Tranny: Confessions of Punk Rock's Most Infamous Anarchist Sellout
by Laura Jane Grace Author
The story of Against Me! frontwoman Laura Jane Grace's coming of age. Her growing up happens all haywire, with brutal internal and external conflicts to contend with, and no peaceful resolution to neatly tie up the narrative. The reader is invited to walk alongside Grace as she navigates the ravages of gender dysphoria behind the scenes of a very public life. An excellent window into the music industry, the narrative explores the path from banging-on-buckets, sleeping-in-the-van punk to arena rock. A parable about how the punk scene eats its own and how bullying politics and hurt feelings don't leave a path forward for anyone involved; that even "famous" people are real people whom we can actively harm. A coming-out story about a personal transformation that she turns into a social transformation. Check out our Gender is Over! toplist for more titles on gender and trans memoirs. (Short Discount)
