Keith Caputo De-transition Sparks Controversy

Keith Caputo, formerly known as Mina Caputo and the lead singer of the band Life of Agony, has announced his decision to de-transition and live as a man again. He shared on Instagram his plans to reclaim his original name, Keith, and undergo surgery to remove his breasts. Caputo stated he has 'cured' his gender dysphoria after stopping hormone treatments years ago, and he aims to complete the de-transition by 2025. His announcement has sparked controversy, particularly due to his criticism of gender-affirming healthcare and claims of only two genders, which align with trans-exclusionary radical feminist rhetoric. Despite the backlash, Caputo expressed relief and freedom in embracing his male identity, emphasizing growth and personal change. His decision is notable in the context of the broader discourse on transgender issues, as detransitioning remains a rare and complex phenomenon.
