Laura Jane Grace Opens Up About Transphobia in the Punk Scene
Against Me! frontwoman Laura Jane Grace is an endless source of inspiration: When she talks, you listen. The rock icon recently went on comedian Mark Maron's WTF podcast—you know, the one that recently hosted President Barack Obama—for an 83-minute conversation to discuss her childhood, gender transition, divorce and so much more.
What truly struck a chord with us were Grace's words on the punk community. A scene created by outsiders for outsiders, a scene that is supposed to be understanding, proved to be transphobic toward Laura Jane.
