Last year, Life Of Agony singer Mina Caputo announced a transition back to being Keith Caputo. The vocalist originally came out as transgender in 2011. 

During a recent interview with Buck Angel, Caputo talked about the decision to go back to identifying as his birth gender. “I felt like I was doing a disservice to the world because I’ve been medically not on hormones for about six or seven years now,” Caputo said. “I took myself off of hormone therapy in 2016, because after roughly 17 years of being on hormone therapy, it was incredibly, incredibly difficult for me. And I went on hormone therapy even after male puberty. I can’t even imagine what hormone therapy would be like for a child before puberty.”

“Let’s just face it, as children, we all go through some kind of identity disorientation. Some things stick to us and some things just work themselves out through time, and that’s why I don’t think hijacking these little spirits, these little humans is really… I think there’s a lot of malpractice going on.”

Caputo went on to say he was torturing himself through the hormone therapy. “And then to protect all these ideologies that I had about myself being trans and being a non-gender-conforming child, which I’ll always be… But there’s more of a clarity now. I’m walking in a more healed version of myself.”

Caputo continued: “Listen, we all have body issues. We all have some kind of body dysmorphism or disorientation, even biological young girls. They’re all filling up their face with fillers. This is also a disorientation. This is also something going on in the mind. This whole species is quite traumatized.”

“I’m not 100 percent cured. I know I have this feminine energy inside of me. I could play. I can do whatever I want. If I have a new lover and he wants me to play the the woman, I will. I’m open. I’m an open book. This is who I am. I’m a rebel at heart. I’m feral. I’m a f*cking nonconformist at heart.”

Caputo is scheduled to have surgery to remove his fake breasts later this month. “So what just recently happened is that I was stuck in some kind of limbo for the past four or five years,” he said. “I finally leveled up. I made decisions for myself. I called my surgeon. I already have my consultation. I got my date, January 28. I’m going to be living in my full male capacity. I’m taking the fake boobs out. Because you know why? I feel like I found my mental health.”
