The lead singer of the rock band Life of Agony has announced that he is de-transitioning to live as a man again.
Mina Caputo, 50, said on Instagram that he is reclaiming his original name – Keith – because his “gender dysphoria has been cured.”
“Surgery has been booked to remove my fake breasts, and I will be lovingly living in my divine male self,
Caputo said in a video. “I’ve cured my gender dysphoria. It took many years. A lot of walking through the fire, but I rose above my misunderstandings of my soul and my spirit.”
De-transitioning means stopping or reversing gender transition, which can include medical treatment or changes in appearance, or both.
Caputo began identifying as Mina in 2008 and publicly came out as transgender in 2011.
He said he decided to post the video announcement because his followers kept leaving comments saying he looked like a man.
