There are two Gorillaz songs I’ve always thought could reference gender critical sentiment, despite their audience. The first one is, appropriately, Tranz:
Do you look like me, do you feel like me Do you turn into your effigy?
The “look like me/feel like me” is self explanatory but the “turn into your effigy” part stands out. A lot of trans people I see are clearly trying to emulate their idols. Their effigies.
The second one is Momentary Bliss:
It makes me sick to think you ain't happy in your skin
Oh, you need to change your face You're getting sold, it's such a waste Y'know, we could do so much better than this Swimming in pools of momentary bliss
This one’s an aggressive body/self positivity song. “Society is trying to sell you your own self and it’s SICKENING. That bliss/euphoria is only momentary, let’s do better!”
