Singer Ezra Furman Comes Out as Trans Woman, Mother
“I am very proud to be a trans woman.” April 22 2021 10:30 AM EDT
American singer, songwriter, and musician Ezra Furman revealed she is a transgender woman and mother in an emotional post to Instagram Wednesday. The 34-year-old indie folk-rock singer said she had been initially hesitant to make the revelation, but felt the times called for more visible examples of trans people and parents. Furman uses she/they pronouns.
“I wanted to share with everyone that I am a trans woman,” Furman posted to their Instagram yesterday, adding that they are also “a mom and have been for a while now (like 2+ years).”
Weddings resumed in England on Monday following a lockdown ban, and two sweethearts that couldn’t wait any longer to tie the knot were a Scotsman and an Australian who have made Stroud their home. Newlyweds Amanda and Peter Girvan were married at Stroud Register Office and photographed in Stratford Park with their eight-week-old baby, Bear, as soon as restrictions were eased. The pandemic had delayed their big day for months, but all that was forgotten when they finally exchanged their vows. “It was fantastic,” said Amanda, 31, who moved from Melbourne to Stroud for a job in publishing. “It was a bit sad that my family couldn’t have come over and celebrated with us and that we couldn’t have friends there, but it just felt so amazing to finally be marrying this man that I’m completely in love with.”
