After years of silence on the subject, 2014 has brought several discussions of gender identity to the mainstream – acceptance and understanding of the issues involving the spectrum of gender and sexuality have begun to enter everyday discussion, which is a great thing. This progression comes largely from the influence of artists who live with gender dysphoria. Bad Suns‘ new music video for “Salt” shows a powerful narrative of a transgender woman and her daily struggles with acceptance.

As a warning, the video can be seen as moderately disturbing to some. There are a few shots involving attempted suicide, abuse, and drug use. You can check out the music video below, or over at MTV where it’s exclusively streaming.
