What other book might you compare Tranny to and why? I'm only familiar with a few songs from Against Me!, but now looking forward to hearing more, especially going through all lyrics. The few times I got to go out on the road as crew member for a band of close friends was the best time of my life, so I already love memoirs like Rollin's & Ramone's, and following the career & tours with Laura Jane Grace's band, Against Me!, was just as exciting, if not more candid. I mostly connected being on tour & traveling around the country in a van. I related to her love for travel, living in a hotel, and dealing with the politics of playing with other bands. I also loved the book because I too grew up on punk rock & have always despised the ridiculous notion of one dictating to another who and/or what is 'real' punk, but didn't realize how many people actually suffer (and I mean suffer) because of it. I could not be more grateful to Grace for being willing to share her personal story of what gender dysphoria & transitioning feels like, especially in the days before the internet or resources were available, and kids were left to suffer in silence and/or isolation.

Laura Jane Grace's book will make you laugh, break your heart, and possibly change your life, regardless where you come from on the transgender/transsexual/gender subject. For a community that has been close to my heart AND a topic, I felt somewhat 'in the know' about, many years before ever hearing the word 'trans-anything I still have so so much to unlearn. It’s the type that is so important, it will become required reading in college classes across the country some day. This is the first book I've ever read/listened to in its entirety in one sitting. What made the experience of listening to Tranny the most enjoyable? Required reading for 'unlearning' false everything
