Alongside her tweet she also published to an editorial that criticised both Arcade Fire for both the song and the video. Grace announced that she was transitioning in 2012 and her bands recent album ‘Transgender Dysphoria Blues’ shares her journey. Grace took to Twitter posting, maybe when making a video for a song called ‘We Exist’ you should get an actual ‘Trans’ actor instead of Spider-Man?” Grace, who has publicly shared her transitioning experience, has said the band should have hired a trans* actor instead of casting Garfield. The video has been criticised by Laura Jane Grace, the lead singer of the rock band Against Me. Garfield, best known for his role as Spiderman dresses as a woman in the video and heads out to a bar. In ‘We Exisit’, the latest video from Canadian rock group Arcade Fire, actor Andrew Garfield plays a trans* character.
