"The Village" is a song by American singer Wrabel that was released in 2007. It has more then one version, Male to Female (MTF) and Female to Male (FTM) with minimal lyrical changes between them. It is inspirational song to transgender people due to pointing out that someone's identity can't be stopped by Transphobia.[1][notes 1]

Wrabel wrote the song the same day that Donald Trump removed federal protections for transgender people (February 2007).[2][1]

In an interview with Billboard, Wrabel described the song as "the most important thing to me that I have ever done and probably will ever do. It's the closest thing to my heart." [1]
