Against Me! is a band that always showed a real attitude, shared important ideals, and most of all, made excellent music. In these 17 years of career, they have released a ton of great punk songs with important messages on every single lyric, all written by frontwoman Laura Jane Grace, known before as Tom Gabel. Having dealt with gender dysphoria since childhood, Laura Jane Grace came out in a Rolling Stone article as a transgender woman, in 2012, which it was a major change in her life. "Transgender Dysphoria Blues", their sixth studio album and the most personal album of the band to date - we couldn't imagine a better way to Laura show how she dealt with all the insecurities and tough times she went through. We had the pleasure to talk with Laura Jane Grace about her transition, how it affect her band and much more... Words: Andreia Alves // Photo: Ryan Russell
