Former WWE star Gabbi Tuft, who wrestled under the name of Tyler Reks, has announced that he underwent a gender transition and is now a woman.
Cue the cringe.
Tuft wrote about his “emotional turmoil” during the transition:
The ball dropped early today as this is now worldwide news. This is me. Unashamed, unabashedly me. This is the side of me that has hidden in the shadows, afraid and fearful of what the world would think; afraid of what my family, friends, and followers would say or do.
I am no longer afraid and I am no longer fearful. I can now say with confidence, that I love myself for WHO I am. The previous eight months have been some of the darkest of my entire life. The emotional turmoil of being transgender and having to face the world has almost ended me on multiple occasions.
However, the day I stopped caring about what other people thought, was the day I truly became limitless and allowed my authentic self to come into the light. My loving wife, family, and closest friends have accepted me for who I am. To them, I am forever grateful. Your support along the way means more than you will ever know.

“Since wrestling in the WWE, the 42-year-old started a fitness company called Body Spartan with her wife, Priscilla, with whom she has a 9-year-old daughter, Mia,” the New York Post wrote.
Tuft was a WWE wrestler from 2009-2012 and became part of the SmackDown brand in 20120.
He left in 2012 in order to spend more time with his family.
