    Laura saved my life. Her strength to be herself gave me the strength to accept myself.

    This was a fantastic series, so eye opening, heart breaking, but over all a great way to educate and show people that different is not bad.
    Also, Laura, your mom could not be a better support. What an excellent example of a mother; showing unconditional love for a child.

    was in tears all the way through this series. as someone who's nonbinary, it's very hard for people to understand and accept me for who I am. but this is giving me so much hope that maybe one day things will be ok. thank you.

    Ah this made me cry. I've watched a lot of trans documentaries and UA-cam videos, perhaps looking for answers, and this was truly one of the most insightful, hopeful ones. I'm so glad people like this exist in the world, thanks to all who contributed and made this little series happen.

    I am not trans but i am part of the LGBT community and for a person like me, i been through a lot and when i found against me i felt safe, i didn't feel like if i was all of me i would be harmed in anyway. I grow up with a single mom i had no male roll models other then punks and i was also the person who is open to wear anything and everything, i paint my nails and i am ok with wearing a dress to school and i got bullied for it. but i finally feel great bout my self and against me and Laura Jane Grace saved my life

      AOL Originals I've recently come out as gender dysphoric to a few close family members. This docu-series was everything and more. I am currently looking into finding a gender therapist. Thank you AOL for allowing Laura Jane this platform for so many like me who need it. (:

  • @ashehaigh9107
    @ashehaigh9107 7 років тому +3

    I have no idea whether Laura is ever going to see this message, but I don't care because I need to speak my mind about how powerful this documentary has been for me. I feel such a strong emotional connection with Laura's experiences because it's literally the same thing that I am going through right now. In the same way that Laura looked up to Madonna and wanted to be her I have found the same role model in Laura, and it's really given me the push that I have so desperately needed to accept who I am as a trans feminine person. Laura, I know this is going to sound so cliche, but I genuinely think your documentary, your book, your interviews, and your music has inevitably saved my life, and for that I am profoundly grateful.

  • @meneher2an
    @meneher2an 5 років тому +1

    What an eye-opening docu-series. At least, this helps me to understand and tells to never assume or being judgemental towards trans people. We are all different, but that's what makes us the true human being. Respect!

    Amazing series. Laura is such an inspiration to me. I fell in love with Against Me when i was a teenager and i'm 29 now, her music has saved my life over and over again. Watching her transition into the beautiful, strong woman she always wanted to be is so incredible ❤️

    @LittleFishyFishies 9 років тому +2

    This has been my favorite series I think, ever. Ever. Of Everdom.
    Nooo, I don't want it to end, haha!- It has been one of *the* most important pieces of medium I have ever come across. It is pieces of heartfelt & genuine communication like this that open up a doorway to conversation, change, and coming equality with accompanying pride in our times and future.
    Thank you SO much to Laura, everyone who gave their voice in this series, and AOl for putting this thread of beauty into the world for all to see. This has been life-changing. :') I will never forget watching this. ❤️
    To the right to recognize who we all authentically are, whomever that soul may be, and just *live* life wholeheartedly, unabashedly, and in joy. Because, *we're all people.* Just, people. :) ❤️

    Thank you so much for this. I have had such a hard time accepting my daughter's transitioning. I think I have been so hurt because I thought we were closer than what we are and she's gone through this alone without telling me anything. I'm finding out through other people what she has been going through and I honestly don't know what to do to help her.

    They are just people. That's the most important sentence in this whole docu. It's annoying that trans persons always have to say "I'm a trans woman/man." The world would be so great, when they just could say "I'm a woman/man." I hope the world changes fast for that to happen!
