Margaret Killjoy also lives in Appalachia.
What's going on in them thar hills that makes it so appealing to goth/punk transgirls?
People live there, therefore there will be trans people.
Also it's beautiful. I highly recommend the Great Smokey Mountains, Shenandoah National Park, and the New River Gorge.
There's a haunting beauty to it, and no one bothers you once you're like, 200 yards into the nearest woods. You can just be yourself.
It's because we're mostly fucking cool here.
It's hillbilly Switzerland.
Anyone who takes Dueling Banjos to mean anything has never given Sunny Came Home a good listen.
Turn it up at the end. It’s a fucking story.
Link to music? (Ideally YouTube)
Just search up Pat the Bunny, he's not trans but this is his music
Here's a sample: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQU4dU7I_fw
...hillbilly goth = sixteen horsepower...
...or, you know, old gods of appalachia...
