    Laura's smile after James talks about how great it is to see his best friend become more comfortable with herself is great (around 6:21).

    Really great interview, and great interview-er! Giving them one question each back and forth like that, you generally see them focus just on the frontperson of the group.

    Hey Q! If you really want to promote humanitarian causes, why don't you stop your lying and covering for Washington's insane crimes against humanity!

    Was a coming out actually necessary here? I mean, it's pretty apparent that he's not a woman. Was anyone actually fooled?

      Swan Ronson I'm not sure, some kind of gender defect brought on by a hormonal imbalance in utero...Oh you meant me? Nothing at all, I'm fine. I thought you were talking about Laura Jane Grace.

      Educate yourself. It's 2014, and there is not enough room in our society for people who are unwilling to accept people for who they really are. Just go to the American Psychological Association's website and find their page on questions about transgender people, gender identity, and gender expression.
      But if you want to continue to be a disrespectful, ignorant jackass on the internet, go somewhere other than the comment section of a CBC youtube channel.

      Tanner Greatrix Music Oh I agree with you. I appreciate you reaching out to me as a person with whom you disagree but still accept for who I am. Very progressive of you. Hey! wait a minute, now that I reread your comment, you don't sound accepting at all!

      vadagh Misgendering someone, who clearly identifies as female is disrespectful and insulting! And calling a transwomen a man, even more so! You probably never met someone openly trans or have at least some knowledge about the issue! You should take Tanner`s advice If you don`t like reading you may watch some interviews and documentaries here on YT about transkids with suppertive parents, transpeople activists . Listen to their stories.! Try to empathize! Humans aren`t defined by their genitals!
      Why are the ones who write comments like this, almost exclusively cis- males! It gets boring! Really!!
