DURHAM, N.C — As the sound of 430 people clapping in unison began to reverberate off the brick walls of the Motorco Music Hall in perfect metronome timing, Laura Jane Grace stepped out onto the stage with guitar in one hand and birth certificate in the other—a document that she would immediately set on fire.
The room erupted into a fury of cheers as Grace and her band, Against Me!, sang out their battle cry, “We’re ready for a revolution,” in protest of North Carolina’s House Bill 2, which requires transgender people to use the bathroom that corresponds with the assigned gender on their birth certificate.
“The way you effect change is by empowering the grass-roots movement,” Grace told the crowd, “by empowering the people.”

That is really stupid. What is he protesting? his chromosomes?
Why burn the birth certificate? It is just a piece of paper, symbolically representing a thing.
Instead, why not burn......
The best thing to do is ignore the stupid. Any attention good or bad is what they want. Don’t give it to them.
When he removes his Y chromosome on stage, I will take him seriously.
wow. So cool man.................
Laura Jane Grace is a male and will age and die like the male he is. DNA trumps all and his balding head, hairy-hairy and more hairy EAR and EYEBROWS will show it. His stomach will paunch like a nine-month along preggie.
Females age differently so...get over it Larry John Grace. You are MALE and you MOCK your creator by denying genders.
Or, as ole Jack Webb on Dragnet used to say: Just the facts, ma'am, just the facts: You are a MALE, sir.
Of course, mocking God may be part of their agenda.
Wa hoo.
These days it’s just a certified copy; he can get another at any time for $20.
If y’ain’t cut, y’ain’t trans
The mentally ill are now idolized in this country. It would more appropriate to give them treatment for their mental illness.
Yep, America today is all about celebrating freaks.
I find this incredibly amusing. The Left is constantly throwing “science” in our face as indisputable, yet when we use actual, legitimate science to further our laws, we’re being called bigots.
Sorry, idiots. You pop out of the womb with either 2 X or an X and a Y chromosome. It doesn’t matter to what lengths you go, modern science doesn’t (yet) have a way to change your base configuration.
Like a computer: you build Intel or your build AMD. I don’t care what graphics cards or hard drives you use, you’re still either an Intel or an AMD. Get over it.
I just heard about the “gender is dead” crowd on the Michael Savage show. I had never heard about it.
Denying human nature = insanity.
Poor thing. I hope it gets better for it.
Did that last sentence make any sense?
5.56mm
If there is no such thing as gender, than there is no Patriarchy and there is no War on Women.
The get away with it because no one beats the crap out of them.
Can't make this stuff up
The lack of practical benefit makes this a true act of punk rock.
You ready for a revolution? So are we, ya freak. And I’m betting we outnumber you a couple hundred to one. Not that it would take that to kick your faggot butts.
No matter how politically incorrect it is, you still need a birth certificate to get an identification card or driver’s license.
