Gabrielle Marion - Je suis Gabrielle

2019, Canada, French, Gabrielle Marion,

Original title: "Je suis Gabrielle" (I am Gabrielle) by Gabrielle Marion.

Gabrielle Marion has always felt like a girl, although she was born in the body of Gabriel-Jacques Marion, a boy. The first part is the story of Gabriel who is full of doubts that have arisen around his real identity and feelings.

The second part touches upon the birth of Gabrielle, and the transition into the young woman she has always felt in herself. The change was possible thanks to all those around her who supported her but also thanks to medical interventions, including the bottom surgery, which allowed her to assume her real female identity.

According to her website, Gabrielle Marion is a trans woman, web content creator, originally from Repentigny, an off-island suburb of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. For the past years, she has been sharing her transition details on social media. Even before she undertook gender reassignment surgery, Gabrielle had been a vlogger. Her beauty tutorials, storytimes, and informative vlogs transport her subscribers to the heart of her reality. 

In 2019, she published a book entitled "Je suis Gabrielle" with Éditions de L'Homme, in which she lifts the veil on transsexuality. She is a reference for the LGBTQ+ community in Quebec. Being an influencer is often associated with marketing promotion for products. For Gabrielle, it's quite the opposite. She uses her online visibility to inform, educate and popularize transsexualism on a daily basis.
