From "The Secret Life of Transgender Rocker Tom Gabel" by Josh Eells in Rolling Stone magazine 2012-05-31 (note that at the time the article was written, Laura Jane Grace was still going by the name Tom Gabel, though according to Wikipedia she had already switched to her current name by the date shown for the article's publication):
For as long as he can remember, Gabel has lived with a condition known as gender dysphoria. As the textbooks explain it, it's a feeling of intense dissatisfaction and disconnect from the gender you were assigned at birth. As Gabel explains it, "The cliché is that you're a woman trapped in a man's body, but it's not that simple. It's a feeling of detachment from your body and from yourself. And it's shitty, man. It's really fucking shitty."
