This week, Matt and Ryan kick off Pride Month with a deep dive into Against Me!'s "Transgender Dysphoria Blues." Released at a pivotal moment in frontwoman Laura Jane Grace's life—shortly after she publicly came out as a transgender woman—the album powerfully explores themes surrounding her transition. Tune in to hear what the guys have to say about this impactful record!
