That does make sense. For a while I thought she had given herself two middle names and was going by Laura Jane Grace Gabel. I think I did see a couple of articles referring to her by that name.
Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace.
Rise and Time To Think, Rage and Serious Decision.
It honestly makes me very happy to see that his(her?) wife is staying married though.
Goddamn The Vandals are terrible.

It's about Laura's new lifestyle as a trans. She never appeared to me as feminine when she was male, but I feel she is going over the top to be as feminine as possible here. I can understand that she wants to "max" her feeling of being female by appearing like that, but it feels awkward.
I used to enjoy them in college... dumb humor (Get a Room and My Girlfriend's Dead are pretty fun). But I never liked the song cool2hate posted. Very transphobic.
I find this to be a common thread with trans folks, and I can't say I understand it - probably because I'm cisgender and it's unrelatable. Personally, I'm less feminine than most women, even most of my friends, though I still am more feminine than masculine (definitely not androgynous). I find both extreme masculinity and femininity to be obnoxious and ridiculous, and it's even odder to me when someone who's dealing with gender dysphoria jumps to the extreme of their inner gender. I guess it's probably a result of feeling trapped inside the wrong body for so long, that when they finally get to escape, they embrace the opposite entirely. Maybe kinda like how I was raised Christian and under all those rules and such, and when I finally reached adulthood and got to be myself, I became super atheist for a spell before realizing what I actually believed.Quote:
