Singer-songwriter Ezra Furman has come out as a transgender woman

Singer-songwriter Ezra Furman has come out as a transgender woman, also revealing that she’s been a mother for over two years.

As per Pitchfork, Furman announced the news that’s she’s a transgender woman in a tender post on her Instagram, also noting that she had previously identified as non-binary.

“I wanted to share with everyone that I am a trans woman, and also that I am a mom and have been for a while now (like 2+ years),” Furman revealed. “I’ve come to terms with the fact that I am a woman, and yes for me it’s complex, but it’s complex to be any sort of woman. I am very proud to be a trans woman and to have come to know it and be able to say it. This has not been an easy journey.”

“I have not yet mentioned in public that I’m a parent because I have been afraid of being judged and grilled about it as if it’s anyone’s business other than mine and my family’s,” she continued. “But. I’m telling you I’m a mom now for a specific reason. Because one problem with being trans is that we have so few visions of what it can look like to have an adult life, to grow up and be happy and not die young.

When our baby was born I had approximately zero examples that I had seen of trans women raising children. So here’s one for anyone who wants to see one. I’m a trans woman and a mom. This is possible.”

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from the art-pop star on the musical front. Her most recent album, Twelve Nudes, came out in 2019. She also worked on the soundtrack to Netflix’s acclaimed show Sex Education that year.
