Gabbi Tuft, a former WWE wrestler, has spoken about her experience of transitioning from a man to a woman
She was previously known in the ring as Tyler Reks and lived a life focused on fitness and strength.
At her peak, she weighed 280 pounds and followed a strict workout and diet plan. She ate nearly 10,000 calories per day to maintain her physique.
Gabbi described her past self as an “alpha male” with a strong and confident personality. She had long dreadlocks and tattoos, making her look distinct.
“I looked like a mix between Ragnar Lothbrok and the Mountain from Game of Thrones. You couldn’t miss me.”
Later, Gabbi began expressing her true identity by wearing heels and women’s clothing.
Making the decision to transition was not easy. She felt a strong need to match her inner self with her outer appearance.
Once she committed to her transition, she let go of her muscular image and embraced femininity. She described the experience as “powerful” and life-changing.
“When I decided to medically transition, I was ready to let go of everything.”
Her transformation was both physical and emotional. She had to change her fitness routine and lose a significant amount of muscle.
Gabbi now works as a fitness counselor, helping others with their personal health journeys. She believes understanding the “why” behind a goal is key to success.
“It’s about the emotion behind your goals. Without a strong reason, it’s easy to give up.”
Gabbi’s story has received mixed reactions online.
Many people support her journey, calling her transformation “amazing” and “inspiring.” Others wished her well in her new life.
At the same time, some disagreed with her transition and shared critical comments.
Despite different opinions, Gabbi continues to focus on her journey and helping others through fitness.
