Shirley Manson of Garbage Broke Down on Stage Thinking About Donald Trump's Transgender Military Ban

“I felt passion overtake me and I suddenly realized that this is a song that we wrote a long, long time ago, long before gender fluidity and transgender, any of it was on all of our lips,” she explained.

“And I’m all riled up because it breaks my heart that in this day and age, things have gotten so mad that people who want to put their lives on the line for the American public are being treated with such disrespect.”

Her comments were greeted with loud cheers and she bowed. “So please forgive the f--k-up. That was all me. My band were perfect as always.” She laughed.  “We shall begin again. Every day is a new day.”

And with that she sang the song from 2001’s Beautiful Garbage, whose lyrics begin “She gave you everything she had” and include the lines: “You're such a delicate boy /In the hysterical realm/ Of an emotional landslide/In physical terms.”

The song was originally inspired in part by the book Sarah, by author Laura Albert, who wrote under the nom de plume JT LeRoy. The story focused on a gender-fluid teen prostitute named Cherry Vanilla, who used the name Sarah.
