We also met Monica, his sister. Monica read Gabriel while he was getting his tribute tattoo to Isabel. Gabe is charming, but also impulsive.

“And it’s scary, because I never know what I’m doing,” he confessed. “I kind of just go with the flow at life. It’s just that I don’t know what to do. It’s because I just don’t know how to plan anything. Really.”

Gabriel Paboga introduces viewers to himself and his business on the Season 4 premiere of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way. Monica and Gabe have both seen the show and are familiar with the body-shaming and meme-making that can result from someone appearing on the screen. So yes, that’s an insecurity.
“I’m just thinking, ‘Oh, a lot of people are gonna make fun of my nipples.’ That’s exactly my thought,” he admitted.
“So that’s the first thing I thought about, is how many memes my nipples are going to be,” Gabriel added.
“And then I’m like, well, you know what, I guess, you know, people make fun of me for my nipples,” he added with acceptance.
“But then it’s like, everything is gonna be beneficial to everybody else,” Gabe added. “Because I’ll go out of my way and be a fool if it’s going to help somebody else.”
“Overall, it’ll be better for the thousands of people,” he then suggested.
“Because I know what it feels like to be in a transgendered person spot,” Gabriel continued.
“So I feel like it’s a good thing to show people that, you know, trans people are not just like, weird, or, you know, or a freak,” Gabe added. “Or they’re never gonna find love because you can live a normal life and still be trans.”

He is concerned about being seen as an example for transgender people. Among other things, he’s “a little bit too reckless,” he admitted.
Meanwhile, some viewers have criticize Gabriel for not immediately telling Isabel Posada — at least, not before they first kissed — 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.
That is a complex topic. Gabe is still thinking about it.
He continued, “She doesn’t know.” “And I always tell people because I do have a YouTube channel and I give people advice — like, if you’re trans guy, you’re transgender, whatever.”
Gabriel added: “I always give people my social media before I even get on the date with them, before, like, I even give them my phone number. … Because people, when you see me, they won’t know.”
“I 100 percent should have, like, that’s why I never get myself in this position,” Gabriel said of outing himself to her.
“But then it’s like, when you meet somebody in person, and you’re with them, like, do I say it, like, right before?” he explained.
Gabe added: “It was just everything happened so fast. It’s horrible.
There are certain things people should always disclose. It is not clear if someone is cis- or transgender. I am certainly not an authority on this.
It’s worth asking the question: How many people “disclose” they are cisgender prior to kissing someone? It seems unfair to expect that trans people should be treated the same way. Especially when trans folks can become targets for the worst bigots imaginable.If someone can face eviction, firing, or even violence just for existing … who are we to demand that they put themselves in potential danger before a harmless kiss with a new friend?Meanwhile, Gabriel has zero qualms about sending money to Isabel. Gabriel doesn’t believe she is using him and points out that Isabel has his own home with all of his clothes and other belongings. It is significantly less expensive than renting an Airbnb apartment.
Gabe pointed out that Gabe has all of my clothes and everything there. “How is she using me?” If anything, I would be using her to house-sit.”
And Gabriel is even more adamant when it comes to helping provide for Isabel’s children.
“Yeah, well, that’s what you do, you take care of a family when it’s your family,” he pointed out.
“I felt like, I don’t know. She is my best friend. Gabe remarked, “I love her children.” She’s buying food and clothes.” She’s buying food and clothes.”
