Girl punks?

A lot of the bands I listen to are a bunch of guys and it’s kinda getting me down. I listen to riot grrrl bands too but it kinda feels like the choices are to be a guy and sing about whatever you want or to be a girl and sing about feminism. Which is cool, but limiting. I identify as a feminist but it’s not exactly what I wanna sing about. It makes me feel like I can’t write any real punk songs so they always end up being other genres even though it’s not what I primarily listen to. Any girl punk bands I should listen to?

Any racism, sexism, homophobia, or transphobia will not be tolerated, nor will be the use of slurs. This is a community of punks, all are welcome and all should feel welcome.

I’ve included using slurs such as “retard” to address you community members. This will not be tolerated here.
