An important clarification after Kim Petras  deservedly won her first Grammy (with Sam Smith) and acknowledging being the first trans woman to win a vocal award, Keep supporting our trans brothers and sisters!
While we celebrate Kim Petras’s historic win at last night’s Grammys, let’s also use this as an opportunity to show some love to electronic music pioneer and 3x Grammy Award-winner Wendy Carlos. After Petras correctly stated she was the first transgender woman to win Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the Grammys, many online incorrectly called her the first transgender woman to win a Grammy ever. That distinction goes to Carlos, who many might know better for her work composing the soundtracks to Stanley Kubrick’s THE SHINING and A CLOCKWORK ORANGE as well as Steven Lisberger’s TRON. Today, at 83 years old, she spends her time exploring and photographing solar eclipses, NBD. Go Wendy!
