Tom Gabel, the lead singer of punk rock band Against Me!, is about to make like Chaz Bono. In reverse.
The musician has admitted to Rolling Stone that he's been dealing with gender dysphoria for many years and will soon take the medical steps - ingesting hormones and undergoing electrolysis treatments - toward living life as a female.
Gabel will change his name to Laura Jane Grace and will remain married wife Heather, who was the focus of his interview with the magazine.
"For me, the most terrifying thing about this was how she would accept the news," said Gabel. "But she's been super-amazing and understanding."
What will this change mean for the future of his group? Why did he go public with the news? Gabel explains all in this month's issue of Rolling Stone.
"I'm going to have embarrassing moments," he tells the publication, "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."
