The lead singer of US punk band Against Me! says she is 'encouraged' by her fans' support after she came out as transgender earlier this year.

In an interview with MTV's House of Style, she said: 'After you come out and after you start talking about it, you feel stupid for how long you haven't dealt with the issue, because people have been so overwhelmingly supportive.

'The amount of trans girls or trans guys that come out to our shows now and always stick around to say like hi afterward. It's encouraging.'

[...]

'I guess I kind of made the decision to transition starting like two or three years ago but it was something that really look a lot of building up to put into motion,' she explained.
