Yeah, I read that as the homeless person is wearing woman's shoes and is crazy, not that he's being judged as crazy for wearing woman's shoes. Nothing in android's lyrics struck me as transphobic.

In king for a day I see homophobia in general represented by the dad character and the implication that the "guys" will do something bad - but that's the point, isn't it? To condemn the homophobia?

Idk, I think that when it comes to interpretation there is no winning when up against someone with an agenda. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don't really have an agenda, as I'm neither trans, queer, or particularly in contact with the community except by Lemmy. I just think the core ideas are kind of old tropes about trans sex workers and crazy homeless men in drag who can't fit into society (the idea being if you're not an android you might be doomed).

You can say that I'm unfairly making trans people to be over sensitive if you want.

I wasn't saying you had any particular agenda, I was speaking generally.
