- Now playing
- 10m
- Oct 10, 2014
No stranger to being different, Laura Jane Grace always felt like an outsider in the posh Florida suburb where she grew up. It was only in the rebellion of the punk scene and playing music that she found a home. After surviving years of struggle, things finally seemed to be taking off when her band inked its first major record deal. On the inside, though, Laura was buckling under the pressure of being someone she wasn't.
Episode 2: Gender Dysphoria
- 10m
- Oct 10, 2014
Being a teenager is difficult even under the best of circumstances. Add gender dysphoria to the mix and it can be nearly unbearable. Laura Jane Grace and others discuss how they turned to drugs and alcohol as ways to cope and find a temporary escape.
Episode 3: Finding Trans
- 10m
- Oct 10, 2014
It was only when Laura Jane Grace came across an article about being transgender as a teenager that she realized what she was feeling had a name. She compares how she first identified as transgender with the experiences of others -- and how popular culture's portrayal of trans people at the time influenced that discovery.

- 10m
- Oct 10, 2014
At one point, the loneliness, frustration, and despair proved too great for Laura Jane. She reveals she is among one of the many with gender dysphoria who attempted suicide.

Episode 5: Coming Out
- 10m
- Nov 3, 2014
On Facebook. In a Walmart. Laura did it in a bedroom. Some are still waiting. The only thing possibly more difficult than coming to terms with being transgender is telling someone else.

Episode 6: Transitioning
- 10m
