In February 2021, ex-WWE star Gabbi Tuft surprised the world after she came out as a transgender woman.

Many of her fans were shocked to see how she achieved a feminine body despite a super-jacked physique.

Now, Tuft decided to share how she lost her muscles and got the feminine appearance she dreamed of.

Tuft's Trans Journey is Her Ugly-Duckling Phase 

When Gabbi Tuft was known as "Tyler Reks," she weighed 280 lbs (over 127 kg). Her body fat was only around 6% to 8%. This means that when she was a WWE wrestler, her body mass was mostly made up of muscles.

According to Business Insider, Gabi struggled to make her transition since she chose to do it in her early 40s.

The now-TikTok star said that her body had been filled with testosterone for many years before she became a transgender woman.

"Coupled with my active, fitness-focused lifestyle and position as a WWE professional wrestler, I had built a large amount of muscle onto my frame," she said.

To achieve her dream feminine body, Tuft said that she had to make herself a guinea pig. She combined her fitness and nutrition expertise to identify suitable nutrition styles and approaches.

It took her two years to land a combination of fitness and nutrition that worked for her body type.

How Tuft Achieved Her Dream Body 

Gabbi said she already knew there would be some awkward moments during her transgender journey. Since she already identifies as a trans woman, there were some moments when she looked like a big guy wearing makeup. 

"I looked like a dude wearing makeup, threw insults, cursed me to hell, and said I'd always be a man," shared the TikTok influencer on her recent IG post. 

Since her in-between moments were rough, she called her transgender journey the "ugly-duckling phase" of her life. But she remained committed to her dream. 

Thanks to all her efforts, Tuft is now wholly a transgender woman who helps other people with their fitness and health goals.  

Tuft Understands Why People Boycott Companies Supporting LGBTQ+  

Gabbi Tuft is a trans woman who is very open-minded when it comes to the LGBTQ+ community issues. Via Newsweek, she said she understands why people are boycotting companies supporting the LGBTQ+ society. 

The ex-WWE star explained that many individuals feel uncomfortable since there are some instances when the LGBTQ+ community seemingly shoves transgender issues "in their face." 

Tuft suggested that the LGBTQ+ society could find different ways to better support each other without making the traditional community uncomfortable.
