Label Drops Shoegaze Band Whirr Over Transphobic Tweets
Over the weekend, San Francisco shoegaze act Whirr shared some ugly thoughts on Twitter. They were directed at the Olympia, Washington band G.L.O.S.S., or Girls Living Outside Society's Shit. The Seattle Weekly describes G.L.O.S.S. as "trans, queer, femme musicians"; their five-song, take-no-prisoners 2015 demo opens with the lyrics:
They told us we were girls
How we talk, dress, look and cry
They told us we were girls
So we claimed our female lives
Now they tell us we aren't girls
Our femininity doesn't fit
We're fucking future girls living outside society's shit
