Tom Gabel of Against Me! Comes Out as Transgender
I thought this might interest some of you folks. However, his (her) name means nothing to me. I haven't a clue about his person, their group or their music

We are perhaps a bit older than her demographic?
She's going to remain married to her wife and be the parent to her kids. Her name would have been Laura had she been born a girl, so her new name is Laura Jane Grace. Here's a photo comparison:
Everything I've read seems to indicate this is authentic. God bless her, I hope everything works out okay.

As is my wont
I looked at the comments.
"I am confused.....the wife is straight, so now she has to be gay because her husband is a man? Or is she allowed to have sex with other men, now? Also, is the name Laura Grace Gabel or what? How do you explain to a 2 year old that daddy is now mommy? Could't he just be a transexual after the kid goes to bed? I don't understand."
Part of the above I am addressing as best I can in one of my stories, the female straight partner presented with a female gay (trans) partner. Fair question, The bit about the kid, well, welcome to our world.
A tougher transition then most I'd say
If she wants to continue in her chosen profession will she be able to effect a decent singing voice? It may or may not be easy depending on what her vocal range is. As a hopefully a trained singer, the talking part might be easier but vocal range is vocal range and I know it is hard to retrain a singing voice.
On top of that she is obviously in a very public profession so she more than most is risking her entire livelihood on her transition.
On the plus side, she as a he has a very nice face, I think she will turn out quite pretty.
