Tom Gabel comes out as transgender, set to begin transition via therapy

By Riot Fest / May 8, 2012 / Archive

In this week’s issue of Rolling Stone (on newstands Friday) Against Me! frontman Tom Gabel will officially announce his intentions to transition his gender via hormone and electrolysis therapy. When the transition is complete (without any plans of surgery at this point) Gabel will take the name Laura Jane Grace. In the preview on Rolling Stone’s website Gabel reveals a lifelong, private struggle with gender dysphoria and the preview says the article will go farther in depth on the future of the band as well as the history of gender dysphoria and more specifics about the transition process.
