“The new album is all about dealing with gender dysphoria”

an interview with Laura Jane Grace of Against Me! for FasterLouder

One of the details I thought was interesting, you mentioned that you didn’t want to drink because you wanted to experience this soberly.
For me drinking a lot of the time had to do with dealing with dysphoria and with numbing yourself. You’re dealing with this thing that you don’t know how to deal with and you’re depressed about it so what do you do? You fucking drink. Dealing with my emotions and dealing with the dysphoria and making proactive decisions in my life, [it was] an effort to break a cycle of alcoholism and to get out of that lifestyle because I didn’t see any future in it other than death.
