Tom Gabel Frontman of punk band Against Me! comes out as Transgender
Tom Gabel of Against Me! Comes Out as Transgender
Singer reveals plans to begin living as a woman in the new issue of Rolling Stone . Against Me! singer Tom Gabel reveals plans to begin living as a woman in the new issue of Rolling Stone. Gabel, who has dealt privately with gender dysphoria for years, will soon begin the process of transition, by taking hormones and undergoing electrolysis treatments. Gabel will eventually take the name Laura Jane Grace, and will remain married to her wife Heather. "For me, the most terrifying thing about this was how she would accept the news," says Gabel. "But she's been super-amazing and understanding." Gabel only told a handful of family and friends about her plan to transition before talking to Rolling Stone. Because this is the first time a major rock star has come out as transgender, the singer made a point of speaking openly about it. "I'm going to have embarrassing moments," says Gabel, "and that won't be fun. But that's part of what talking to you is about – is hoping people will understand, and hoping they'll be fairly kind." The full story of Gabel's transformation is in the latest issue, on newsstands this Friday (May 11th). In it, the singer tells Josh Eells about her history of gender dysphoria, the specifics of the transition process and what becoming Laura Jane Grace will mean for the future of Against Me!

Well. Perhaps he should consider putting the penis in a baggie and mailing it to John Travolta when he's done with it.

How sexually ambivalent do you have to be to stick with your husband through such a transition?

One of my good friends (whom was previously one of the most manly people I knew) just came out with this same thing at 35 years old. I was completely shocked, as was everyone else that knows him. It was crazy at first but now I just know her as a female... I still call her "dude and man" though, haha.
He said he's put on a manly front his entire life and knew he was supposed to be a female from about the age of 5. He/she is now taking hormones and I'm seeing his muscle decrease drastically. It's a crazy thing to watch, but it seems it's getting very popular to do now. These gender changes are documented all over Youtube. |

I've been following this story some since I work up this morning and read my blog feeds. Anyway, it must really, really suck to feel like you were born the wrong sex all your life.
