"Steel Frame" is a raw, unflinching song that digs into the clash between biological reality and gender presentation. It argues that no matter how convincingly someone alters their appearance—through makeup, surgery, or hormones — their fundamental biology, rooted in chromosomes and anatomy, remains unchanged. The lyrics paint a picture of a world where masks and performances can’t override the unyielding truth of DNA, using stark imagery like "steel and scars" and "XY in the blood" to hammer home the point. It’s not about denying personal experience but asserting that physical facts don’t bend to identity or perception, delivered with a defiant tone that challenges the idea of redefining what’s set in stone.
