"True Trans" is a raw, unvarnished two-song single that captures Against Me! at a pivotal moment, serving as a bridge between their independent roots and a new chapter. It features an early version of "Transgender Dysphoria Blues" alongside the B-side "Drinking and Afraid."
- The single was released by punk independent Total Treble Music, founded by members of the band Good Riddance.
- "True Trans" was recorded during the same sessions that would yield the full-length album *Transgender Dysphoria Blues*, though it was released prior to the album.
- The release came out just months before Laura Jane Grace's public coming out as transgender, lending the single a prescient and powerful resonance.
Against Me! is a punk band from Gainesville, Florida, known for their impassioned songs and evolving sound. In 2013, the band was transitioning to a major label deal and frontwoman Laura Jane Grace's coming out as transgender, which would profoundly shape their subsequent work.
