Transgender woman sings duet with her male self

Before transitioning, Kayhar recorded a video singing Jordin Sparks’s “Battlefield.” She’s now turned the performance into a duet with a split-screen video showing her pre- and post-transition.

“Progress for the trans community has been painfully slow,” Kayhar told The Huffington Post. “Despite some minor advances, society still sees us as only one of two things: sex objects or punch lines. Through my music, I hope to change that. Now is the time for a trans revolution. We’re more than what the media and society has portrayed us to be and the time has come to correct those wrongs.”
