Against Me! singer Tom Gabel has come out as transgender, and told Rolling Stone that he will begin living his life as a woman. The first major rock star to come out as transgender, Gabel has dealt with gender dysphoria for years. Gabel will soon begin hormone treatments and undergo electrolysis treatments and will eventually take the name Laura Jane Grace. Gabel will remain married, and said that while his wife has been “super-amazing,” Gabel admitted there would will be some “embarrassing moments ahead.”
