I wish she could be the face of the trans community instead of caitlyn Jenner

[@MichaelD8393]

+Megan Walker You & I alike.

[@Itsmebaileyc]

+Megan Walker FUCKING SAME. HER, OR LAVERNE COX.

[@rdumais78]

Agree. LJG has more credibility than Caitlyn LookAtMe Jenner.

[@0MGitsRayRay]

me too!! laura is such an amazing and kickass woman! i love her!

[@Itsmebaileyc]

***** And she is a respectable person that kids and teens can actually look up to for good reason. Also, I don't know if you've gotten to see her perform (i've gotten to twice, actually :D) but when she's onstage, the vibe you get from her is just powerful, strong and relatable.

[@LoryBelle]

PC Principal if against me isn't punk rock I don't know what it (love, and old punk rocker)

[@jackmayhem1985]

I have no idea what its like to be transgender , im just a simple man . but I know what its like to feel social pressure to hide yourself , that sense that the real you isn't good enough. and I give so much credit to anyone who has the strength and courage to really own their sense of self . remember Laura , if stupid people hate on you , it just means youre something new and completely amazing , which scares the shit out of those obsolete ordinary people

[@Zeniethia]

mkay but this comment sorta inspired me

[@RadioactiveHomo]

Wow rare empathetic comment.. 🤘

[@johnwalker1058]

+ bonus points if they receive a lot of unjustified hatred from others simply for being different or going against some social norms, and they still own themselves and don't back down, while staying true to themselves and not even getting bitter and staying kind

[@reversepolarity8981]

As a trans man, this is literally the greatest, most validating thing I've ever heard about being trans.

[@lindzamoe85]

i love how she doesnt feel the need to be a girly girl. she is trans, but she is herself. love her.

[@dewilew2137]

Are you kidding? He threw out all of his political views and anti consumerism ideals suddenly just because he thinks he’s a woman. It shows what he really thinks of women.

They are called Republicans.

[@chelseabowen9062]

Faq Yu next time try to come to logical discourse armed with an understanding of the topic at least at the elementary level. you clearly have no idea what GID is or how it is dealt with from a psychology point of view. It's fascist assholes like you that prevent progress.

[@BlastCas]

Little does she know as of yet how much of a role model she will be to the world and the sheer number of people she will lead someday.

[@trisha-lynnwatson3706]

I love how chill MTV is over this and so many others. I'm not trans-gender or anything, but I love the way our world is going. We are becoming more compassionate and accepting of others. And for someone of this stature to come out and be so public about this, is incredibly brave. I really respect that.

[@solveigvanlierde4113]

Reading your 8 years old comment and seeing how it's turning today is kind of cruel... 😢

[@rednexmama]

So much love for her and for HoS for this interview. Honestly, I think this speaks to any kid that felt like they didn't belong in their skin, their town, etc. I LOVE how she's managed to blend punk and femininity and really embraces it. Go Hard, Laura Jane Grace!

[@LoryBelle]

"When I was a young punk kid and dumpster diving and wearing this, I think it's important for you to know that I was still going home at night and washing my face with Clinique" - Laura, the fucking icon

[@Bruh-il7ju]

One word. Inspirational.

[@BloodnailTV]

Good on Laura :). I never thought I'd say this again, but well done MTV, tastefully done.

[@bowlbeesaur]

She looks so beautiful in this video. This hairstyle was such a good look for her

[@mihomi98]

Laura Jane looks GORGEOUS here

[@blackmarya]

Damn! those quilted leather shorts! can't wait to see her rock those badboys, hope she get comfortable enough to wear them :)

[@SombraPiloto]

Love Laura!!! She get's more beautiful by the day...

[@drewkatchen805]

Years later and this is still just the greatest thing.

[@googlymoogly64]

Love this woman and all the music her band ever made! She's an inspiration

[@martinvelkei2157]

I once tried my girlfriend's epillator out of sheer curiosity, and I can tell you that shit is waaaaay more painful than getting inked.

[@HopefulLostBoy]

I love this interviewer. She's not asking where she wants to go with her transition or what operations she wants etc, she's asking 'so how do you see your style evolving to suit you.'

[@Jettchick]

Her wife is beautiful

[@otakuofmine]

+Jettchick Sadly they split up....

[@Jettchick]

otakuofmine what, nooo :(

[@otakuofmine]

***** Yeah, my reaction as well. It was me told by another here, based on an interview. Would explain why Heather is not directly seen in the AOL series/ interviewed.

[@rdumais78]

They divorced last year +otakuofmine

[@gironsantalla7870]

Rachel Dumais really!?!?!? I love her in secret since time. Maybe now I 've an oportunity hahaha

ive only ever seen her with either her dark eye makeup or no makeup on, its cool to see her with this look on (:

[@user-qe8ik2zh5y]

omg I love her so much, she is so funny, also her style is beautiful and her hair looks so pretty

[@massie1983]

I find it awesome that when they're sitting down, the other girls is sitting like a dude, and looks totally manly, but Laura is so graceful. Such a cool person.

[@sarahp2836]

[@jenniferlynch4421]

She's beautiful and inspirational, and I love that her marriage has only gotten stronger now that she is able to share her true self with her wife.

What an inspiration. I was never really a fan of Against Me!, but this is so great to see.

[@RodrigooMateus]

I thought it wouldn't be possible for me to love Laura more than I used to, like, 12 minutes ago. how ingenue

[@IguanaSpunk]

Regardless of her being trans*, Laura is just an inspiration to me as a female musician! She's like a second Joan Jett to me (idol-wise) and this whole video made me feel so ecstatic. I love her. Plain and simple.

[@dewilew2137]

He’s not a female. He’s just another gross, misogynistic, privileged male. Read his book and you’ll see how he’s treated women all his life, even his own mother. His a POS.

[@cgminddoc]

loved the rolling stone article. I have been in the strain and preasure of the wrong gender for 45 yrs. go with it onl

[@92cpio]

Absolutely fantastic bit about her, well done MTV

[@ionaskye1050]

Love Laura so much! She is just the sweetest and she gives awesome hugs - but so do james, atom and inge 😀

[@antonvinther31]

Laura Jane Grace seems so cool and sweet, and she is also an amazing singer.

[@artemismeow]

"I've been tattooed all over and nothing is more painful than this." XD yup

[@lokiokvltys4667]

I'm MTF and stuck in the closet THANK THE FUCKIN GODS I'm a tomboy and dress super androgynously Flannel/button up shirt Band tee/graphic T Skinny jeans or cargo pants Combat boots Beanies Snap backs and baseball caps Most makeup I wear is Eyeliner and eyeshadow Both black of course Head phones and my giant ass messenger bag covered in drawings pins and patches is a must as well

[@takinoffthefatsuit]

Wrap your toes in band aids. I've done it for really uncomfortable, and yet way too cute to say no to shoes. Also, maybe a large bandage for the heels. I've also heard that antiperspirant can help, but I've never tried it so idk.

[@steele_heart77]

Omg she is so iconic I love her! But honestly, those shorts are like "F***in same tho"

[@0MGitsRayRay]

she looks fucking amazing in a dress

[@ScumShawty]

shes actually not attracted to women. so yes shes straight, but not like you think. shes a straight woman attracted to men.

[@MsMercury]

Laura is definitely attracted to women.

[@joshuachristner123]

Amazing! I've never loved against me! and laura jane grace more, she is an inspiration to us all!

[@caseo9696]

I just discovered this band and watched a few videos before she made her transformation...when I watched this I was so confused and surprise like wtf the lead singer is trans!? Oh well it doesn't change anything. Still a great band

[@jesusfreaklol1]

She is an amazing artist

[@sophiejoyyy9232]

she looks so stunning in this video

[@leaderoftheitu]

agreed

[@SarahBASHful]

What a gorgeous family, and what a beautiful, brave soul. I love how comfortable and happy she looks being able to discuss her life in transition to someone who is receptive and comfortable with her-- like she's turned a light on within herself. Everyone should have rose water in their bag. It works as an all-natural toner, perfume, and skin hydrator all in one. And I'm gonna need those boots of hers immediately! Paired with that Australian dress, I bet it looks hot!

[@pajammin]

i think it's just because we don't see that many famous people come out i think. also her songs and stage presence have always made her look so strong and confident. i think it's really cool that she's doing this because of the reasons she listed right at the end

[@EmilyBones]

This was awesome. Love everything. Thanks for doing this MTV!

[@StephenDanielAddeo]

To me, this blurs the line, which is fine, but again blurry as hell.

[@EmilyBones]

blurs what line? seems pretty straightforward to me...

[@StephenDanielAddeo]

Let me explain because I didn't mean to offend. Btw I have a ton of respect for you (Emily) and anyone in the trans lifestyle. Looking back I suppose that was a ridiculous statement. I didn't mean to make a line, blurred or not. Actually, I guess being transgendered shouldn't be about "black and white" lines. I mean to say that as an observation I can't decide on which side he/she prefers. Again, after reanalyzing this, I suppose being transgendered is its own identity. I didn't mean to be naive or ignorant.

[@EmilyBones]

She is and was (underneath her trying to cover up her former identity) always a woman. I don't think she has to pick a side... I mean, that's like me deciding to wear pants or a skirt. It really doesn't matter.

[@StephenDanielAddeo]

That's an excellent comparison. You're absolutely right. Keep rocking! Btw, I loved the video for I saw daddy kissing Santa Claus.

[@kissfan7]

I think she likes black. And holy crap, their daughter is the second cutest kid ever. 4:20 I'm about 90% sure that's the outfit she wore when I saw AM! in Buffalo. That dress and the new drummer where the biggest changes since I last saw them live and they were two of the best parts of the show.

[@brigidnoone9946]

This interviewer was perfect giving Laura Jane the opportunity to be excited and express her style and beauty tips. So wonderful to see!

[@p0pscenes962]

i'm obsessed with her style, i love how she just opens her closet and its all black

[@p0pscenes962]
