I am trans. I am a guy, a man, but I also have experience of something else, says Gabriel Pagés in the reality show where the participants get married without having gotten to know their partner beforehand.
It is when the couple goes on a romantic honeymoon in the third episode of the series that Gabriel Pagés opens up to his wife, Sara Linderholm.
"When I was little and they started dividing the children into boys and girls, I felt that something wasn't quite right. They sent me to the girls and it didn't feel quite right. But I didn't have the words to describe it," Gabriel tells Sara, writes Hänt.
But he tells the newspaper that his wife learned the information earlier, when the cameras were off.
Of course I was a little nervous, but that's also part of me, so it was kind of something that needed to be done. And then she reacted very nicely, she just said, "Yeah, okay, okay," Gabriel tells Hänt.
For him, it was important to tell Sara Linderholm privately, before it was shown on television.
So for me it was important to talk about it with Sara, the two of us, so she would have a chance to react or not react. I thought it would be about respect. Then the production also wanted the viewers to understand and follow that part too, he tells Hänt.
