I’ve had “Get Back” going through my head because Disney + is promoting a feature on The Beatles so I keep hearing it. This made me think about the lyrics and whether they were transphobic, so I looked them up in order to read them carefully and think about what they mean.

I am gobsmacked that the lyrics are not “Jo Jo was a man who thought he was a woman, but he was another man.”
