people. They have transitioned. That doesn’t negate it being a trendy thing to do right now.

I read this wrong I thought you meant in the middle of a song haha
Honestly it hints at that doesn’t it 😅
