Transgender Woman Performs Duet with Pre-Transition Self

A transgender woman, Kayhar, who racked up hundreds of thousands of YouTube views with a video she released in September that chronicled her gender transformation, has released this other, one-of-a-kind work where she actually sings a duet with her pre-transition self.

The song is a cover of “Battlefield” by Jordin Sparks, which she hopes makes a statement about the slow progress of the trans community. “Despite some minor advances, society still sees us as only one of two things: sex objects or punch lines, she told The Huffington Post. Through my music, I hope to change that. Now is the time for a trans revolution. We’re more than what the media and society has portrayed us to be and the time has come to correct those wrongs.”
