The punker-turned-pro-skater from Oakland inspires trans kids to be whatever they want to be.
How a trans indie-rock star made the record of their life, with the help of some new housemates
Twompsax are an Oakland based crew of friends turned bandmates. It was after a Limpwrist and Younger Lovers gig at 924 Gilman Street that Strauberry became unafraid to be herself. In true punk fashion, her bandmates only go by their first names — Ian plays the drums, Izzyplays bass, Strauberry sings, and for the duration of this tour Chris, a.k.a. “Scootch,” is their bodyguard, documenter and driver.
After every show the band takes pictures for hours with fans, and even has received letters of thanks and support. Strauberry brought 20 skateboards with her on tour to hand out to kids, hoping to inspire more trans skaters in small towns. The last skateboard she gave away was her own complete deck to a 16 year-old trans girl in St. Louis whose mother brought her to the show.
