Gabriel Paboga introduces viewers to himself and to his business on the Season 4 premiere of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way. (Image Credit: TLC)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nBecause Gabe and Monica have both watched the show, they know the memes and body-shaming that can spawn from people appearing on screen. So yes, that\u2019s an insecurity.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m just thinking, \u2018Oh, a lot of people are gonna make fun of my nipples.\u2019 That\u2019s exactly my thought,\u201d he admitted.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo that\u2019s the first thing I thought about, is how many memes my nipples are going to be,\u201d Gabriel added.<\/p>\n\u201cAnd then I\u2019m like, well, you know what, I guess, you know, people make fun of me for my nipples,\u201d he added with acceptance.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut then it\u2019s like, everything is gonna be beneficial to everybody else,\u201d Gabe added. \u201cBecause I\u2019ll go out of my way and be a fool if it\u2019s going to help somebody else.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOverall, it\u2019ll be better for the thousands of people,\u201d he then suggested.<\/p>\n\u201cBecause I know what it feels like to be in a transgendered person spot,\u201d Gabriel continued.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo it\u2019s like, I wish somebody would have told me all the things that I know now,\u201d he admitted.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo I feel like it\u2019s a good thing to show people that, you know, trans people are not just like, weird, or, you know, or a freak,\u201d Gabe added. \u201cOr they\u2019re\u00a0never gonna find love because you can live a normal life and still be trans.\u201d<\/p>\nGabriel Paboga and his lady love, Isabel Posada, appear on 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way Season 4. (Photo Credit: TLC)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nHe does worry about being seen as a touchstone for the entire trans community. Among other things, he\u2019s \u201ca little bit too reckless,\u201d he admitted.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, some viewers have criticize Gabriel for not immediately telling Isabel Posada \u2014 at least, not before they first kissed \u2014 that he is transgender. He told her before they slept together, but Isabel had already found out by accident by (relatably) thirst-stalking his Instagram.<\/p>\n
That is a complex topic. And it\u2019s something that Gabe has thought about.<\/p>\n\u201cI\u2019m not gonna lie, we were, like, dancing real nice together, and we was, like, making out together,\u201d Gabe recalled of the night when they met.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I\u2019m like, \u2018Oh, crap. She doesn\u2019t know,’\u201d he continued. \u201cAnd I always tell people because I do have a YouTube channel and I give people advice \u2014 like, if you\u2019re trans guy, you\u2019re transgender, whatever.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gabriel added: \u201cI always give people my social media before I even get on the date with them, before, like, I even give them my phone number. \u2026 Because people, when you see me, they won\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cI 100 percent should have, like, that\u2019s why I never get myself in this position,\u201d Gabriel said of outing himself to her.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut then it\u2019s like, when you meet somebody in person, and you\u2019re with them, like, do I say it, like, right before?\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
Gabe added: \u201cIt was just everything happened so fast. \u2026 Yeah, no, it\u2019s terrible.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cI wish that, you know, in a perfect world I would, but I didn\u2019t know that she even liked me in the first place,\u201d Gabriel continued.<\/p>\n
He commented: \u201cSo it\u2019s like, do I tell her that and I\u2019m never going to see her again?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just for the record \u2026 not everyone <\/em>would agree that he owes her that info right on the spot? <\/p>\nThere are some things that people should always disclose. But someone being cis or trans is debatable. I certainly am not an authority on that. <\/p>\n
But it\u2019s worth asking: how many people \u201cdisclose\u201d that they are cisgender before kissing someone? Is it fair to demand that of a trans person? Especially when trans folks can become targets for the worst bigots imaginable.<\/p>\n
If someone can face eviction, firing, or even violence just for existing \u2026 who are we to demand that they put themselves in potential danger before a harmless kiss with a new friend?<\/p>\nMeanwhile, Gabriel has zero qualms about sending money to Isabel. He doesn\u2019t think that she\u2019s using him \u2014 and notes that it\u2019s for him, too.<\/p>\n
He has a home, with his clothes and more, there. It\u2019s significantly cheaper than one of those overpriced Airbnb rentals, too.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow am I losing money and how is she using me if I have things there as well? I have all my clothes and I have everything there,\u201d Gabe noted. \u201cHow\u2019s she using me? If anything, I would be using her to house-sit.\u201d<\/p>\nAnd Gabriel is even more adamant when it comes to helping provide for Isabel\u2019s children.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, well, that\u2019s what you do, you take care of a family when it\u2019s your family,\u201d he pointed out. <\/p>\n
\u201cI just felt like, I don\u2019t know. I love her. I love her kids,\u201d Gabe reasoned. \u201cSo it\u2019s not like she would say give me money for this and this and this and this and then she\u2019s, you know, buying lavish things. She\u2019s buying food and clothes.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
