Gender Drugs & Rock 'N' Roll

Rock 'n Roll is dead but don't tell Courtney that, she's searching its pockets for the good stuff and bringing it to you.
After a lifetime of drug use (caffeine, adrenaline, and estrogen) and rock 'n roll antics she's has realised one thing; Being trans is pretty Rock 'n Roll, because the best way to stick it to the man is to become a woman.
