I guess I like gothic rock, but specifically more upbeat and fast songs (for example She Sells Sanctuary by the cult, or This Corrosion by sisters of mercy). Thanks :D
Hello r/trans. First and foremost, thank you for being such a beacon of light and learning in a murky world for new-ish trans parents. So wonderful to see all the love and support and sometimes heartbreaking to see that support is not universal.
Our 22 y/o daughter came out to us middle of 2020. We were blindsided but supportive from the start. We have a trans niece who transitioned 4 years prior who we are close to so we at least has a road map and supportive people we love who had gone before us. Huge help.
We have honored our daughter’s wishes to allowed her space as she figured it out as far as telling my side of the family (they are fundy religious and Trumpy-maybe even more “Pence-y”). Now she’s ready and does not care who knows or what they have to say about it. We are in the same place so it’s time.
I told one sister/BIL in person a few weeks ago when we were together. While it did not go horrifically bad, it certainly was not great. Looking back, I feel like we ambushed them by not providing any context or soft place to land if they needed a moment to understand what they were hearing. They were shocked and said basically everything you are not supposed to say lol. Things settled down and they said they still loved “he/she/whatever we are supposed to say”. We will take that as a win with this group lol.
We have always wanted to have these conversations face-to-face as we know we have nothing to hide or be ashamed of. However, having that last experience under our belt, we now see that it may not be fair to just lay this on someone who has no idea it is coming. Especially knowing They have strong religious beliefs about this and hear about it/talk about it in church, and likely the media they consume as well. That said, they know we do not share those views and we have a generally loving/supportive family dynamic (with guardrails lol). This will be a huge bombshell though and will likely rip the guardrails right out of the ground- at least for a while.
So our thought is to send a group email with some links to resources that may at least give them a little space to digest then set up a zoom chat with each family with our daughter over the coming weeks to “get it all out there” in small groups. Then perhaps set up small in-person introduction to their new niece gathering/dinner for those who are ready
I know “google is my friend” and all that but I would really appreciate some advice and help from those who have gone before us.
Thank

As mentioned in the title, the reissue of "First and Last and Always" has mixed reviews from multiple sources. Anybody who owns the record, what would you say is the good and bad parts about it?
Thanks!
Hello! I heard this great darkwave/goth dance song about a week ago at a goth night called Summon in Brooklyn. I managed to get a audio recording after many failed Soundhound attempts and have reuploaded it as an unlisted video on YouTube.
I feel like its clean enough for a fan of the band/song to identify, I've just exhausted all song recognition programs and really loved the song that night, so please help if you know!
Hey u/Sidledsgunnar!
I got this album this morning (and I love it) but I noticed the version you have linked to Spotify only has a few of the tracks. There's another one with the full tracklist available - including the all time best-ever song Lucretia My Reflection. Can you update it?
Apologies if it's just my region etc!
Also, let's just take a moment to appreciate what a corker of an album it is. God I love it. haha.
