Tom Gabel, lead singer of Against Me!, announced this week that he will transition to living as a woman, and will change his name to Laura Jane Grace. Today, Argentina passed a Gender Identity law that will allow adults seeking sex-reassignment surgery and hormone therapy to have their expenses covered by private or public health insurance plans without approval from a doctor or a judge. With all this talk about transgender people in the news, one might wonder how people actually change their gender.
