Queer, Self-Love, and Feminist Playlist

Love is Not a Sin by the Wild Ponies

Respect by Aretha Franklin

Who Says by Selena Gomez & The Scene

Same Love by Macklemore

Fight Like a Girl by Emilie Autumn (note that many of Emilie's songs, including this one, were based off her real-life experiences in a mental hospital. Also, as a neurodivergent woman, she doesn't have the systemic power to benefit from ableism. And many of her fans, myself included, are disabled. We aren't offended by her lyrics. So don't tell me the portrayal of mental hospitals in this video is ableist. And don't dare hate on Emilie for her clothing choices or having had an abortion either because misogyny really pisses me off.)

Gothic Lolita by Emilia Autumn (trigger warning for rape, victim blaming, and child molestation)

Thank God I'm Pretty by Emilie Autumn (trigger warning for sexual harassment, misogyny, and brief mention of suicide.)

Girl by Destiny's Child

The Gay Song (trigger warning for semi-reclaimed slurs)

Chica de Calendario by Kumbia Queers

Rebel Girl by Bikini Kil

Skyscraper by Demi Lovato

Uprising of Love by Melissa Etheridge

This other playlist of non-romantic love songs that someone made for Aromantic Awareness Week

Shake It Off by Taylor Swift

Fucking Perfect by P!nk
And that's it. I think it's a pretty good list, but I wish I'd found more disabled singers, as well as some trans women singers and some hijabi singers.


Also, Lady Gaga has now been removed from the list for transphobic and intersexphobic comments.
