Against Me's Laura Jane Grace To Star In New Reality Show

[Initech]

Against Me! frontwoman Laura Jane Grace first went public with her desire to live as a woman almost two years ago, in an interview with Rolling Stone. Now, she's documenting her transition in a new series for AOL.

Tom Gabel of Against Me! Comes out as Transgender

Tellingly titled So Much More, the show follows Grace as she tours in support of AM!'s Transgender Dysphoria Blues album, meeting other gender-variant people and navigating her transition from male to female.

"It took until I was 31 to publicly come out as a transgender woman; nothing has been the same since," Grace says in a trailer for the series. "You build it up in your head beforehand ... 'Should I transition?' And you're following through with that and you realize life's a transition, everyone's in transition, that's just the way it is. ... That's what I hope [the show] gives other people, too, that they feel like they're not alone in the world."

1. "...life's a transition, everyone's in transition, that's just the way it is."

So true. And maybe if people weren't so afraid of being judged "abnormal" or "freaks" themselves, they could manage to live and let live a little more.

I'd actually never listened to Against Me! until the new album, but it does have some rather good power-pop tunes. I think the more they shed the faux-punk trappings - musically speaking - the better they'll be.

2. Have you seen the video for "Black Me Out"? So good!
