At the time of the Rolling Stone interview, Gabel had yet to reveal her transgender status to her parents, who are divorced, and had only recently told her Against Me! bandmates about her decision to transition (“I felt like I drop-kicked them in the face,” she said. “We had the most awkward hug ever, and then they left. And the second I shut the door, I was like, ‘What the f—- did I just do?’ “). But she says that she has every intention to carry on fronting the band, saying: “However fierce our band was in the past, imagine me, six-foot-two, in heels, f—-ing screaming into someone’s face.”

And though much of the Rolling Stone feature focuses on Gabel’s journey, Eells also spoke at length with Gabel’s wife, Heather, who admitted to being a bit thrown by her husband’s revelations, but ultimately decided that she wanted to stand by her side during the transition … and beyond.

“I kept waiting to get mad. Like, ‘Tomorrow, I’ll be really upset,’ ” Heather told the magazine. “I’m like ‘Let’s just see what happens, and we’ll just roll with it.’ My friends have been like, ‘What about you?’ But I’m fine. I just want him to be who he is, and for us to get on with phase two. You know, just … change.”
