Nick Cave has responded to a question about the trans members of his fanbase, saying he loves “all my fans”.In an entry on his Red Hand Files website, Cave was asked by a fan: “How do you feel about your transgender fans or trans people in general? As a young trans woman, I’ve had equally positive and negative gender-related experiences with other fans of your work and stand curious as to where you stand on things.”After discussing another question in the entry about his Enneagram (personality test) type, Cave said that he believes he has “a weird paternal instinct toward my audience, gone berserk.”Turning his attention towards the trans fan, he then added: “I also have another impulse, which I hope is more common, and that is to treat everyone with equal love and respect, regardless of their race, gender, sexuality, religion or anything else. I essentially see the world as a collection of individuals, each unique in their brokenness, who have at their core a common and binding sameness of spirit.“So, Amelia, although I am slightly uncertain as to where I am supposed to stand on such things, or rather why I am supposed to stand anywhere, I will say this – I love my trans fans fully and wish them the best, as I love all my fans and wish them the best.
