But for Gabbi, the physical element was just one aspect of her transition. Learning to love who she was inside was a much bigger task.
Three months before her facial surgery, she had to stop getting Botox and let the fillers in her face dissolve so the surgeon could get an accurate picture. And for three months After she could not wear wigs or hairpieces.
“I realized at that exact moment that I had three months to get my life together,” Gabbi explained. “I looked in the mirror and asked myself, ‘If for some reason this surgery didn’t happen, would I be able to live the rest of my life like this?'”
The answer: An unequivocal yes. “I don’t care what I look like, I love myself,” she explained. “I’m a great human being. My family loves me, my friends love me, I have a good time everywhere I go. I help people change their lives, no matter what I look like. And then I “I started venturing out as myself, no makeup, no hair, whatever my body was at the time. And I slowly became comfortable with it.”
