P!nk
A therapeutic musical release: P!nk's "Trustfall"
“ ‘Trustfall’ is sort of [about] two things … I feel like we’re falling backwards, and the ground is uncertain. But it’s also that freedom and letting go, trusting and having faith in the universe that it’s going to take care of you.” - New York Post
P!nk - A Queer Icon
"P!nk has been rocking androgynous looks since her 2000 debut, something she addressed in her
VMAs speech earlier this
year. In response to her daughter’s concerns about being bullied for looking like a boy, the
singer created a Powerpoint
presentation of musicians who played with gender: Michael Jackson, Annie Lennox, David Bowie and
more.
She also shared what she told her daughter about her gender-bending style: “When people make fun
of me, that’s what they
use. They say I look like a boy or I’m too masculine or I have too many opinions, my body is too
strong.” Rather than
conforming to society’s expectations, P!nk finished by saying, “We don’t change. We take the
gravel and the shell and we
make a pearl. And we help other people to change so they can see more kinds of beauty.” " -
