Kendrick Lamar ignited a global debate with his track Auntie Diaries, a poignant song that explores his relationship with his trans family and his journey into LGBTQ+ allyship 🏳️⚧️ cydneyyeates hears from trans voices on the impact 👇🏽
heard from trans voices to understand how the community has responded to Kendrick’s Auntie Diaries and to hear whether his approach was appropriate for successfully getting his story across.
Ramon breaks down Auntie Diaries for us and notices the initial instrumentals has a ‘nostalgic tone with small flourishes of oscillating sound effects’. Ramon also notes Kendrick’s constant reinforcement of the incredibly positive relationship he had as a youth with his trans uncle. ‘Most surprising was when he tells us that his trans uncle was the first person he ever saw writing rhymes and implies that that’s when his interest in rap started,’ she highlights.
‘Coincidentally, this was also the first time I cried when listening to this song. I’ve never been one for tears when it comes to sad life events or bad moods, but media and seeing artists excel at their craft seem to be my soft spot. ‘It connects the oppression faced by Black and brown people to that faced by the LGBTQ+ community and beautifully illustrates the need for all oppressed peoples to stand in solidarity with one another if we’re to have any hope of achieving equality.
While Chloe understands the hurt many have felt in response to the deadnaming, misgendering, and slurs in Auntie Diaries, she, like Ramon, feels that the song is ultimately about growth. Chloe believes that if Auntie Diaries didn’t include the controversial slurs, the song wouldn’t have had the same impact that it has had. ‘To me, what’s really important is the conversation surrounding these topics that has come from the track.
Shawn is a big fan of Auntie Diaries and believes people are not focussing on the message of the track
