Laura Jane Grace: Snore!

Good for you!
Can't think of anyone who gives a flying fuck - even if they know who you are - but they put you on the front cover of G2.
It's basically the same thing as the Mail and the Sun do, where someone being trans is a story in itself.
They're paraded around like something from a freak show, with a few "So brave" platitudes thrown in.
In other patronising music news... a black man you've never heard of may be gay (Lead review and interview).

    1. I do need a holiday, yes.
      Any offers?

      PS I do get a bit too grumpy on here sometimes and - sincerely - appreciate it when people point it out.

  3. When reading 'the comments' ... I get the feeling that I'm on a small tricyle peddling through the passageways of The Overlook Hotel.

    Me, I'm the one that gives a fuck. And here is why:
    Because growing up knowing your trans and the only trans people you see on TV or hear about are either ultra fem super models or people transitioning super late in life that you are supposed to pity, gets old. Seeing someone else like me. A trans woman who is a tomboy punk rocker type being out and visible may have helped me and other trans folk come out a lot earlier. So, I get that you don't get it, but don't assume that just because you don't care, that no one else does. That is called projecting. White, cis, heterosexual, men do that a lot. They assume that what they think and feel is what everyone thinks and feels. So... there you go... I hope I have thoroughly answered your question of "who cares"
