Against Me! Singer Tom Gabel Comes Out As Transgender

Gabel reveals plans to Rolling Stone to take the name Laura Jane Grace after undergoing gender transition.



Against Me! (http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/against_me_/artist.jhtml) singer Tom Gabel has come out as transgender and discussed plans to begin living as a woman in the next issue of Rolling Stone. (http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/tom-gabel-of-against-me-comes-out-as-transgender-20120508)
Gabel, who will go by Laura Jane Grace and remain married to wife Heather, will undergo electrolysis treatments and take hormones to make the transition from male to female.
"For me, the most terrifying thing about this was how she would accept the news," Gabel told Rolling Stone of Heather. "But she's been super-amazing and understanding."
Gabel has dealt with gender dysphoria for years and decided it was a good time to speak up about the private struggle, telling only a few family members and friends about the upcoming transition before talking with the magazine. "I'm going to have embarrassing moments, and that won't be fun," Gabel said of coming out. "But that's part of what talking to you is about — is hoping people will understand, and hoping they'll be fairly kind."
Though Gabel is the first major rock star to undergo a gender transformation, she's hardly the first celebrity. Larry Wachowski, half of the Wachowski-brother directing duo behind the "Matrix" trilogy, has been credited as Lana Wachowki in recent work and seems to now identify as a woman, though neither sibling has spoken publicly on the subject. Chaz Bono, meanwhile, made a very public run on "Dancing With the Stars" as the first transgender contestant (http://newsroom.mtv.com/2011/09/01/cher-chaz-bono-dancing-with-the-stars-attacks-twitter/). Chaz, born the daughter of Cher and Sonny Bono, underwent female-to-male gender transition between 2008 and 2010.
In the next issue of Rolling Stone, due Friday, Gabel will tell her full story, including what the revelation means for the future of Against Me!

Againt Me!'s Laura Jane Grace: Coming Out Ended My Relationship With My Dad

Against Me! singer Laura Jane Grace says that coming out as transgender in a recent issue of Rolling Stone "completely ended my relationship with my father."

In a new interview with MTV News, Grace is asked about her father's response to the article and says, "He tried calling, I tried calling him back but then he wouldn't call me back. I wrote him a really long email, and I apologized and told him the way he was portrayed in the Rolling Stone article was a little harsh. I apologized for that, I apologized for not telling him in person before, that I felt like a total coward for that. I explained about gender dysphoria, I told him if he had any questions, there were books I could point him in the direction of reading. He wrote me back maybe a two or three sentence-long email that just said, 'There was something very lacking in your presentation. For now the door is open, but we'll see.' And that's it."

Grace also speaks openly about her progress in transitioning from male to female and undergoing hormone replacement therapy. "I'm one day from being one month into HRT. The mental effects have been immediately like night and day; it made a world of difference in my life. I find that in a lot of situations in the past where I would have gotten frustrated or angry, I am a lot more calm and centered. I just feel at ease and like myself. Physically, I feel impatient."

MTV also interviewed Grace's Against Me! bandmates, who discuss how her coming out has changed the day-to-day dynamic of the band. "I think [the band] has been happier and everyone is getting along famously," says bassist Andrew Seward. "It's a very nice, positive, family vibe on the bus and at the shows."

I like happy endings like this.

As a homosexual, you should be throwing her under the bus.

eh I just posted the article.

I honestly have never heard of the band.

[Kane Knight]

Hearing of it or not, homosexuals are the natural enemy of the tranny.
