Singer detransitioning after curing his ‘gender dysphoria’: ‘Living in my divine male self’

The singer of a popular rock band has made a very unexpected personal announcement on social media.

The lead singer of the rock band Life of Agony is detransitioning more than a decade after coming out as transgender.

Mina Caputo, 50, revealed he will be living life as a male again, citing his gender dysphoria “has been cured” and announcing he has already started the process.

“Surgery has been booked to remove my fake breasts, and I will be lovingly living in my divine male self,” the rocker said in a video on Instagram, per Daily Mail.

“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 was born Keith in December 1973 and began identifying as Mina in 2008. The musician publicly came out as transgender in 2011, reports the New York Post.

He posted the announcement in response to his followers, who began leaving comments about his appearance and claiming he looked like a man.

“I’m making this video because a lot of people throwing me shade, saying I look ugly, and I look like a man,” Caputo shared.

“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,” he shared.

Caputo told his followers that he’s been off of hormones for several years, adding his detransition process will be complete next year.

“Yes, I’m off of hormones, six, seven years now and this January 2025 and I am — my surgery has been booked to remove my fake breasts and I will be lovingly living in my divine male self,” the singer stated.

The band’s lead singer said he’s “very proud” of himself.

“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 f**king over.”

Life of Agony’s bassist and co-founder Alan Robert showed his support for Caputo’s transition in the comment section.

“Proud of your journey and your raw honesty,” Robert wrote. “Always here for you no matter what. We ain’t blood but we are real family.”

Detransitioning is the process of stopping or reversing gender transition, whether it be social, medical, surgical, or legal changes.

Life of Agony is an American alternative metal band from Brooklyn formed in 1989. The group is known for albums like “A Place Where There’s No More Pain” (2017) and “The Sound of Scars” (2019).
