“Against Me! singer Tom Gabel reveals plans to begin living as a woman in the new issue of Rolling Stone. Gabel, who has dealt privately with gender dysphoria for years, will soon begin the process of transition, by taking hormones and undergoing electrolysis treatments. Gabel will eventually take the name Laura Jane Grace, and will remain married to her wife Heather.”
You go, girl.
transgender dysphoria blues // laura gabel [as best as i hear the lyrics?]
Your tells are so obvious.
Shoulders too broad for a girl
Keeps you reminded,
Helps you remember where you come from.
You want them to notice the ragged ends of your summer dress.
You want them to see you like they see every other girl.
They just see a faggot.
Now hold your breath until it gets you sick [?]
Washed up on the coast,
Oh, we should do this thing the whole day long.
Washed up on the coast,
Oh, we should do this thing the whole day long.
Washed up on the coast,
Oh, we should do this thing the whole day long
With you.
You've got no cunt in your struts.
You've got no hips to shake.
You know it's obvious
But we can't choose how we're made.
You want them to notice the ragged ends of your summer dress.
You want them to see you like they see every other girl.
They just see a faggot.
Now hold your breath until it gets you sick [?]
Washed up on the coast,
Oh, we should do this thing the whole day long.
Washed up on the coast,
Oh, we should do this thing the whole day long.
Washed up on the coast,
Oh, we should do this thing the whole day long
With you.
With you!
With you!
Future U.S. History Students: ‘It’s Pretty Embarrassing How Long You Guys Took To Legalize Gay Marriage’
DECATUR, IL, THE YEAR 2083—According to students in Mr. Bernard’s fourth-period U.S. history class, it’s “really pathetic” how long it took for early-21st-century Americans to finally legalize gay marriage.
The classroom of 15-year-olds at MacArthur High School—all of whom were born in the late 2060s and grew up never questioning the obvious fact that homosexual couples deserve the right to get married—were reportedly “amazed” to learn in their Modern U.S. History: 2081 Edition textbooks that as late as the 2020s, gays and lesbians actually had to fight for the constitutional right to wed.
“Wow, that is nuts,” said student Jeremy Golliver, who claimed he knew gay rights was a struggle “like, a hundred years ago” but didn’t realize it lasted so long. “It’s really embarrassing, when you think about it. Just the fact that people in this century were actually saying things like, ‘No, gays should not be allowed to marry,’ and were getting all up in arms about it, as if homosexuals weren’t full citizens or something. It’s insane.”
“I mean, was everybody just a huge bigot back then or what?” Golliver added.

Against Me!- The Ocean
If I could have chosen, I would have been born a woman.
My mother once told me she would have named me Laura.
I would grow up to be strong and beautiful like her.
One day I’d find an honest man to make my husband.
We would have two children, build our home on the Gulf of Mexico.
Our family would spend hot summer days at the beach together.
The sun would kiss our skin as we played in the sand and water.
We would know we loved each other without having to say it.
