I think it’s because she herself did not feel free, it was more of a feeling she wanted to have :) so until she truly feels free, her thoughts are for trans women when singing the song idk I’m not that smart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CautiousLurker 16,578 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I mean, in that case the song completely misses the mark cuz gurl I'm not nothing without a steady hand I'm not nothing unless I know I can I'm still something if I don't got a man I'm a free woman This is not what's plaguing the trans community... someone tell her... It's not like if a trans woman starts dating a man, suddenly all the transphobes are like 'oh, nvm we cool, you can be a woman now, you can have rights' Also, now that I think about it, 'I'm not nothing unless I know I can'? So if you DO know you can, you're nothing or...? Wut? WHAT WAS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHAT WAS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN It’s like ”i’m nothing unless I know i can” but because you are actually still something even if you are unsure of yourself so it becomes ”i’m not nothing unless i know I can” does this help?

audrey horne 1,180 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I guess the lyrics could totally be read in any way but this sounds like an afterthought statement. Still, I'm grateful that she keeps being vocal about transwomxn issues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it tells me that it's meant to make the rhyme but not make any actual concrete sense because if you break the line down, that's not what it implies - if you don't mind it, good for you, but to me personally it feels lazy... I had the same issue with Stupid Love - the line 'even if we break in two' doesn't actually fit, but they decided to keep it anyway instead of looking for a better lyric...

komronjoel 1,449 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 This makes me so happy, before the album came out, my youngest sibling (who has recently come out as trans) said to me that Free Woman was going to be her song. The lyrics honestly make me cry with joy when I think about her transitioning into the person she was always meant to be Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m definitely not saying that it’s a great sentence I’m just saying that what I think she means is that she is still something (=not nothing) even if she is not sure if she can Free my mind, ARTPOP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly certain she spoke about this song with Zane where she mentioned the trans community but proceeded to say it was about just women specifically, not just transgendered individuals. I think. Pretty sure it was a broader statement. Edit: not saying trans women aren't women. I'm struggling to remember the context of what she said originally. Trans women are women.

derpmonster 22,412 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 That's how I also feel about the song The Queen - "I'm a woman, I insist it's my life." 53 minutes ago, Doot said: This.
