Mina Caputo, the lead vocalist of the rock band Life of Agony, recently shared a personal update on Instagram.
In a heartfelt video, Mina revealed plans to detransition and live as a man again.
As part of this journey, Mina announced the decision to reclaim their original name, Keith Caputo.
Moving forward, Keith will continue to be the voice of Life of Agony.
“Surgery has been booked to remove my fake breasts, and I will be lovingly living in my divine male self,” Caputo said in the 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.“I’m making this video because a lot of people throwing me shade, saying I look ugly, and I look like a man.
Caputo added, “It’s like honey lamb, I am a man, I always was a man. You’re just not used to hearing authentic people speak. You’re used to people spitting lies at you about their identity.”“I’m very proud of myself.
“I’ve been through so much over the years. I wouldn’t wish gender dysphoria on my worst enemy. It’s one of the most uncomfortable things I’ve ever been through in my life, and I’m just so happy that it is (expletive) over.“I love you.
“And thank you for being supportive. Thank you for not being supportive because everything teaches me. And that’s what life’s about. Life’s about growth. Life’s about change. Life is about creating change. And I am one of the greatest alchemists I know and manifestors that I know. And, man, have I been manifesting peace of mind like no other and peace of heart and peace of soul.”
In a recent update, Keith Caputo, the lead vocalist of Life of Agony, announced the decision to revert to his birth name, dropping “Mina” which he adopted during his transition.
