Kim Petras is the first openly transgender woman to win a Grammy. However, she is not the FIRST transgender woman to win. That distinction belongs to Windy Carlos, who was closeted at the time.
I love this! Wendy Carlos blew the "ceiling" out of the water before we even had visibility. If I remember correctly it was her suggestion to add the ADSR envelope to the Moog.
As an old, I've long loved Wendy Carlos' work. As a young at heart, Kim Petras fills me with joy.
Thank you so much for such an exceptional article, from a looooong-time lover of all the many forms electronica past, present, and future.
