Gabby acts like a Gay Man


Gabby acts a lot more like a really really really gay man than a woman.

I don't see how Gabbie acts like a gay man. She may have some masculine characteristics, but many cisgender (non-transgender) women have masculine characteristics as well. As a woman, Gabbie considers herself polysexual, meaning that she is attracted to men, women, and differently gendered people. For one thing, gay men have no desire for sex reassignment surgery. Gabbie probably was insecure prior to her surgery, but I hear that she is now a very successful and happy woman. If you think Gabbie acts like a gay man, explain how and I will consider it.

I agree. Gabbie definitely does not act like a gay man. I even saw her on the GLAAD media awards and she was more beautiful and feminine than ever. But even on Transgeneration, she did not in any way act like a gay man. She seems to be as happy and cheerful as ever.

Frankly I am really surprised that Gabbie knew she was a female from her earliest memories, had two sisters, and still did not know much about being feminine. I know there are biological women out there who aren't overly feminine but Gabbie seems to have wanted to be really girlie. I would have thought she would pay attention to how to do things like pluck her eyebrows properly, style her hair, pick the right clothes, etc. I assumed she was an only child or had brothers before her sisters popped up.

Your un *beep* beleiveable!~
how dare you! infact.. i do dare you!.... i do dare you to spend one minitue in this hell! I grew up with an older sister. Does that mean i shoudl automatically know how to do al theese things. heres what you dont know your ignornat peice of crap... what you dont know that almost all persons who suffer from GID - when growingup.. tend to get as far away from the ( creeping up on them gender ) - in gabbies case. This is why i knew the pain she felt, because he didnt look her best at all times. she has to learn all this stuff for herself. i knew the pain she felt because of all the bad fasion sence and such, this tells me that that she suffered with it for a long time. how dare you even say such a thing. why dont you - for one minutue go thgrough the hell in which we do. jerk

I, too, am a transsexual woman and I have known for as long as I can remember that I am female, but like Gabbie, I still need help mixing & matching clothes, putting on makeup, and to a lesser extent, styling my hair. I feel a lot of pain because I constantly wonder who will help me with these things. I have a younger sister except she is away from home in college and uncomfortable with me being transsexual. Gabbie was not alone in the least.

Guys guys, we need to remember that there are PLENTY of women (not trans) who need help in the areas mentioned. Hair, fashion and make-up disasters. Just saying.

Yes, because women are born with an innate sense of fashion. Wtf?

Exactly, that is why I never watch shows like this. I knew a transsexual who was flawless in make-up and her hair, but she still came off as a 6'3" man in drag. People would stop and stare, etc. She even had to carry around a letter issued by her psychologist stating why she was dressed that way in case she was stopped and questioned by anyone
