    This one works better for transmasculine folk, but one one of my favorites is Mulan's "I'll Make a Man Out of You."

    Normally the best ones are actually by trans people themselves.

    Innuendo by Queen. It's not specifically about being transgender, but it can be interpreted that way.

    This is a part of the lyric:
    "You can be anything you want to be
    Just turn yourself into anything you think that you could ever be
    Be free with your tempo be free be free
    Surrender your ego – be free be free to yourself"

    Must I add anything? :icon_wink

    I quite like Son Of Man by Phil Collins. I was going to give a line but then when I looked at the lyrics they can all be interpreted as being a trans guy.

    I'm still here - by John Rzeznic
    and the italian version (which has some subtle differences):
    Ci sono anch'io - by 883

    Non so
    se è soltanto fantasia
    o se è solo una follia
    quella stella lontana laggiù
    Però
    io la seguo e anche se so
    che non la raggiungerò
    potrò dire
    ci sono anch'io
    *_*

    I'm Still Here (Jim's Theme) - John Rzeznik
    Something Different - Katastrophe
    Tell Me A Story - Skylar Kirgil
    Borders - AMBER
    Body - Mother Mother
    I Don't Know My Name - Grace Vanderwaal
    Lost Boy - Ruth B

    Not all of these are written with transgender people in mind, but these have got to be the strongest songs for me surrounding this issue.

    Lola by the Kinks.

    If only because it contains my favourite lyrics ever with Girls will be boys and boys will be girls. It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world.
