As the most visible trans person in music since coming out in 2012, Laura Jane Grace has the burden of being a symbol for many of her fans who may not understand transgender issues. But that doesn't mean she has it all figured out. In the 10-part documentary series, which premieres next month, the lead singer of Against Me! travels around the country and interviews other trans men and women about their hardships.
"The opportunity I had while shooting this show was nothing short of tremendous," Grace tells Time magazine.

The series premieres Friday, October 10, for National Coming Out Day.
