Miley Cyrus Joins Laura Jane Grace Giving For Moving Version Of 'True Trans Soul Rebel'

Last week, Miley Cyrus announced the Happy Hippie Foundation, which benefits homeless and LGBTQ kids, and as part of its launch, she released a Backyard Sessions video featuring Against Me! frontwoman Laura Jane Grace. She joined Grace (and Joan Jett) for a acoustic performance of the Replacements' "Androgynous" and Against Me!'s "True Trans Soul Rebel."

It's the best-known track off Against Me!'s fantastic 2014 album "Transgender Dysphoria Blues," a collection of songs mostly written after Grace came out as transgender in 2012.

With lyrics like "Does God bless your transsexual heart, true trans soul rebel?," it's a moving track without the bells and whistles. Paired with Cyrus' voice and and a no frills backyard production, it sends a powerful message to Cyrus' fans about her dedication to supporting LGBTQ teens.

And here's Cyrus, Grace and Jett's performance of "Androgynous."
