Laura Jane Grace (Against Me!) x Paris Lees - Back and Forth

[@prettyprrrrettaygood]

this, boys and girls, is Punk. If you can't accept it then you're nowhere near as badass as you think you are

[@ediann]

laura jane grace is very inspiring coming out as transgender and I am very much influenced by her transition. love, emily

[@steele_heart77]

Laura-Jane Grace is an inspiration to me and I wouldn't have come out at nearly the time I did if it weren't for how she put herself out there. Love you, girl!

[@vanessaaserdtfyguhijokmloh5800]

Laura's laugh is so nice

[@cheyenn3nic0le]

This is the best interview I've seen Laura in. She looks so comfortable.

[@michaelsieberg4216]

You must live a sad exsistance, that you have to talk shit about people, IDK why, did you not get enough attention as a child and hurting people makes you feel bigger? You would probably be more happy if you stop being a piece of shit.attempting to hurt people for no reason doesn't make you funny or look cool.makes you look like a loser. Only bully's like people like you.👎

[@roygbp23]

i wish to one day have a conversation with laura. love you girl. inspiring to all of us.

[@michaelsieberg4216]

@Kenny Evans Fucking loser piece of shit 👎 I'm trolling right now to slay haters like you, but you have nothing to contribute but hate👎 GTFOH 🖕

[@biancap3893]

Great interview! Love these charming , smart,witty ,swearing female individuals.And let`s treat the trolls and hate mongers like the clingons do it! Cross your arms, turn around and don`t waste the energy you need for typing a reply! Someone who is not even capable of writing a word out is not worth it! Hey! Ms Mercury Hugs!

[@Latebar7609_]

[@battlecitysinner]

GREAT interview.

[@jimwerwath5850]

Thank you.

[@mielimedina3146]

So cute, love the vibes!

[@neurochunk]

Cool honest interview!

[@ArmyofBulldogsProductions413]

I love the subtle reference to The Big Labowski! Best band in the world!

[@peterwithers7568]

Great to see these topics being discussed by a high profile media outlet, but it's a shame that Laura Jane didn't get more of a look-in here. I'm not trying to negate what Paris has to say at all, but she seems to have forgotten that she's meant to be interviewing someone, or at least having a conversation with them; she frequently goes on off on lengthy monologues and ends with non sequiturs as often as actual questions. Hmm.

[@TeriLynn923]

I've noticed that too. Like when Laura asked her about the first album she bought. Did she really have to go into the story about being in sex work? She could have just said the name of the album. I think Paris wants to be a rock star herself. Don't get me wrong, I do like her but yes, I think she'd rather be the subject of the interview.

[@ununhexium]

I've noticed this happen a lot in interviews with Laura. If anyone else is set up to be talking, they drown her out. She might be a quiet or reserved type in real life, or she carefully calculates what she wants to say, and in the pauses people take advantage of that. I hate watching interviews with her unless its just her talking alone for that reason.

[@calci2679]

I feel like this interview seems more like a conversation

[@alicec1533]

Idk if the title has changed, but it is titled 'Back and Forth'.

[@elliotoffscrubs]

I would love to see you jam with LJG Isley! Great video, two heroes chatting. Awesome sauce.

[@otakuofmine]

Damn, I didn't recognize Lees with this cap and the red hair! o.O

[@krystikitten9336]

Funny coincidence. As a fellow punk ray of light is the only album I ever owned from madonna and felt it was her best also. 💋

[@IsleyReust]

So rad!!!

[@michaelsieberg4216]

@Kenny Evans I say rad all the time. You're such a hateful little bitch this is like the fifth person on here that you feel the need to insult. Kick rocks and go listen to Smashing Pumpkins. Fucking loser.🖕👎

[@TeriLynn923]

8:25 I did the same thing with Laura followed me on Twitter.

[@alanhopkins3727]

YES you are fucking cool

[@Shitscreamer]

She looked more and more like Ozzie Osbourne without sunglasses as the interview went on

[@baxterhawk2378]

Damn she cute trying to speak in a German account and laughing back into an American accent.

[@AUSROTTENY2K]

love laura and against me. but something about paris is annoying to me.

[@johnnyscifi]

The beer drinking, "punk rock" bowling attending, epitaph listening, 90's "bropunk" is the subsect i cant stand!!! Minus Descendents...

[@The-Punnkk]

you are incoherent. Get off the meth

[@johnnyscifi]

+Gregory Chri What does hating "bropunk" have to do with meth. Actually, ive never touched meth in my entire life, but that has nothing to do with anything i stated!!

[@Mistergorehound]

Plastic Cups don't Clink.

[@darkknight_za]

I'm so confused..

[@daggerlane]

Me, Me, Me....

[@nestorsdragon8057]

PL and LJG.... Pollojog... nope

[@SombraPiloto]

So Paris's voice changed but Laura's didn't?

[@JC-yy8iv]

No. Estrogen does not affect the vocal chords. Testosterone does (hence male puberty, and the slight deepening of women's voices during puberty is also due to testosterone) Paris just talks like that. LJ has been screaming onstage 100-200 nights a year for over a decade, ya know? And also she has made a choice not to speak differently from how she did before. Paris may have sounded like this even when she appeared to be a gay man-- I certainly know gay men who sound more or less like her.

[@craftingweirdo6498]

@@JC-yy8iv Maybe she had vocal chord surgery. But I guess grace doesn´t change it because it is her whole carrer

[@JC-yy8iv]

@@craftingweirdo6498 I don't mean to be rude but that surgery just doesn't exist. There's no way for trans women to change our voices except to simply talk differently. In Laura's case, she has said that when she first transitioned she took some vocal coaching to speak differently, but when she used this coached voice, her friends and family thought it was like talking to a stranger, so she went back to using her normal voice.

[@craftingweirdo6498]

@@JC-yy8iv Mhm interesting. How did my best friend get it then? *just wondering* Please don´t take it too serious. But this surgery exists, but is pretty risky. You can loose your voice or have your vocal cords sound like mickey mouse. This exists in Asia and I am not sure if it does in western countries because of the health risks. The surgery is called voice feminization laryngoplasty.

[@thomastehan7755]

So I wonder what Thrash Unreal was about? You guys think it was about himself?

[@hey.norins]

Herself

[@carlossandoval2974]

Gay

[@scottyxscxrs5483]

I honestly have no hate or disagreement for Tom realizing she is Laura but this interview is shit. Look at how awkward Laura is laughing it off in questions. I love the new cd but this is shit publicity stunt from the interviewer. Poor Laura
