    Against Me! has become one of my favorite bands as well over the past few years (I'll admit, I missed the early 2000s era), and Tom Gabel is one of the best lyricists and performers out there, in my opinion. When I first heard this news, many thoughts came to mind: Is this the end of AM!? What will the songs sound like once he/she goes through hormonal treatments? Will they still tour?

    Then I realized every question coming to my mind was all about my reaction to the news and pretty fuckin' selfish. I cannot imagine what it was like for her to live her life all these years dealing with gender dysphoria, and how brave she is to come forward in a country that still shuns the LGBT community in many respects.

    I am still coming to grips with this news as a fan, but I wish nothing but support to Tom Gabel as he enters a new phase in life.

    couldn't agree more.
