Against Me!'s transgender
singer-guitarist Laura Jane Grace is among those making gay glossy
Out's Out 100 list.
Grace came out transgender in a 2012
Rolling Stone interview.
The title track of Against Me!'s latest
studio album, Transgender Dysphoria Blues, released on Grace's
own label, Total Treble, takes a raw look at transphobia.
“You want them to see you; Like they
see any other girl; They just see a faggot,” the song's chorus
goes.
Speaking to
Out
for its upcoming double Out 100 issue, Grace said that rock 'n' roll
is no stranger to pushing limits.
“I'm a rocker,” she said. “And
rock 'n' roll has a long history of smashing gender roles and pushing
the cultural limits.”
“That's what I want to represent,”
Grace added.
