The transgender journey can be rife with internal questions about body image and external presentation. My own journey regularly sparks questions from others, given my position as a public — and extremely fit — athlete and fitness influencer. One of the questions I often field is: "Gabbi, how did you lose all the muscle mass?" The answer isn't as straightforward as people may expect but is informed through 30 years in the fitness industry and my personal transition experience. Every transition journey is unique. If you've known one transgender person, then you've heard about only one transgender person's journey. Mine was a study in evolving strength — inside and out.
