Gabe had gone to Colombia to look for a supplier for his brand’s underpants. Gabe met Isabel while he was hunting for a supplier. They had met at a mutual friend’s house. Gabe felt his heart melting when he saw Isabel for the first time. There was immediate chemistry, and he believed there was a “string” that was pulling them together. They went out that night where they kissed, hugged, and danced, but Isabel refused to have sex with Gabe. However, Gabe was relieved, since he had not told Isabel he was trans.

“I cannot be away from this woman. I love Isabel.”

The morning after he met Isabel, Gabe thought of telling her he was trans. He texted her, and she told him it was okay because she saw him as a man. Gabe thought things couldn’t have worked out any better in his favor. Gabe relocated to Medellín a couple of months later where he rented an apartment and got Isabel to live with him. He had been going back and forth ever since. Gabe was moving to Colombia permanently because he didn’t want to be away from Isabel anymore.

Gabe was making it “official.” Even his sewing machines were going with him to Colombia. Gabe was excited about moving since Colombia was trans-friendly, and he knew about a lot of trans men living in the country. The problem was that Isabel’s parents did not know that Gabe once used to be a woman. They had already accepted Gabe as their future son-in-law and accepted him, but he felt “so bad” because they didn’t know about his past. Gabe said he made it a point to not tell everyone that he was trans, including some friends.

Gabe’s Biggest Challenge While Marrying Isabel

Gabe Was Afraid Of Isabel’s Religious Parents


Gabe thought it was important to tell Isabel’s mom and dad because he was going to become a part of the family. Gabe didn’t want them to find out the truth from someone else. He was even confused about whether he should have asked for her dad’s permission to marry Isabel first or tell him that he was trans. Isabel was very close to her family and her parents were religious. However, Gabe came out to Isabel’s parents, and they didn’t mind at all that he was trans. Gabe remained skeptical about her parents’ decision until the last moment.

Interestingly, Gabe was suspicious when Isabel’s family had no issues with his sexuality, considering her dad was a conservative, religious person. However, Isabel’s dad, saying he “shouldn’t judge because He’s the only one who can judge”, had shocked Gabe. He was bracing for the worst and started overthinking about how easily Isabel’s dad had accepted him. Isabel tried convincing him that they loved him and hence, accepted him. Perhaps it wasn’t anxiety but his intuition that was trying to stop Gabe from marrying Isabel.
