The Independent/Fiona Sturges   Author Biography Sunday 23 August 2015

"It's not her furious sound or punk attitude that has brought Laura Jane Grace face-to-face with hostility. It's simply that she is a woman. As she prepares to rock out at the Reading Festival, the singer tells Fiona Sturges about the struggles of transitioning from life as a man – and the courage given to her by a new set of fans."
