Prince as a Crossdreamer, and What it Means for the Transgender Debate
We have lost Prince, AKA Prince Rogers Nelson, one of the biggest pop artists and composers in modern history, and I find myself marvelling at the fact that the world is mourning one of the most well known crossdreamers of all time. People do not seem to mind that he was one!
Prince had very limited inhibitions when it came to presenting his sexual fantasies in lyrics. This was, after all, the man who told us about his Darling Nikki that “she was a sex fiend. I met her in a hotel lobby, masturbating with a magazine”.
Nikki was partly the cause for Tipper Gore founding the Parents Music Resource Center in the US. This led to the use of “Parental Advisory” stickers on album covers in that country, assumedly protecting children from harmful content.
