Trans punk star Laura Jane Grace sings at Bernie Sanders rally, infuriating right-wingers
Trans singer Laura Jane Grace performed at a Bernie Sanders rally over the weekend - and the usual anti-trans right-wing brigade are furious.

Here is the song they're so triggered by. It's a fucking masterpiece, and I will be sorely disappointed if it doesn't go viral from hate-publicity:

Couldn't find direct footage of the set either (outside of hate propaganda that I won't click on), but if anyone wants to go looking there are some details here (from her Linktree):

lol well i guess i kind of understand why they are upset, and i don't think it's about gender
It is very much because of gender. If you google 'bernie sanders laura jane grace' you will find nothing but outrage-farming by all the usual culprits. If a cis musician had done this a few bigots might have whined, but the right-wing outrage machine wouldn't have chosen it for their Two Minutes' Hate.
Laura probably knows they're gonna come for her anyway, might as well be aggravating about it. That feels pretty damn punk to me.
P.S. no masters and especially no gods
idk i feel like even if a cis white woman (a man would be normally better [for them], but in this case it's automatically ew gei) were to sing "Does your god have a big fat dick? Cause it feels like he’s fucking me" that would not go down well with especially today's emboldened christian right
That song goes hard. Hard like, oh I don't know, I'm sure there's a fitting analogy.
But would it fit? Laura asks the real questions.
