Alternative metal outfit Life Of Agony first came to prominence back in the mid ‘90s on the back of a unique hardcore-meets-modern metal sound. The band toured with several notable metal acts at the time and would also appear on Ozzfest.
The band’s singer, Mina Caputo, has exited the band on a few occasions as she struggled with her gender identity before transitioning. The band has been active, however, since 2014.
In a surprising announcement via her social media, Caputo has revealed that she has “cured” her gender dysphoria and will detransition back to her original self, Keith Caputo, in 2025.
“Yes. I’m off of hormones six, seven years now,” Caputo said. “And this January 2025, I am… my surgery has been booked to remove my fake breasts and I will be lovingly living in my divine male self. 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.”
Caputo continued: “I’m making this video because a lot of people [are] throwing me shade and saying I look ugly and I look like a man and all that sh*t. And 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. And all the real transsexuals know what I’m talking about, because they own their authenticity. They’re not about violating women’s rights or the innocence of children and all that. And, which by the way, which leads me to that… I’ve been posting hard about, I’m very against transitioning children medically and especially surgically. Hormones are disgusting. I can’t even begin to tell you how many side effects I went through and I can’t believe more trans people don’t speak about the side effects of being trans or having gender dysphoria and not talking about it. So, that’s my big reveal — that, and I’m changing my name back to Keith.”
“I don’t wish being trans on my worst enemy. It’s so debilitating, man. I feel bad for the parents that don’t know any better, and for the children. I really do. This is a f*cked up world, man. They’re confusing motherf*ckers too much. It’s, like, let your kids play. Drugs ain’t gonna fix anything. Surgery will not fix. Thank God I never did that down there.”
