Rock Singer Mina Caputo announces he's a man again, 11 years after coming out as a trans woman

The lead singer of Life of Agony, Mina Caputo, has revealed that he is de-transitioning to return to living as a man.

At 50 years old, Caputo shared on Instagram that he is reclaiming his birth name, Keith, stating that 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 explained 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 involves halting or reversing gender transition, which may include stopping medical treatments, changing one’s appearance, or both.

Caputo first identified as Mina in 2008 and publicly came out as transgender in 2011.

He mentioned that he chose to post the video after receiving comments from followers who said 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.."

Caputo disclosed that he has been off hormones for the past six to seven years and intends to complete the de-transition process by 2025.

"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," he said.

"I'll be physically completely de-transitioned in 2025. I can't wait. I feel so free."

"I’m very proud of myself,” Caputo added.

"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***ing over."
